Several users have come forward with their own theories about the spoon’s history.
One user wrote, “I think I probably thought of grocery items. I have 3-4 of them now. I can’t remember what they were, but if you think of branded groceries that were common in the 90’s, tea brands… “Maybe. I’ll check.” Tomorrow, if my mother remembers. ”
You probably came up with groceries. There are currently 3-4 pieces.
I don’t remember what it was about, but a popular branded food item in the 90s might have been a brand of tea.
I’ll see if my mom remembers tomorrow.— Saswat Panigrahi (@Sassy_104) March 21, 2024
Another user commented, “I heard it was given for free with Red Label tea packs,” while another user recalled, “I think it was free with Taj Mahal tea or Red Label tea.”
It seems that a red label tea bag was included for free.

On the other hand, someone claimed that it came with Santoor soap. “Santoor, Santoor. That’s when Santoor decided to give free spoons along with soap as a marketing strategy and this became very popular. So all of us Indians have the same He left a type of spoon at home, and Santoor became famous for the rest of his life.”
