So last week I was watching some cricket highlights on TV, and there’s Virat Kohli drinking this blue bottle during a match break. Looks fancy, right? Makes you wonder how much that fancy water costs normal folks like us. I thought, screw it, let’s actually figure this out step by step.
The Starting Point
First thing I did was grab that water bottle pic online. Yeah, just a basic screenshot from the match replay. Bottle says “Sceptre” big and clear on the side. Okay, so Sceptre is the brand. Obvious.
Getting Down to Business
Next morning, I hit the big grocery store downtown. Stood right in that cold drinks aisle for damn near half an hour, staring at plastic bottles like some kind of weirdo. Found the Sceptre section eventually. Saw all these fancy glass bottles looking like they belong in a five-star hotel mini-bar. Prices? Hell no, they weren’t listed per liter anywhere! Took out my phone calculator like a total nerd.
Here’s the damage:Bottle Sizes:
- 250 ml glass bottle = ₹140
- 500 ml glass bottle = ₹220
- 1 LTR glass bottle = ₹390 (jackpot!)
- They had bigger plastic ones too, like the 5-liter office jug for ₹750
Right there in the aisle, I did the quick math: ₹390 buys exactly 1 liter in glass. Case closed? Nah, felt too easy.
Digging Deeper Like A Weird Detective
Back home, coffee in hand, I thought: “What about those plastic bottles Kohli was chugging? Probably cheaper.” Scrolled through local grocery apps searching for “Sceptre 1L plastic”. Found it – ₹125 for 1 liter plastic. Way cheaper! ₹390 glass vs ₹125 plastic? Huge gap!
Realized then: Kohli’s drinking from the disposable plastic ones on-field. Makes sense – easier to grab, smash, recycle. Ain’t carrying glass bottles onto the pitch!
Bottom Line
So if you’re buying Sceptre water like Virat Kohli does? Here’s the real breakdown:Sceptre Mineral Water Cost (Per Liter):
- Glass Bottle: ₹390
- Plastic Bottle (Disposable): ₹125
- Big Jug (Office Size): ₹150
Wrapped it up feeling like Sherlock of bottled water. Key takeaway? That celebrity water looks fancy as hell on TV, but Kohli’s probably paying less than ₹2 per sip during breaks. Marketing does wonders. Regular tap water costs us pennies. What a world.
