Coconut Oil?

I have a nice container of it sitting in my cupboard. No idea what it'll wind up being used for. While I see about a million different potential uses on blogs and Pinterest, which no doubt are just as miraculous as people claim, I can't bring myself to actually try any of them (again). You see, I did try coconut oil as a face cleanser, lip scrub, skin moisturizer, and even as an ingredient in deodorant. The problem? I CAN NOT STAND THE SMELL/TEXTURE/TASTE OF COCONUT. So while I am sure it is a wonderful natural beauty/baking/other product, it's just not for me. I think I may have read somewhere that fractionated (sp?) coconut oil is flavorless/(scentless?), I haven't exactly looked for it and am not sure I will. So what do you think about all the rave over coconut oil?

Here are a couple of links in case you're curious about the purported uses of coconut oil:
