- The iced water in transparent white nylon bags has resurfaced due to inflation-induced price increases in sachet water.
- A woman in Ibadan was filmed selling two nylon bags of iced water for N50 in a park.
- People in the park were intrigued and brought their phones to film.
As the cost of sachet water rises as a result of inflation, iced water sold in transparent white nylon bags has returned.
Two nylon bags filled with chilled water were being sold by a woman in an Ibadan park for N50.
In the park, curious people pulled out their phones to take videos.
This is because, just a few months ago, a bag containing twenty sachets of water was sold for N150; today, it averages N350. It is apparently now N50 for a single sachet, which used to sell for N10.
Because sachet water was cheap, iced water sales stopped years ago. But now it’s returned.
Below is a video of the woman selling iced water.
