Absolute piss. My 8 year old bought some and I tried it. It’s like they tried to make it taste awful.
They only did this because they are sitting on a bunch of inventory they can’t sell, so they used it for marketing, check out LegalEagle on youtube he has a 20 minute video on the lawsuit they are facing, they agreed a contract to have a custom factory line built then backed off when sales plummeted
You mean tax deductions… More lucrative than just biting the loss.
It’s like sending candy.
These people lost everything. Maybe we should monetize a video about sending a truckload of bibles and coyote urine! We’re super awesome, y’all!
Well, they can’t sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
I couldn’t find where I saw/heard it, but I swear I saw a blurb about PRIME drinks containing polyfluoroalkyl, which is what allows jackets and tents to repel water…
I did however find a Consumer Reports article.
Eh, if someone comes up with such a comparison it immediately tells that they don’t know what they’re talking about. Like, linseed oil was also used for waterproofing (oilskin), yet it is quite healthy. Other applications/occurences of a substance simply don’t tell you anything about it being good or bad for you.
Well, PFAs are definitely not good for you.
I’d believe that. I tried Prime once and it tastes like the fumes from spray paint.
Gooooddddammit, I actually didn’t mind the PRIME electrolyte powder for when I’m sweating like mad (brought it to Burning Man this year), but Logan goddamn Paul owns it? Fuck I hate that guy
Oh, is that what this is? Here I was thinking they “shipped Amazon Prime” to people and thought “well that’s bad grammar but… what did they actually ship using Prime?”
And yeah, fuck that guy.
FYI they advertise it as “electrolytes” because it’s full of potassium and has next to no sodium, which is the main thing you lose when sweating, and they do that to say it’s sodium free while still having “electrolytes”
Right, Gatorade, a long standing “sports drink” has 12% of your DV of sodium or something for the reason you stated. Fuck logan paul and fuck his “get the kids to get their parents to buy this” garbage
It’s a win win they can fulfill their contractual minimum orders, that they failed to reach last months and can write these off. Win-Win situation.
Isn’t prime caffeinated? That’s dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water…
I don’t think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.
The cans have caffeine. The bottles don’t. Pic looks like the bottles.
Still tons of sugar though.
Actually not sugar, these are full of sweeteners and very little sugar, lots of potassium, little sodium, it’s a great way to create some electrolyte imbalance
Ok fine, but it’s cloyingly sweet. Try Meta Moon hydration and tell me it’s not way too sweet.
I heard that it’s sweet as fuck, but I am not giving a single dime to that motherfucker Logan “film dead bodies for clout” Paul, he can go fuck himself
I don’t think it is, it’s supposed to keep you hydrated, all it is is water with a shit load of sweeteners and flavouring (and allegedly lead)
There’s a caffeinated version of it and a ‘electrolyte’ version, afaik
A good, it’s got what plants crave
I was just making that joke
You sure you’re not the smartest guy in the world?
They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks
These people have suffered enough.
And it was a publicity stunt, it wasn’t for the peoole, let’s be real.
Prime’s got what plants crave - it’s got electrolytes
True, but it’s clearly no Powerthirst.
Mother nature will be like ‘sloooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwn’, and you’ll say “FUCK YOU” and kick her in the face with your
ENERGY LEGS
Came to comments for this line specifically.
Wtf is prime?
sugar water sold by Youtubers
Zoomer Gatorade.
Zoomers: “don’t put this evil on me. Blame the alphas”
Alphas: “I didn’t ask for this shit”Owned by millennials, marketed to zoomers, primarily consumed by gen alpha.
With extra sugar
It only has 20 calories. I’m all for hating on Prime, but it’s not heavy in sugar at all. Definitely fake sugars. And heavy on caffeine.
A signal the person consuming it is prepared to be sold whatever you are offering.
cancer
It’s some kind of energy drink
It isn’t an energy drink, because it doesn’t have caffeineor sugar. The producer calls it a “hydration drink” which I suppose is somehow different from a “drink”.
Oh… why would that be handy when water and actual food is going to be useful/needed?
1: the guys making it have a minimum purchase every month.
2: they keep selling less than that, costing them money.
3: charitable gifts are tax deductible
I don’t think they have issues with selling enough. This shit is huge among children.
Pfffft, Prime is SO 2023: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteoric-rise-stunning-fall-prime-130900275.html
It wouldn’t, but the energy drink version isn’t what’s in the picture anyways; it’s basically Gatorade but sweeter
A truck loaded with water bottles is more useful than Prime bottles, think it a little, for medial reasons some people can’t drink hyper sugar shit.
Really, no one should be drinking high sugar drinks. Even stuff like juice should be a once in a while thing. I’m as guilty of it as almost everyone else, I admit. Hard to break that sugar addiction.
I get the lemonade version sometimes and it only has a couple of grams of sugar, iirc. I like it for hikes and things like that. Usually I’ll get the powder packs and put some in my water bottle.
DripDrop powder packs are a possible alternative if you don’t want to support Logan Paul. They have a variety pack. I used them to keep hydrated during colonoscopy prep, lol.
Can also recomment “Sqwincher” (stupid name aside) products.
https://www.sqwincher.com/products/single-serve-qwik-stik-zero/
As they market primarily to people working in construction / other trades - and are therefore sold at the likes of electrical and safety supply stores - we buy them in bulk for when we’re spending weeks installing racks of servers in our datacentre at work.
The sweetness would make life bitter
Who is Logan Paul?
Guess it’s some YouTube influencer.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if there were some sort of fully-indexed global network of computers full of information where you could do something like type the words “Logan Paul” into a text box and instantly get an answer about who that person is?
Alas…
Fair enough. ')
