In his quest to discover the mystery, user X started a discussion on X.
There is a wide variety of cooking utensils in our kitchen and each one has a purpose. From stainless steel plates to copper bowls and pots, the list goes on and on. But one thing is common in every Indian home. That’s a spoon with an intricate design engraved on the top.
Everyone has it and uses it every day. Recently, user X asked why every Indian household has the same type of spoon and the responses were hilarious.
Recently, user X posted a picture of the famous steel spoon and wrote, “Anyone else? Do you have this same spoon?” The post garnered a lot of attention and people have been sharing their funny reactions to it.
Among them, user X, called Sidin, asked, “Okay. I’m going to find out why everyone in India has this spoon…it must be an interesting story…”
In his quest to uncover the mystery, Sadin started a healthy discussion on X which led to a humorous conversation. Several people shared what they knew about the history of that famous spoon.
A user said, “One nation one spoon.” Another wrote, “National spoon of India.”
“Every House has. Universal spoon from India, ha ha ha,” wrote one of them.
A user wrote, “Maybe you should ask if anyone has this same spoon.”
“Somehow I always see only 1-2 pieces of the exact same spoons in households,” said another person.
Some users shared their own theories and wrote, “They probably created some grocery product. We have 3-4 of it now. Can’t remember what, but if I think of a common brand grocery item in the 90s, it might be a brand of tea. I’ll check with my mum tomorrow if she remembers.”
One of them wrote, “I’m told it’s given free with Red Label tea packets,” while another recalled, “I think it’s free with Taj Mahal tea or red label tea.”
A user recalled saying that the spoon came loose with Santoor soap and wrote, “Santoor santoor. It was when Santoor decided to give away free spoons with its soap as a marketing strategy that it became extremely popular. And so all of us Indians have the same type of spoon in our homes and santoor got its publicity for life. “
Do you have this same spoon in your home too? Do you know where it came from?
