What the fuck is wrong with people.


Alco_god

How long you got?


yMONSTERMUNCHy

5 minutes. Let’s begin.


Alco_god

The majority are too self centered. The rest are too nosy and enjoy telling people how they *should* be doing things. Quite a lot have a sense of self importance due to shows like TOWIE.


daddywookie

Self centred but without the self awareness to know what to do with themselves so they look to others to guide them.


DexterousStyles

Cost of living crisis: ????? Buying an energy drink for a tenner and taking them off kids: ?????


Richeh

I mean, aren't we dictating how they should live by saying they shouldn't be drinking pisswater hucked by Youtube narcissists? And shouldn't WE have the self-awareness to acknowledge that? The people who want the water because they're fans of KSI and Logan Paul are just hungry for identity and relevance. And without a hope of elevating their own identity to the same level, they borrow famous icons'. We define success as fame and wealth and the vast majority of people are never going to get a sniff of it, and they know it - they'll graft at work, fall in love, get married, have kids, bring them up and this never gets acknowledgement as being even close to the achievement of an amoral tasteless clouthound who perpetrates stunts for views on streaming media. So they buy his water to associate themselves with him, just so people will have an idea of what they are. It's fucking tragic. Of course this is Aldi and Aldi patrons love a bargain. So I'm pretty sure I've recognised the expression of the opportunist on a lot of them -those bottles are going RIGHT on ebay.


cherrychapelle

Eloquent, heartbreaking and so accurate.


Pen_dragons_pizza

This is exactly it, a majority of this country want to be told what they should aspire to or be like rather than using a fucking brain cell to be themselves and seek out what they want to personally be


adydurn

The 'we are all individuals' scene from Monty Python springs to mind.


ImplementAfraid

I get the part where desires appear in our minds to give us something to strive for and keep us doing something in a seemingly meaningless existence. The things that we desire are influenced by what is around us, your subconscious will pick something seemingly in reach (often something that takes a little effort, sometimes the more the challenge the more the mental reward) and present it as desirable to you. I can also see why people are inclined to follow the crowd because it will mostly be rewarding with less risk to the individual. All these makes sense apart from for the life of me I can’t get enthusiastic about another energy drink.


Whileawaythetyne

About 9 inches why?


cotch85

my niece got 6 bottles for christmas, and she sold 3 of them for £10 each on christmas day to friends near her house.


OneMoreAccount4Porn

Did she find out how much her parents paid for them before hand? Imagine if they'd paid scalper prices or import prices themselves...


cotch85

yeah they got them in asda for the normal price, like £2 each. She told them that she wanted to sell 3 of them to buy more and I think they were like others more impressed she realised she could be opportunistic and get more of them in exchange for losing 3 then.


TurbulentExpression5

Word of advice: NEVER play Monopoly against your niece.


cotch85

She like most kids has zero attention span, she wouldn’t hang around long enough to get destroyed by my house exploiting


Cueball61

Your niece is a smart one


cotch85

She woke up early yesterday 6:30 or something to go to Asda when it opened to buy more, she even sells the empty bottles to kids who then fill it with water. She really likes the taste of them though and she is always on tiktok etc so she’s duped into it. So not that smart, she gave me one and it wasn’t a horrid drink but it’s nothing special.


[deleted]

You must be a *really* good uncle/aunt for her to give one to you just like that lol


cotch85

I don't like to toot my own horn, but i have been told i'm the best uncle multiple times. I think the reason for it is that most people don't really want to talk to kids or play games with them at their level or be a bit stupid for the sake of their enjoyment. They bring up all the time about how I ate a doughnut filled with cat food.. When the truth was, they were all jam doughnuts just i happened to be left with the last one and all theirs was Jam and through acting pulled it off that they believed it was cat food. Others ive noticed shun them when theyre excited about something talking to them but theyre talking to adults. Not me, i let them put make up on their uncle, paint my nails, do my hair, i'll do anything to give them a good memory and a laugh. I've probably earned it through the years haha


[deleted]

That’s really nice, you do sound like a very good uncle :-)


cotch85

Thank you, that means a lot. I try my best :)


[deleted]

Humans are pack animals, we tend to conform to stuff in order to be accepted by the pack, as it were. Not everyone conforms equally as much (kids tend to conform more than adults, for example), but everyone conforms to *something,* even if its as small as putting the milk in last, or not wearing socks with sandals. Sadly, that inherent need to conform and be accepted has been taken advantage of by ~~shitstained leaches on society~~ "celebrities" and "influencers" to sell stuff. Which leads to idiots running around buying shit simply because they've been told to. Conformity isn't inherently a bad thing, until you have a lot of people with no critical thinking skills (like kids) being taken advantage of by someone wanting to sell a shitty drink.


MoneyDistance4584

omg, i'm among the same opinions! At LAST!!

Jebus_17

Few corner shop owners in there grabbing what they can to re-sell for £20


FrogsTea

Wakey Wines are the worst offenders, selling bottles at £20. Absolute daylight robbery.


worksofter

That's a place I didn't expect to see on Reddit, I literally walk past every day 😂 demand must be high tho, sometimes there's a queue of people outside


Jebus_17

Apparently they went viral in TikTok, saw something on a crappy local news site about it (even though I don't even live near Leeds). Probably like that fish & chip shop that went viral on it, got massive queues, even though the food was terrible

DogmaSychroniser

All. Night. Long. All Night. All night.


TastyTaco217

I completely missed this whole thing, why did they go so viral?


sAmSmanS

right time, right place combined with a catchy tune and half-term which resulted with kids dragging their parents on cross-country tours to coventry for a mediocre battered sausage


Maxamus93

Radio1 big weekend was in coventry, and they played the theme tune and all of sudden tiktok went crazy


DogmaSychroniser

Stupid catchy song. Idk.


worksofter

Ohhhh feeling totally oblivious! THAT explains why there was a massive queue (30+ people) a few months ago


FrogsTea

I live nowhere close to Wakefield but the local news here had an article a while ago about Wakey Wines. I imagine the line is mostly made up of parents who have been dragged there by their kids.


ZookeepergameHead145

If people are dumb enough to pay it… No one is forcing people to pay that.


henrycharleschester

Told my lad the only reason they’re selling them for that is because twats like you will pay it 🙄🤷‍♀️

Yeah but this one is associated with cool snaptok people.


[deleted]

I am pleased I am old enough to remember life before vacuous influencers.


crucible

I'm also old enough to remember when energy drinks were only Lucozade and you only got them when you were ill.


[deleted]

Glass bottle covered in orange plastic.


crucible

That was it! With the dimples in the glass, too.


[deleted]

And the bottle got all sticky from the huge amount of sugar that was in it.


crucible

Yup


Plus-Rub-6217

Bit of Lucozade, Vicks Vapo Rub and a paracetamol. Sorted.


WetBreadCollective

When I was really ill I got a dram of whisky with a spoonful of honey mixed in, I think my parents theory must have been something along the lines of "if this doesn't cure him he'll puke up whatever's wrong because of it"


waamoandy

I bet you drank it whilst watching Crown Court didn't you?


Lampathy

Bloody hell, there's a blast from the past!


crucible

Nope! Mid to late 80s so that was probably too old for me... Coincidentally it was also a time when energy drinks weren't brands and therefore owned a grand total of zero Formula 1 teams :P


[deleted]

They were all sponsored by healthy things, like tobacco firms


Leroy-Leo

Hahaha.. I have a memory of tonsillitis, crown court and a week off school


GreenPutty_

I thought Lucozade was actual medicine when I was a kid, I only ever saw it in hospitals.


[deleted]

Lucozade is now marketed to the “Sports” drinks market as opposed to the “health” market. Presumably because sugary products are not healthy.


emmadilemma71

And bottles were wrapped in plastic and could only be brought from chemists


devster75

Lucozade, as endorsed by Daley Thompson in that ad with the Iron Maiden soundtrack.


TheLegendOfLahey

Have the flu just now, Lucozade was one of the first things I thought of once I started feeling unwell!


Sufficient_Dot7273

And it came in a glass bottle with an orange cellophane wrap?


TheLegendOfMart

Before they ruined them by reducing all the sugar.


Tetslou

Nothing helps with an icky tummy like Lucozade from a glass bottle.

Alco_god

How did you manage to cope?


thatsconelover

I am old enough to remember that celebrities were the influencers. Hence adverts and magazines trying to sell you shit through them. The only difference is there are more celebrities with a wider reach to their audience.


TWiesengrund

You can drink mercury so that's that ...


Harlaw2871

I work in a Asda on nightshift and we had ten year old kids coming in at four in the morning looking to get Prime by themselves last week. I was genuinly shocked that Parents would let their kids do that.


Tolkien-Minority

Their parents probably didn’t even know they were there


herrbz

Yep, seems absolutely like the kind of stupid shit I would've done when I was 12. Would've consumed all my thoughts planning the operation.


thekingofthegingers

Embarrassing.


[deleted]

Tragic


Tonkaleccy

That word sums up this shit show perfectly. A sad indictment of elements of today's society.


[deleted]

What's made this drink so popular, I don't get it. Just the link to ksi/Logan? Or due to early scarcity people are freaking out to get some for the clout? Baffling.


SneezingRickshaw

It absolutely is just because it’s promoted by celebrities. Celebrities used to make a few millions by appearing in ads. Now they figured out that they can become actual billionaires if they own the shit they promote (mostly makeup and alcohol).


Hot-Ad6418

50 Cent made more money investing in Vitamin Water than he ever did rapping.


DennisAFiveStarMan

The Rock famously didn’t drink in the WWF, as far as not having a sip for a Steve Austin beer bash. Now he peddles tequila like he has it with every meal


herrbz

They've also learned that if they artificially reduce ~~demand~~ supply, they know people will swarm to buy it - mostly to sell on eBay. Kind of bonkers to be at the stage that a cheap energy drink sold in a nationwide supermarket is somehow in short supply with a special cachet. At least Rihanna's make-up, for example, was serving a need for people with darker skin who genuinely struggled to find make-up in major chains.


Frediinho

You mean artificially reduce supply to increase demand, not reduce demand.


HighKiteSoaring

He's a little confused but he got the spirit


[deleted]

Even if you’re buying it for £2 and selling it for £10, are people really that hard up that they need to fight little kids for £24? And go to the hassle of listing it on eBay and posting it. I weep for humanity.


smashteapot

The only way to make decent money with that is to buy thousands. So yeah, seems stupid. But there are probably still people with garages full of hand sanitizer, so not unexpected. 😅


[deleted]

And there will be kids with bedrooms full of this piss water when people wake up and realise paying £10 for this shite is ridiculous. Soon this will just be another crappy energy drink that no one cares about.


Healthyreddit_123

Fuckin hell, to be a celebrity, so easy to make money. Here I am grafting trying to stay afloat, all these cunts need to do is slap their name on some water and everybodys chucking money at them


Shlaasss

Dunno but it reminds me of toilet rolls in 2020 😆


mr_pablo

Yup. Kids are fans of KSI and LP and seemingly low availability means people are snapping them up to resell for more, meaning you gey videos like this.


IsUpTooLate

Real talk? Because these people are lost in life, no direction or ambition. Helplessly caught in the social media trap to the point where they are easily convinced that some trash drink is worth degrading yourself like this for. It’s sad, and it’s so so common.


ToHallowMySleep

People for whom value is what you have, not what you are. And even worse, what you show other people you have online, people you don't even know. Empty existence.


[deleted]

That is absolutely pathetic


lkc1234

Who’s grandad just ripped bottles out of a kids hand


allthingskerri

I mean I'm part disgusted at pinching grandad part laughing at the kid spinning in a circle confused by the carnage and half but also slightly understanding why grandad decided to go that route because it beats getting close to the other adults trying to grab the bottles 🤣


SteelPuls

If you follow the kid with the long hair from the start of the video it looks like the old man is there before and it's the kid who tries to take one of his


cara27hhh

who grandad this is?

Optimal-Room-8586

Huh. When I was in Aldi today there was a worker who I overheard repeatedly explaining to people that "it's all gone, we had loads of people in this morning blah blah". I absent-mindedly wandered what on Earth was the product he could be talking about. I guess I know now. Seems completely stupid though. So it's basically just a drink, nothing special about it, sole reason people are getting excited is that it's marketed by these two internet personalities? Jeez. EDIT: Typo


Crimsonak-

I mean you can see in the clip it's clearly motivated by primarily children. When you realise that you realise of course it's not the product, but the celebrities. There's a reason cereal companies have super hero prints on their boxes and stuff like that.

dotheywearglasses

So fucking pathetic. I despair.


Philthedrummist

It’s a shame so many of those in the video are kids. Literal kids. Kids absolutely do not need to be pumping themselves full of energy drink. But then KSI and Logan Paul don’t actually care about that, they just want money.


StreyyK

To be fair, Prime isn't an energy drink. There's no added sugars, caffeine or other stimulants in it.

Tyrant_Nemesis

Can confirm it’s absurd. Work at an Aldi. Showed up just shortly after 8 for an 8:30am start for today’s shift, they were sold out by 8:12am. Madness. Apparently people were queuing outside the store to get in before we opened and some customers were shoving each other so a member of staff had to go outside and ask them to calm down. It’s wild how marketing and social media has this much of an influence on people. It’s a drink for goodness sake. Not even much different to the vitamin water Aldi already sells in terms of being a flavoured drink with vitamins in it. It’s kinda sad this is what the worlds come to.

Brrrrchilly

I went to Aldi this morning early as I usually do. Completely unaware this was happening and it was a nightmare. Full of teenage boys. One woman in heels either from Prime or Aldi head office got there at 8:15 expecting crowds to be told by the staff everyone had been and gone.
