I broke down and bought a pack of Prime to try recently after seeing it everywhere, even in the hands of people I don’t associate with the whole Logan Paul circus.
It tasted like piss and chemicals. If you’re at all sensitive to the taste of sucralose, it’s like drinking battery acid. I simply cannot fathom how it is as successful as it is.
edit: typo
I would rather drown myself than drinking that cat piss.
Also they don’t even do it out of charity. Prime, being as dogshit as it is, is selling terribly. So they are giving it away instead of having to spend money getting rid of it. Would not expect nothing else from scammer logan and soulless KSI
How did I not know these jackasses made Prime? Makes me feel guilty for the two I gagged down a year ago.
Absolute piss. My 8 year old bought some and I tried it. It’s like they tried to make it taste awful.
Great, so anyone allergic or sensitive to coconut water is fucked. Great job Mr. Influencer. If you can’t do aid right, don’t get in the way of the professionals.
Anyone who is allergic to coconut has my sincere pity, because coconut might be my favorite of all flavors.
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.
Not sure how the Us tax system works, but I am guessing storing inventory is also not free
It’s like sending candy.
Not true. I actually like 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.
There’s HYDROGEN in the WATER, the stuff that BURNED in the HINDENBURG and they want you to DRINK IT?!?
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.
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.
They’d get the same tax deduction by disposing of the drinks.
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
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
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
