Viral Video of Papua Elementary School Student Buying Bottled Water in Plastic for Rp5 Thousand, Netizens: Can Get a Gallon Here

Dream - A video circulating on social media shows a teacher at an elementary school in Pegunungan Bintang Regency, Papua, recording his student who just bought bottled water. This video was uploaded by the Tiktok account @efarista25.

This video has attracted attention because the bottled water purchased by the student is not packaged like regular mineral water.

Usually, bottled or glass water is sold, but the elementary school student drinks it from a clear plastic container with a straw.

What's unique is that the price of the water being enjoyed by the scout-uniformed student is quite expensive.

When asked by the teacher about the price of the plain water without ice that he was holding, he answered that it costs Rp5 thousand.

Then, he told his teacher that he bought the drinking water at one of the stalls in his school cafeteria. This elementary school student said that he bought the bottled water because the flavored water had run out.

"Sio.. A beautiful and enthusiastic child. Will become a successful person." wrote the caption of the video.

After being uploaded, this video went viral on social media and has been watched over 5.9 million times. Not only that, this video also received various responses from netizens in the comment section.
