Most of the water here is sold in small plastic bags. You chew the top off the bag and suck it out in one. They´re sold everywhere.
On a recent bus journey we pulled into town and the usual mass of hawkers barged onto the bus selling the usual stuff; biscuits, ice cream, fizzy drinks and water.
Outside the bus was a young entreprenuer who´d found himself a carrier bag, like you would get from Tesco, filled it up to the brim with water and stuck a straw in the top. He was selling it for the bargain price of 10p. The journey had been so hot and dusty I was about ready to down a shopping bag´s worth of water. I was a little concerned about hygene factor though. So instead manage to find a chap with a dusty bottle of water.
After a couple of minutes everyone drank up, threw their empty bags out of the window - as everyone does in Nica - and off we went.
Top marks for initiative though.
