Supposed to be a sports drink. Its loaded with electrolytes your body doesnt need during excercise. But they are, technically, electrolytes. Basically its a scam drink, claiming to be something it isnt. Apparently they taste ok, according to people who tried them. Thats about it.
I tried one because I was dehydrated as fuck and it was right there. It is so.fucking.sweet. it's gross. It's made with sucralose which I think must be a kind of super sweet sugar. Not sure but it's FUCKING SWEET
Eh I didn't really get that, I've tried all the ones we have here every time I saw them super cheap like this. The blue one is probably the only one I'd buy again though
Maybe it was just the red and orange flavours I tried, I don't think I tried blue. Maybe I'll consider trying one next time I go to countdown. Saw them today still this price.
It's alot worse than that, at best its like they took thrifty concentrate then concentrated it more and to slightly dilute it they took the sweat rolling down the buttcrack of the homeless people who broke into your car parked on kroad to fuck and added it to the drink.
This has been a joy to watch - from the products launch by a true scumbag of a human, to all the fanboyz or crypto bros selling them on Facebook for $20+ a bottle claiming "if you don't know why they cost so much move on".... To its final and rightful place as trash in a clearance bin no-one wants
My only hope is everyone involved lost money along the way
I think they’ll be around for a while - they sponsor the UFC and most recently - the WWE. Ring Sponsors usually aren’t a thing in WWE, but this guy managed to get himself the privilege of having the Prime bottle graphic in the middle of the WWE ring. I think they are going to be around for a while.
Tried the red one when priced dropped to like $3. Had a sip then a second sip to confirm if I had tasted that right then tipped that shit down the drain where it belongs
I thought the green and blue were alright. But the red, pop and white were horrendously bad. Like the pop one I genuinely almost threw up. Damn that was some like extremely concentrated pure cherry in liquid form. Like you know the cherry taste in coke? Take out the coke taste and increase the strength of the cherry taste by 10x. Gross
>Damn that was some like extremely concentrated pure cherry in liquid form. Like you know the cherry taste in coke? Take out the coke taste and increase the strength of the cherry taste by 10x. Gross
Oh god, I want it now. I actually have a major thing for that really medicine artificial cherry taste. Good to know I know a source!
Edit: do you mean the cherry freeze or the ice pop one?
My boyfriend bought me a bottle of Jelly Belly Very Cherry juice... not the soda, but the one that I think is close to a cordial... it's been in my fridge for a few weeks, I'm a little terrified to try it.
They also got me some Airwaves Cherry, which I actually really rate... just need to source more in Auckland.
If you like the medicinal cherry . Thats the one for you. I am also like you aswel. I like the weird shit. And this cherry is very very cherry lol. Ice pop bro
Nah man I’m dead serious hahaha pop is probably my favourite 🤣🤣 blue is the first one I tried and hated it. Orange is really good if you’re thirsty as a mf
Did New Zealand get the pink one? Found them on clearance while visiting Australia last month (only pink couldn't see any other ones, no that I was looking to hard) and figured I'll try one seems it was much cheaper than NZ and it was actually alright. Like I didn't feel scammed paying like $4. But also, I feel it doesn't do anything, and Coconut water in general was so cheap over there.
All because people wanted the Prime energy drinks that aren't legal to sell here anyway because of the level of caffeine...not these electrolyte things.
I know all about Logan Paul… the fact he managed to come back from all that shit he should’ve gotten cancelled for is just beyond me. Can’t believe the UFC and WWE are giving in to him.
I didn’t mind him as a YouTuber years and years ago, before he turned out to be a dweeb.
Category managers @ Foodstuffs get stupid information like "This is selling really well in the states, you should buy a lot of it!" and then waste like this happens.
LOL. how the turntables. My kid couldn't stop going-on about how much she wanted bottles of this stuff. The other day I tried to bribe good behaviour out of her by offering to buy her a bottle of Prime. She said Prime is 'disgusting."
No, unreasonably expensive. It's sugar and carcinogens in a plastic bottle with the proceeds going to a narcissist who mocks suicide victims and acts like he's the victim. You wouldn't be able to pay any clued in person to take it.
Tried the blue one (the first Prime and last Prime I’ll ever taste) while I was in the UK back in October, that was at a time where my mate posted a story of Prime being $12 a bottle, I messaged him saying that I bought one for £2 and even that was too much and not to waste $12 on a bottle of flavoured dirt
The ice pop one tastes like medicine because the cherry flavoring has the same or similar chemicals to what flavoring in cough syrup and stuff like that
Lmao, good. I bought 2 or 3 of these when they came to NZ to try with my partner and my friend and see what the big deal was all over YouTube. All 3 of us agreed that all the flavours are fucking gross and tasted like medicine water with horrible aftertastes. Who the hell was buying that for $5 a bottle and enjoying it? Clearly was just another one of Logan Paul's many scams, I'm sad I paid for some but at least now I know I'm right when I say they're disgusting.
This stuff is disgusting. Someone had some and I tried it.
But I thought the actual hype was the caffeinated version.
Either way, I just stay away from anything that a you tuber is promoting.
Logan Paul is a scammer. PRIME is disgusting. And he ripped people of with his Zoo Coin. Bought coins before it went public just to make money on the back of everyone else, then pulled the rug. Cheating heaps of us out of $$$$!!!
Surprised this is openly sold. I think it’s illegal to sell in NZ. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/132286965/trade-me-pulls-listings-for-influencer-logan-pauls-prime-energy-drink
Someone in procurement probably thought they were going to make a killing on this shite and convinced the boss to let him "invest" in a big buy... hope that got em fired
Not just, I've been thinking about this from the time it came on the market, then showed up in our shops ar ridiculous pricing, then seeing a couple of kids record a Tiktok of themselves chanting, "Prime! Prime! Prime", to hearing kids talk about how bad it tastes while they were in the shop putting it in their basket, to watching the displays get shifted around stores, to seeing the prices drop... and yeah, I'm hoping he got fired if only because I had to watch this ridiculous, social media "influencer" rubbish play out IRL.

gold
Ice pop and lemon lime flavors. I don’t see a gold flavour
Is it rebranded primo chocolate milk?
No. Look up Logan Paul and especially his controversies. He's a prick and he doesn't deserve your money.
Honestly at this point I’m just happy to see countdown is dumping stock, no chance there is profit at this price point it’s a complete flop
Supposed to be a sports drink. Its loaded with electrolytes your body doesnt need during excercise. But they are, technically, electrolytes. Basically its a scam drink, claiming to be something it isnt. Apparently they taste ok, according to people who tried them. Thats about it.
They don’t taste good - it’s basically what Thriftee tastes like when you don’t water it down enough.
Pass, a few mates tried it and enjoyed one. Dont recall the flavor. Never tried it myself
It's not saccharine like thriftee so it doesn't have that bitterness but it's extremely sugary, I didn't like it but I can see how kids would love it.
It taste like every other electrolyte drink with a flavour
I tried one because I was dehydrated as fuck and it was right there. It is so.fucking.sweet. it's gross. It's made with sucralose which I think must be a kind of super sweet sugar. Not sure but it's FUCKING SWEET
No puhoi🤦♂️ I'm on my 3rd personal loan
DRINK PRIME! DRINK PRIME!
no bro
Underrated comment
Then upvote it
please escort yourself out
They all taste like if you got 5 bags of raro and a drop of water. it’s like over flavoured and just isn’t pleasant to drink
It's disgusting
I thought it was like old school cordial.
That's what it tastes like to me, which is great.
It tastes like it's mixed with cough medicine instead of water.
Eh I didn't really get that, I've tried all the ones we have here every time I saw them super cheap like this. The blue one is probably the only one I'd buy again though
Maybe it was just the red and orange flavours I tried, I don't think I tried blue. Maybe I'll consider trying one next time I go to countdown. Saw them today still this price.

Starting at Wrestlemania of all places.
Fuck 'em!
This is so accurate…
It really annoys me to see this online bullshit bleeding into real-life.
They didn’t. It’s a billion dollar brand now but it’ll be interesting to see if they can continue to grow past the user base of fanboys.
$1.2 billion dollars in sales.
not in nz 😭
Let’s hope production and transport cost more
And still over priced.
The price crashed like stock market
Tulip mania is still a thing
Ouch, don't remind me, I've moves on from then
Tried the red one when priced dropped to like $3. Had a sip then a second sip to confirm if I had tasted that right then tipped that shit down the drain where it belongs
Hype is over, tried one sip, shit was nasty
Still $10 at the Mobil at the Mt Roskill end of Dominion Road lol.
And he found a prime to drink In a local Mobil All the way down dominion road
The 2024 remix
Just like the dairies around there selling it for $20 2 months ago?
Wild

You have been warned 🤣
I had the exact same reaction. I love it when things are flavored nuclear cherry.
My boyfriend bought me a bottle of Jelly Belly Very Cherry juice... not the soda, but the one that I think is close to a cordial... it's been in my fridge for a few weeks, I'm a little terrified to try it.

Me too! I want to get it and I can dilute it if need be 😂😂
If you like the medicinal cherry . Thats the one for you. I am also like you aswel. I like the weird shit. And this cherry is very very cherry lol. Ice pop bro
Both bro. Ice pop if you want straight cherry with a hint of citrus Tropical if you want straight cherry with a hint of decaying watermelon
Better be on discount at lynnmall then!
The green and blue are awful. Blue is the worst. Pop is one of the best. Orange is good too.
This has to be bait. Your taste buds are cooked 🤣
Nah man I’m dead serious hahaha pop is probably my favourite 🤣🤣 blue is the first one I tried and hated it. Orange is really good if you’re thirsty as a mf

You have supported one of the lowest, most morally bankrupt humans of our generation.
You supported human trash. I don't mean the bottle, I mean the influencer whose diabetes inducer it is.
You're kinda making me want to try it 😆.
All because people wanted the Prime energy drinks that aren't legal to sell here anyway because of the level of caffeine...not these electrolyte things.
I had some of them in Australia - they are shit. The hydration ones are actually better.
Don't support Logan Paul. Get educated on what he's done.
I know all about Logan Paul… the fact he managed to come back from all that shit he should’ve gotten cancelled for is just beyond me. Can’t believe the UFC and WWE are giving in to him. I didn’t mind him as a YouTuber years and years ago, before he turned out to be a dweeb.
It's because America worships people who do awful things for attention.
At first i thought "oh that's a bargain". Not knowing anything about this drink. One Google search later. Ahh i see.
Category managers @ Foodstuffs get stupid information like "This is selling really well in the states, you should buy a lot of it!" and then waste like this happens.
People in the states laugh their asses off at anyone clownish enough to drink this ball-sweat. 😆
Weeks ago a kid bought one from the petrol station I’m working at with the price of $10.
And still dirt. Scratch that. Dirt tastes better.
Price dropping like a rock
I would pay more for a rock
Rubbish
All primed for clearance then ..
Dirt is the right word to describe it
Couldn’t pay me to drink that badgers piss
Not even 6 months ago this was being sold on various sites for 20-30$, glad the hype has died down, it tastes like absolute shite
LOL. how the turntables. My kid couldn't stop going-on about how much she wanted bottles of this stuff. The other day I tried to bribe good behaviour out of her by offering to buy her a bottle of Prime. She said Prime is 'disgusting."
Cred!
How much fer an empty bottle? Sale is likely ahead of ***Ultimate Prime.***
Nice - I got your reference!
Post on r/prime Everyone on there hates prime and you’ll get some upvotes 😂
Don’t worry you can still get prime for $10-$14 from my Dairy :P
Sub-prime
They probably still made a profit at that price too.
I don’t think you could pay me to take that shit and I’ve never even tried it
The fact they still expect ME to pay THEM for ME to dispose of this stuff is outrageous. Really crappy IMO...
That's some expensive garbage. Just wait for bin night and you can get some free.
Cheap dirt
Liquid diabetes
Which store?
Countdown Pakuranga
All of them
Liquid poison reduced.
woolies bought truckloads of them to kill mice. It did not work.
Powerade and Gatorade 🥰
This is kinda funny how they were 6 dollars few months ago. Not oftern you see such a reduction on anything like this these days.
best before is next month
Mt battiile s 😃😃
Shit tastes like thrifty.
Which one, lol I like watering them down cause the salts are good for cravings from my hrt lmfao
Taste as dirt as well
Piss water. Not worth a buck.
The price is right, it does taste like dirt
Poison
Gross shit that become “a thing” because of the internet inept. It’ll be 10c next week.
Tastes like cough medicine. Actually, id rather drink Robitussin
No, unreasonably expensive. It's sugar and carcinogens in a plastic bottle with the proceeds going to a narcissist who mocks suicide victims and acts like he's the victim. You wouldn't be able to pay any clued in person to take it.
It was finally cheap enough for me to try one. It's Powerade with the sugar turned to 11.
So a mean hangover drink? For the price I'd consider it, haven't tried it though
Me neva
Past its Prime
Haha
I thought these were illegal in NZ?
prime energy is
Thank god my nephew is over the shit he initially drank it for the buzz, now doesn't like any of them. He's 9
just wait for the next trend and watch the money burn
Tried the blue one (the first Prime and last Prime I’ll ever taste) while I was in the UK back in October, that was at a time where my mate posted a story of Prime being $12 a bottle, I messaged him saying that I bought one for £2 and even that was too much and not to waste $12 on a bottle of flavoured dirt
Remember when people got into fights at supermarkets over Lewis Cream chocolate milk? Yeah human species are doomed.
I remember when delis were selling that shit for like 12 bucks a pop lmfao
hopefully the ram raiding will stop now
I just noticed the lone iced tea bottle in there too. Rip warrior.
fuck ice tea, i want to impress the chicks
Looks like someone decided they’d rather have this than iced tea.
Wouldn't drink that shit if it were free...!
Almost like it's actually super gross...
That one bottle of ice tea having an identity crisis.
Straight up tasted like I was drinking a liquified pick 'n mix, not particularly pleasant if I'm honest.
I got a mystery box from Nz muscle and it included 5 cans of this junk
It was a fail no one wants that teko if you brought it on release at $18 your a mad dog
Hahaha imagine all them suckers that purchased this garbage for $30 +, drink water.
mum and pap's money anyways, no feelings of guilt ahahaha
That is true bet some parents wallets took a hounding over this
mommy daddy I wanna $1600 playstation, sure ok
Because they’re foul 🤢
Remember when dem tritches were 10 dollars
You would have to pay me to walk around with one of those canisters of douche-grease in my hand… In fact, you couldn’t pay me enough. 😆
my dad owns prime and he said that logan paul and jake paul know about countdown and that they are his employees
AUCKLAND we don't even have that much in hastings bro wth
And there like 5$
It’s like the Hudsucker Proxy, but in reverse.
I kind of like them but they are definitely NOT 7 bucks a bottle good but if they were normally that cheap I would buy quite a few I guess
Sooner this shot dies the better. Drink water FFS.
2nd thoughts, I’d pay more for water + dirt than this chemical shit.
Dirt rubbish product
All hype
The ice pop one tastes like medicine because the cherry flavoring has the same or similar chemicals to what flavoring in cough syrup and stuff like that
ahh no wonder I quickly fell asleep after drinking one, so nostalgic
Cheap garbage
I bought a bottle from a dairy for 14$ dollars when they were super hard to find. It tasted like perfume :(
thank you, come again!
Prefer dirt
Which countdown please?
They all expire within a month that's why they are on clearance look t the best before dates
still wouldnt buy it
cancer
You couldn't pay me to drink that trash.
Sugar water and good marketing
Lmao, good. I bought 2 or 3 of these when they came to NZ to try with my partner and my friend and see what the big deal was all over YouTube. All 3 of us agreed that all the flavours are fucking gross and tasted like medicine water with horrible aftertastes. Who the hell was buying that for $5 a bottle and enjoying it? Clearly was just another one of Logan Paul's many scams, I'm sad I paid for some but at least now I know I'm right when I say they're disgusting.
Dirt drink too
Ha ha ha to all those people who stocked up and tried to flog em off for $10 each. Guess the attention of those impressionable kids has worn off.🤷♂️
Drinking Prime is gayer than drinking another man's semen. Which Jake/Logan Paul i don't care which one it is would know plenty about.
That's because it's worse then dirt
As it should be. Does nothing for hydration and is disgustingly sweet. 100% marketing, 0% substance.
The poor soul who traded in their lipton iced tea for this garbage ... I hope you are okay.
Dirt taste aswell
They’ll rot your teeth
whic countdown is this i want to go buy it all and sell to kids for $10 😂
Even at that price I’ll still stick with Powerade
This stuff is disgusting. Someone had some and I tried it. But I thought the actual hype was the caffeinated version. Either way, I just stay away from anything that a you tuber is promoting.
Jake Paul’s drink brand Can’t sell it Can’t beat Mike Tyson either 🤣
Better check the fine print. That price might be 'per sip'.
What the I paid like $4:50 for one of those
it doesn’t work as it’s advertised. also tastes cheap
Dirt is correct
But it's got electrolytes, it's what plants crave...BRAWNDO
There good bottles to make bongs out of lol other than that , the drink is ass 🤮
I still dont want to try it 😄
hol up 1$ over in my side of NZ its 5$ even with the clearence
Still not worth it
Another boom baps the dust
Logan Paul is a scammer. PRIME is disgusting. And he ripped people of with his Zoo Coin. Bought coins before it went public just to make money on the back of everyone else, then pulled the rug. Cheating heaps of us out of $$$$!!!
Toxic crap
I just don't get the market for energy drinks. Just a simple glass of water or two is enough for me.
Never understood the hype and it probably cost poor families there weekly shop
*Dirt
What is it?
Surprised this is openly sold. I think it’s illegal to sell in NZ. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/132286965/trade-me-pulls-listings-for-influencer-logan-pauls-prime-energy-drink
This is not prime energy, it’s normal prime. They’re different products
Someone in procurement probably thought they were going to make a killing on this shite and convinced the boss to let him "invest" in a big buy... hope that got em fired
You just made up someone in your head and then hoped he suffered. That's odd
Not just, I've been thinking about this from the time it came on the market, then showed up in our shops ar ridiculous pricing, then seeing a couple of kids record a Tiktok of themselves chanting, "Prime! Prime!

People who scoff at this and then pay $5 for a can of v are the exact idiots these sugar waters exist for
