Udupi, Aug 1: The people of Hejamady and Padubridi had a merry time as several sachets of coffee powder appeared ashore at the beaches.
As soon as the news about the coffee sachets spread, people rushed to the beaches and got busy collecting them.
Sachets of coffee brands like Kopiko, 3-in-1 coffee comprising 10 small sachets in every packet were found. There were also packets consisting of sugar, milk powder and coffee powder, it is said.
People were seen collecting and taking away the coffee packets in plastic and gunny bags. Some came in auto rickshaw and took away the packets, said locals.
It may be recalled that two days back branded footballs worth Rs 7,000 each were washed ashore. People who collected them have sold the footballs for Rs 600 to Rs 700, it is learnt.
The coffee sachets probably belong to a sunken ship.
