Pharmacist's Six-Month Water Consumption Experiment Goes Viral
A Nigerian pharmacist, known on X as @mrmekzy_, is set to be rewarded by Dr. Egemba Chinonso Fidelis, widely known as Aproko Doctor, for consuming 660 bottles of Aquafina water in the space of six months. The pharmacist's feat became public knowledge after he released a picture of himself with empty packs of the Aquafina water, which he had drunk in the past six months.
According to @mrmekzy_, at the start of the year 2026, he wanted to discover how much water he would drink over six months and eventually a year, and decided to keep every single bottle of water he consumed.
Details of the Consumption
In his tweet on July 8, @mrmekzy_ revealed that he was able to drink 55 packs of 75cl Aquafina bottle water, which is 660 bottles and 495 litres of water in total. He wrote: "At the beginning of this year, I wanted to find out how much water I’d drink over six months and eventually, a full year. So I made a conscious effort to keep every single bottle of water I finished, even the ones I drank while I was out. I’d put the empty bottles in my car and bring them home. Six months later, I’ve gone through 55 packs and 660 bottles of 75cl Aquafina, that’s a total of 495 liters of water. Not bad at all."
Aproko Doctor's Reward Offer
The pharmacist's tweet went viral and caught the attention of Aproko Doctor, whose real name is Dr. Egemba Chinonso Fidelis. Aproko Doctor promised the pharmacist 'a container of water' and tagged the brand's handle. He tweeted: "Make I tell @AquafinaNigeria to paste you one container of water. On me." The pharmacist appreciated the doctor for his gesture, replying: "Ahhh my chief! Thank you o."
Public Reactions
The man's showcase of plastic bottles stirred various reactions on social media. @tej31620 commented: "You see one thing about comfort, e go dey make you do crazy things. Person wey dey struggle or who is worried about unpaid bills no fit get time for this kind thing." @Mr_Jay888 said: "You are not drinking enough water oo, that's less than 4 bottles a day. Well, I assume you don't stay at home much so you buy water outside." @Nellymaxi731 asked: "Let's assume you kept the packs of the water you drank at home, how did you get the packs for the ones you drank outside?" @Mykoladoo praised: "I see discipline, dedication and commitment here. Thanks for keeping the city clean." @_ikemba noted: "Hello Pharm, I am sure you definitely missed out a lot of bottles along the line. Hence you should have had more liters of water in 6 months. In a day you needed 4-5 bottles of 75cl."
