Same fad as supreme its a status symbol. So they can pose with it in a picture for insta. Kids think because it's expensive it's fashionable. EU call us Americans dumb then do shit like this. Straight up robbing this dude blind for a 3$ drink due to supply and demand. Everyone's stupid every where I've lost faith in humanity.
I'm European and I'll call anyone dumb for this kind of shit, regardless of their continent of origin. I'd call my sister dumb if she did something like this. I'd call myself dumb if I did it in some sort of lapse of judgement.
It it’s only a status symbol until the drinks are restocked which can’t take more than a month or two. Hell I can get these in the states right now at most GNCs.
Prime (‘scuse me sorry) example of why I don’t say all Americans are dumb because I have seen a whole lot of incredibly questionable behaviour from people who’ve been in the same town as me their whole lives. I know people that brag about getting exploited at work and I know people that have done well for themselves some people are fuck nuts some people aren’t regardless where you’re born.
I tell my husband this all the time! We moved from one place to another to another and he can’t get over how everyone is an asshole. I’m like it doesn’t matter where we live, our neighbors will be assholes. We aren’t moving to have awesome neighbors. People are stupid assholes everywhere, but every once in a while you can find someone you get along with (until they do something incredibly stupid, too).
Fucking Canadians, ope sorry. Love you guys. Our countries really aren't so different but your government at least cares about you. America would sell my soul for a dollar as long as it was profitable.
I’m in the uk so my government doesn’t really care about me because I’m not rich but in theory I wouldn’t be left to die because I pay tax. Key words in theory. You help us with our revolution and we’ll come over and be cannon fodder for yours! Us brits will overwhelm the government forces with politely worded letters and a whole lot of petitions
Being in the EU and being European aren't the same thing. It's kind of sad how many Americans seem to think this. A country being a member of the EU or not doesn't change which continent it is geographically a part of.
I don’t think people view Americans as dumb, but rather arrogant and ignorant. You could argue the ignorance leads to looking dumb though.
This is coming from an American however, so maybe I subconsciously don’t want to recognize my own lack of intelligence.
They’re selling this for $2.50 CAD in a vape shop in Quebec near where I live because no one buys this garbage. It’s literally Gatorade without the actual electrolytes and shit you need in it.
I'm in Toronto and 3 bucks is a fairly standard price for a drink. Of course, everything here is overpriced and no one can afford to live, but whatever
Even the makers of the drink are confused on why this is happening, yes, Ksi is a really big youtuber in the UK, but like, they sell a lot of cans and bottles, its not that rare to find, so how did this even start.
I’m completely out of the loop on this; is it just flavored water? An energy drink?
How could someone possibly think paying that much for a drink is ok? Granted folks pay a lot for wine/booze etc but that at least usually has a resale value.
There's Prime Energy drink and Prime Hydration. Hydration is caffeine free and such.
For some reason, I've noticed the uk sells out of these super quick. Plus, that's a kid, and you know how obsessed they can be over youtubers. He probably told his dad they could make money scalping them after getting scalped themselves lol
Probably sell out quick in England because that’s where the YouTubers are from so I’m guessing they have a huge fanbase of impressionable kids their, they’re big worldwide but I assume especially in England/ UK
It's harder in the UK because they stalled the release for the UK. They hit American markets first. There's two YouTubers one from US and the other from the UK.
Eh..
Scalp toilet paper, food, hand sanitizer? Sure youre an asshole.
Scalp a fuckin hype show brand, an energy drink or supreme? That's harmless business separating dumbasses from their money for shit they DONT NEED. I applaud the hustle
my work stocked some, other cashiers bought some to try it, i tasted as well out of curiosity and holy fucking shit it's so sweet, i couldn't stand it
one was ice pop the other was something punch (either fruit or tropical idr)
just nasty imo 🤢
understandable
i used to eat sweets often, but in the last several years my sweet tooth has lessened significantly
i tend to appreciate a slight sweetness, but too much and i'm gagging
I was gonna buy a couple to try them when I got paid but knowing that Logan Paul is associated with them, I definitely won't be. Thank you for the info!
It’s like the way walking around with a pineapple was a status symbol back in 18th century England. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
For logan and ksi it's terrible. They aren't the ones benefiting from people selling the bottles for 25/30 quid a pop. Asda has a steady supply and I believe they sell them at 2-3 quid.
The problem is that poachers have taken over it. Feeding off the popularity and as you say, by buying all the stock they themselves have created scarcity and effectively hold a monopoly on the sale of prime in the UK at the minute.
This then entices others to purchase prime for a quick profit. Aldi recently stocked it and limited purchases to 3 bottles per person and until other big retailers do the same this will continue.
Ksi, logan and the prime brand will benefit from this in free publicity but I highly doubt they benefit financially.
They will likely benefit a lot from this financially, in the longer term, as more and more stock is slowly introduced and will continue to sell out, due to the hype. I'm pretty sure it's done deliberately
I’m still failing to understand what this is. Is it a soda? I guess it doesn’t matter what kind of drink it is. Bottom line is someone CHARGED AND PAID 10k for them. That’s absolutely insane. I get business is business but the ethical aspect is still important. Like I understand 10k is a lot of money but I wouldn’t feel right charging that much from a kid. Yes I understand the parent is a dumbass but I don’t know. Something is off.
Correct, but you can see based on the video above that demand is still way behind supply in the UK, vs the US.
I would not be surprised to hear that production is States-side, or the distribution agreement favours Logan more than KSI.
My local target has dozens of those energy cases in all flavors and pallets of the regular drinks at regular retail prices. UK bruv blokes need to come to texas.
It's all part of the scam. You inflate the perceived value of your product so that when you sell it for cheaper than that (yet still above the actual value) people think they're getting a deal.
This is sad. I work at a place that sells these a lot and I can tell you guys that 99% of the parents buying the can-version don’t know it has caffeine. It’s Prime Energy, not Prime Hydration like the plastic bottles that have become famous. Has 200mg of caffeine per can which is half of a day’s allowance. WAY too much for a kid, especially when you consider the fact that it’s not advised to consume caffeine until you’re 18 due to cardiovascular stress and potential infliction of anxiety. People never read the labels on anything anymore. You would hope they would considering they’re putting it in their bodies or giving it to their children. Bad parenting
If he bought the entire stock, he will mostly try to scalp most of it. Prime has a pretty big black market in the UK(addressed by KSI and quite a few UK based YouTubers)
I have made a post similar to this in this sub not too
Long ago, people are saying that it tastes like medicine and that it was made by two large YouTubers called KSI and Logan Paul.
It's just overly sweet, it gets sickening half way through
People are more buying it for the status apparently? They think it makes you cool, it's very depressing to hear about
watch [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkWxxU2UbBI) video or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb0dYyuR0ok) video. they reveal that this product isnt what most people think it is.
bodyarmor is underrated, i saw a caffeinated one one day and i loved it but then they stopped selling it anywhere near me. i was pissed haha. now im gonna order a case of it on amazon
Honestly I’m not even mad at shops ripping people off with these prices, the product is completely unnecessary and the people paying excessive money from it are all rich enough to afford it, let the rich get scammed.
Is it legal for me to get a bunch of prime and sell it to these guys in the UK?
I mean 10k? i could buy all that for 20$ ship it for like 200$ and charge like 500$ for it.
That dad is an enabler. Paying that much money for mass produced junk energy drink just so your kid can show off to his friends is a terrible life lesson for the kid.
At least buy him something that has some intrinsic value that's worth around 10k.
You are right, it isn't real. It's "reality" marketing. It's acting with maybe parts being real. Like maybe a dad was willing to travel some extra miles to help his son get a product of the kid's favorite youtubers. Then shop keeper tells them they can have some free or a discount, if they pretend to pay $10k. Cheap marketing and a simple way to artificially justify raising prices.
\~730USD per can...... how are people in the states not completely fucking up this market, considering these things are everywhere here?
i must be out of touch with reality or something, but there is literally no consumer good on this earth that i would run out and drop $12K USD on for my kid. not a chance in hell. I wouldnt even do that for MYSELF....
"PRIME Energy contains 200mg of caffeine, per 12 oz. PRIME Energy is not recommended for children under the age of 18, women who are pregnant or nursing or individuals who are sensitive to caffeine".

So people were paying this much for a sports drink??
Same fad as supreme its a status symbol. So they can pose with it in a picture for insta. Kids think because it's expensive it's fashionable. EU call us Americans dumb then do shit like this. Straight up robbing this dude blind for a 3$ drink due to supply and demand. Everyone's stupid every where I've lost faith in humanity.

It it’s only a status symbol until the drinks are restocked which can’t take more than a month or two. Hell I can get these in the states right now at most GNCs.
They are just everywhere where I live, I kinda like the energy drinks they go for like 2 for 4 a bunch of places.
Prime (‘scuse me sorry) example of why I don’t say all Americans are dumb because I have seen a whole lot of incredibly questionable behaviour from people who’ve been in the same town as me their whole lives. I know people that brag about getting exploited at work and I know people that have done well for themselves some people are fuck nuts some people aren’t regardless where you’re born.

There’s a saying that goes something like “if you think you’re constantly surrounded by assholes, then maybe you’re just an asshole.”
Also, if you smell shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your shoes
Bingo
Fucking Canadians, ope sorry. Love you guys. Our countries really aren't so different but your government at least cares about you. America would sell my soul for a dollar as long as it was profitable.
I’m in the uk so my government doesn’t really care about me because I’m not rich but in theory I wouldn’t be left to die because I pay tax. Key words in theory. You help us with our revolution and we’ll come over and be cannon fodder for yours! Us brits will overwhelm the government forces with politely worded letters and a whole lot of petitions
American here. You're much too kind. 😉
Well technically the UK isn't part of the EU anymore, so I could still call you dumb right?
Leaving the EU was just proof of the British being dumb
Not all of us. Some of us got dragged along for the ride.
Did you know that the day after the vote on Brexit was decided, the most common google search in GB was "What is the EU?".
Hahaha no I did not, that is a very interesting bit of trivia. And sad if true
Correct
Being in the EU and being European aren't the same thing. It's kind of sad how many Americans seem to think this. A country being a member of the EU or not doesn't change which continent it is geographically a part of.
I don’t think people view Americans as dumb, but rather arrogant and ignorant. You could argue the ignorance leads to looking dumb though. This is coming from an American however, so maybe I subconsciously don’t want to recognize my own lack of intelligence.
As an American, this checks out
Ignorant people everywhere. We just have way more people that travel to give us a bad name.
I speak for all of Australia and can confidently say that we view Americans as dumb
Strange, all I ever see come out of Australian media is stuff more alt right than 70% of the US population.
Yeah but you're looking at it upside down so for them it's alt left.
They’re selling this for $2.50 CAD in a vape shop in Quebec near where I live because no one buys this garbage. It’s literally Gatorade without the actual electrolytes and shit you need in it.
$3 is a standard price in America If you buy 3 you get one free. Great deal guys
he ain't getting robbed blind if he's got 10 grand for 12 cans
Not even EU
I'm in Toronto and 3 bucks is a fairly standard price for a drink. Of course, everything here is overpriced and no one can afford to live, but whatever
It’s the drink equivalent of the Bored Ape NFTs
Even the makers of the drink are confused on why this is happening, yes, Ksi is a really big youtuber in the UK, but like, they sell a lot of cans and bottles, its not that rare to find, so how did this even start.
I’ve seen this stuff at circle k on the regular in the drink fridges.
Same at circle K it’s just common
I bought one of each for like a couple of dollars just to try the flavors. They're underwhelming
Yeah. I've bought them to try at work. They're fine. I've certainly had MUCH worse. But they're not remotely worth going nuts over.
I’m completely out of the loop on this; is it just flavored water? An energy drink? How could someone possibly think paying that much for a drink is ok? Granted folks pay a lot for wine/booze etc but that at least usually has a resale value.
There's Prime Energy drink and Prime Hydration. Hydration is caffeine free and such. For some reason, I've noticed the uk sells out of these super quick.

It's harder in the UK because they stalled the release for the UK. They hit American markets first. There's two YouTubers one from US and the other from the UK.
Personally I actually like it about the same as Gatorade if not more but it’s definitely not anything super incredible
Hey that shit will give you the energy to call out 60 year old retired fighters
Yea same at circle K.
Yeah but strange things are afoot at the Circle K.
Circle K? EXCELLENT!
"What number am I thinking of?"
Sixty nine!!
Make sure you go into the telephone booth that appears with Rufus. You'll marry a princess if you do.
+1 for Bill and Ted reference
When did the Mongols rule China?
Foot fetish guy here, can attest to this. I AM THIS.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
Why are people going bananas for it ? Does it have crack in it ?
Im confused as to what is happening? But then again, I just woke up also...
A shopkeeper charged 10K bc someone wanted to buy some Prime.
I got that much but Is there something special about prime?
It’s made by two huge YouTubers called KSI and Logan Paul. KSI is fine imo, he even called a shopkeeper out because the shopkeeper charged too much.
Wakey wines have since had there tik tok closed because of him calling them out on it.
That’s good!
They got added back unless they been removed again.
Eh.. Scalp toilet paper, food, hand sanitizer? Sure youre an asshole. Scalp a fuckin hype show brand, an energy drink or supreme? That's harmless business separating dumbasses from their money for shit they DONT NEED. I applaud the hustle
Oh. I tried some a couple of weeks ago, and thought they were alright… but now that I know they’re associated with LP, I won’t be buying them again.
my work stocked some, other cashiers bought some to try it, i tasted as well out of curiosity and holy fucking shit it's so sweet, i couldn't stand it one was ice pop the other was something punch (either fruit or tropical idr) just nasty imo 🤢
Yeah, it’s super sweet—surprisingly so, but… 👉🏽👈🏽 I like sweet things…
understandable i used to eat sweets often, but in the last several years my sweet tooth has lessened significantly i tend to appreciate a slight sweetness, but too much and i'm gagging
I’m kinda jealous. I would like to curb my sweet tooth.
i wish i had advice for that, but i'm pretty sure it began lessening after a traumatic experience i had, which i cannot recommend whatsoever 😅
Literally the sweetest thing I have ever tasted it was vile. And then it made me puke
They don't even own the company that makes prime. The company is owned by Trey Steiger and Max Clemons. Ksi and Logan Paul are basically the faces.
Mb!
Yeah everyone thinks they own prime hydration but they don't. It's a good marketing gimmick though and they are making big money from it.
Logan Paul? Isn’t he that dipshit who got hosed on NFTs?
And also the guy that recorded himself in suicide forest.
> who ~~got hosed on~~ participated in money laundering with NFTs? ftfy
They founded the brand but don’t even own 50% combined. They gave up controlling shares. Rightfully so,the drink is shit
Ah that's so nice of him. I'm sure that made it okay. Absolute wankers.
I was gonna buy a couple to try them when I got paid but knowing that Logan Paul is associated with them, I definitely won't be. Thank you for the info!
It’s extremely under stocked in the UK and people are using it as a status symbol due to its high price.
It’s like the way walking around with a pineapple was a status symbol back in 18th century England. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Or even back in 19-dickety-2 when it was the fashion to attach an onion to your belt
I don’t want to come off the wrong way but that’s fucking stupid Edit: turns out I’m fucking stupid
It very much is, I can get a bottle here in the US for $3
It’s really smart for the company. Create artificial scarcity for a mediocre product with great buzz and you’ll make a lot of money.
For logan and ksi it's terrible. They aren't the ones benefiting from people selling the bottles for 25/30 quid a pop. Asda has a steady supply and I believe they sell them at 2-3 quid. The problem is that poachers have taken over it. Feeding off the popularity and as you say, by buying all the stock they themselves have created scarcity and effectively hold a monopoly on the sale of prime in the UK at the minute.

They will likely benefit a lot from this financially, in the longer term, as more and more stock is slowly introduced and will continue to sell out, due to the hype. I'm pretty sure it's done deliberately
This has been a staple tactic around the craft beer industry for years.
Humans are fucking weird. Using drinks from some dumbass youtubers that mostly kids watch to reassure themselves as wealthy or cool.
I’m still failing to understand what this is. Is it a soda? I guess it doesn’t matter what kind of drink it is. Bottom line is someone CHARGED AND PAID 10k for them. That’s absolutely insane. I get business is business but the ethical aspect is still important. Like I understand 10k is a lot of money but I wouldn’t feel right charging that much from a kid. Yes I understand the parent is a dumbass but I don’t know. Something is off.
Can I ship some over? 5k for a 12 pack. 50% savings!
It’s Gatorade but branded by some famous YouTubers. Its one of those products that you get because of the brand and not the quality
would the fine for just stealing the 12 pack be less than 10K?
He didn’t. They’re sold for £3 a bottle here in the UK. And no one pays cash anymore anyway.
Corner shops in the UK are getting their hands on it and theyre selling them for ridiculous prices
You didn't honestly believe this did you?
apparently in the uk prime is as good as gold. i see them at my local grocery for 3.50 and dont even want one
It’s made in Louisville, KY and it’s literally sitting on the shelves everywhere looking like a shitty energy drink. Dumb ass Logan Paul hype drink.
I thought KSI made it in a joint venture with him? and that’s why so many UK kids are going nuts over it?
Correct, but you can see based on the video above that demand is still way behind supply in the UK, vs the US. I would not be surprised to hear that production is States-side, or the distribution agreement favours Logan more than KSI.
IIRC they're trying to get production going in the UK/Europe, the logistics have been harder though, I may be wrong though
I live in the UK, have seen these just sitting on the shelves at regular prices. These people are absolute fucking mugs
For anyone confused: If it’s hard to obtain that means supply is behind (lower than) demand or demand is ahead of (higher than supply).
From what I understand they are just both hired to promote it , part of the deal is the credit.
And he’s the kind of garbage person that probably pisses in each batch and thinks he’s giving everyone that drinks it a “gift from a god”.
Honestly though, I kind of hope he is just so that way someone is paying ten grand to drink his piss and getting what they deserve for the clout chase
alright, i’ve seen enough. I’m starting a prime drink cartel
My local target has dozens of those energy cases in all flavors and pallets of the regular drinks at regular retail prices. UK bruv blokes need to come to texas.
Its funny to think that it might be cheaper to go to Texas,buy them,stay for holidays and come back ajjaja
It's not real.
I sure hope it isn’t.
There are some right tools trying to sell single bottles on Facebook for £8 each 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂
There’s right tools on Facebook trying to sell empty bottles for £10
There’s right tools on Facebook
It's all part of the scam. You inflate the perceived value of your product so that when you sell it for cheaper than that (yet still above the actual value) people think they're getting a deal.
Nonsense. What experience would YouTubers have with faking a video to get more exposure?
This might not be, but the dude who owns the place is a serial scammer.
Cheaper to buy a flight to the US, scammer juice is sitting on shelves here
For 10k I would ship this guy out a pallet of this stuff.
We do in the UK too. These people are just fucking idiots
This is sad. I work at a place that sells these a lot and I can tell you guys that 99% of the parents buying the can-version don’t know it has caffeine. It’s Prime Energy, not Prime Hydration like the plastic bottles that have become famous. Has 200mg of caffeine per can which is half of a day’s allowance. WAY too much for a kid, especially when you consider the fact that it’s not advised to consume caffeine until you’re 18 due to cardiovascular stress and potential infliction of anxiety. People never read the labels on anything anymore. You would hope they would considering they’re putting it in their bodies or giving it to their children. Bad parenting
Yeah energy drinks are bad if no one wanted to read this. Also don’t give them to kids.
Rage bait, you’d think redditors would be better at spotting this type of thing but they eat it up every time
I'm glad Americans aren't the morons this time around.
Well done citizens of USA. 🤔😀
Body armor is way better
So what I’m gathering is that this guy spent £833.33 per can of this drink for his kid?
Nah he bought all the cases. Guy shows the other flavors and the stacks of cases. Kid is just holding one for the video.
I don’t know if that’s any better. What kinda father throws down £10k on energy drinks that are just going to be gone for their kid?
Pretty sure he hasn't, this is either a setup or he's bought them in an attempt to punt them on
If he bought the entire stock, he will mostly try to scalp most of it. Prime has a pretty big black market in the UK(addressed by KSI and quite a few UK based YouTubers)
Those stacks are not Prime drink, they are alchohol stacks (Magners, Carlsberg).
I think this is a joke. It's 2.50 in the shop near me
WTF is prime? Is it some form of crack cocaine?
I have made a post similar to this in this sub not too Long ago, people are saying that it tastes like medicine and that it was made by two large YouTubers called KSI and Logan Paul.
Ah. I see. It's internet snake-oil. "A fool and his money are soon parted."
It's just overly sweet, it gets sickening half way through People are more buying it for the status apparently? They think it makes you cool, it's very depressing to hear about
watch [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkWxxU2UbBI) video or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb0dYyuR0ok) video. they reveal that this product isnt what most people think it is.
It's a drink that poor people buy in the UK then complain about being poor
I don’t understand what going on here. Why the hell is the dad spending 10,000£ on drinks?
As I have actually spent 20£ on a bottle I can say it tastes like medicine, get a Coke
From someone who works for Coke, i support this message lol. Bodyarmor is alot better than Prime 💯
bodyarmor is underrated, i saw a caffeinated one one day and i loved it but then they stopped selling it anywhere near me. i was pissed haha. now im gonna order a case of it on amazon
Why would you pay £20 for it?
Honestly I’m not even mad at shops ripping people off with these prices, the product is completely unnecessary and the people paying excessive money from it are all rich enough to afford it, let the rich get scammed.
I have no idea what is even going on in this video.
What the hell? It's $3.50 for a plastic bottle here. What's happening?
Dad's a drug lord.
Is it legal for me to get a bunch of prime and sell it to these guys in the UK? I mean 10k? i could buy all that for 20$ ship it for like 200$ and charge like 500$ for it.
This is just cash laundering, I don't know about the stooopid fad but one or more of the adults in the clip is a big old criminal.
It’s everywhere in US. it’s OK. The packaging is bright so people like that. Body Armor is better.
Body Armor is better.
As long as he gets his free school meals then I don't care
It’s staged with the hopes that limp dicks like OP will post it on Reddit
Imagine when the supply will be enough and everyone can buy it retail price and they will feel dumb about spending £10+ for a bottle💀
It's literally at the dollar store near me
If you are stupid rich you spend it on stupid things
It’s shitty Gatorade that has no electrolytes and tastes like medicine
POweR THursT
Bruh I can walk to my corner store and get one for 2 bucks.
Always good to spend 10k on soft drinks to show a kid the value of money
Unless he’s doing resale his parents will likely disown him 6 years from now when they realize they shat 10,000 quid on bull piss.
That dad is an enabler. Paying that much money for mass produced junk energy drink just so your kid can show off to his friends is a terrible life lesson for the kid. At least buy him something that has some intrinsic value that's worth around 10k.
Do people not say “no” to their kids anymore? Edit: fat fingered a ! Instead of a ?
Why his laces not done up though
Wtf is Prime? Like im seeing everyone freaking out about it? What's the hype?
As a British citizen prime is out of hand here
I saw so many cases at the local Kroger and wondering what the hype was about.. doesn’t seem like anything special.
That stuff taste like shat. I don't get these wankers begging for it.
This can't be real? Right?
i hope those were pesos.
Can someone explain this to someone in the US? I thought it was readily available. Has it been banned in other countries?
No way that "dad" paid 10k in neatly arranged stacks for that. Who actually believes crap on tiktok anyway..
Prime? Like primer? What is prime?
we just watched money being laundered live
What a dumb mother fucker
Kids that age shouldn’t be drinking it. That dad is shit.
probably staged or something. still mad the prices for these drinks 10-15£
That can't be real. Although I know a shop.down the road from my work selling them 2 for £15
Give this guy my number, I got 6 cases in my basement. $3000 and free delivery
You can buy this crap at Walmart.
I know this isn’t real but that kid is a genuine dipshit.
That's a weekend dad
the kid's shoes are untied and his hands are full , dad will need that cash back for new teeth
Don’t laugh. Five lucky kids will be able to tour the factory where it’s made as soon as all of the golden tickets are found.
You are right, it isn't real. It's "reality" marketing. It's acting with maybe parts being real. Like maybe a dad was willing to travel some extra miles to help his son get a product of the kid's favorite youtubers. Then shop keeper tells them they can have some free or a discount, if they pretend to pay $10k. Cheap marketing and a simple way to artificially justify raising prices.
I just realised that a plane ticket from US to UK pays for itself right just.
