You touched on the lawsuit but missed the part where Bang lost to Monster so hard that Bang needed a buyer to come in and bail them out of the massive fines they were being handed. Who came in and bought them out? Monster Energy. Monster sued them so hard they now own them. Slapped em in the face and said "Now call me Daddy"
@Djidgy No. they sent many frivolous lawsuit threats to anything that had "monster" in the title. From massive game franchises like Monster Hunter to smaller indie games like Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals. You can google it. They basically trademarked the word "monster" and are throwing around lawsuits everywhere that has that word even remotely somewhere in its title.
That's bc he's used like the media outlets are and pushes agendas he's paid to promote. He's a sellout he'll say or do anything if you pay him enough and it's obvious by all the controversies he's been in. Genuinely disgusts me that man has actual fans that believe his garbage and the fact he came back from the forest incident at all is insane. (Really shows what's important to TH-cam as well since I'm sure Logan makes them a lot of money can't possibly ban someone that's popular can they? ) Slap on the wrist is all he ever gets for anything wrong he does, he's never sorry, he never repays his fans for scamming them (repeatedly btw), and is somehow still popular after the whole cryptozoo nonsense where he literally scammed people out of thousands of dollars and made millions. (idc if he specifically didn't profit from it, though we all know he did in some way or another, he still made millions for his criminal buddies)
@@zgama6511 I get that, but the crypto stuff should have had him prosecuted by the security and exchange commissions. Yeah there’s having friends. But he broke federal law, and likely has been sued a couple times surrounding said violations
The funniest moment in regards to "Prime" that comes to mind is how a lot of shelves in the nearby store to me were completely empty, but the shelf with prime was completely full.
When it first came out it was flying off the shelves, but now in almost every store the shelf is untouched. I can't imagine their sales are what they were at the beginning of the year, or even close to be honest. I actually quite like their blue raspberry energy drink, but I also just have a caffeine addiction and its the only high-caffeine blue raspberry energy drink that isn't $5 a can.
I work in retail. When i sell prime to an adult, I usually comment, "Im surprised how much they've sold when the influencer behind this is a known scammer," and they almost always express surprise.
because kids dont care and kids arent the once who got scammed. than theres the obvious loophole that influencers can take advantage of to market a product that a company cannot. which is is why mostly legislation around europe has taken this problem whilse the US havent, likely will never.
I love how your dog flips out Everytime you get a bit rowdy 🤣! AND the fact that she sleeps on a cat "jungle gym" thinga-ma-jig" makes it even funnier.
Fun fact: sodium and potassium oppose each other in the body, so not only does the ratio of potassium-sodium make no sense, but having significantly more potassium means your body will excrete more sodium so this can actually be potentially dangerous if used in high doses and/or chronically
as a Canadian I'm surprised Health Canada allowed Prime (wannabe) Hydration but they did ban the energy drink version which Paul saying they don't sell here yet found at almost every corner store in Canada
I would not be at all surprised if word got back to the company ages ago that distributors were selling it into Canada and chose to turn a blind eye to it. I mean, to do so would have basically no downside - they won't be held accountable unless it can be proved they knew they were selling it to distributors who were flooding the Canadian market with it. There's no doubt in my mind that they knew and chose to do nothing about it. It makes me wonder how many other banned products could be skirting the rules in this way if the demand was high enough. 4Loko comes to mind as one such product that fortunately does fall in a product category (alcoholic beverages) that attracts a lot of government regulation and control. But if we had any less of a regulated alcohol market, I have no doubt we'd see exactly the same thing as with Prime Energy.
@@xxdesertstorm the store owners are probably just trying to get rid of them and get whatever money back they can until they're told to take them off shelves. i'm not saying its okay, but business is expensive and i imagine so are boxes of energy drinks =S edit nevermind, i wrote this before i saw the wakeywines part. proof they arent all in it for returns =[
I love how one of their selling points is less sugar and fewer calories than gatorade... in a sports recovery drink. Anyone who has ever worked themselves to physical exhaustion knows how amazing it feels to slam an ice cold drink that delivers fast, sugary calories.
Would be curious to know what part of recovery drink are really consumed after high intensity activity. In my eyes, it is more the marketing narrative and the regular consumer drinks it as water/juice/soda.
(Edit: I should have finished the video lol) Prime is terrible for rehydration. It has all of the electrolytes in the exact opposite order that you need them where sodium should be the most it's the least and potassium is 700mg of the 800mg of electrolytes.
Yes the "sugar water" for children geared towards adults seems to be taking off. As for me I tried it once and never again will I waste my money on an energy drink that is just kool-aid with a sprinkle of caffeine.
Glad you plugged dereks videos. He does an amazing job of dismantling products like this and explaining the science and efficacy. Definitely deserves the credit.
Prime hydration is dangerous, it has zero sodium which is required in a ‘hydration’ drink and I believe it also has about 700mg of potassium, that’s a pretty dangerous dose especially for a 12 year old.
I volunteer with kids with additional support needs and the kids that were more independent and had more subtle things going on (such as autism) were absolutely addicted to this stuff. Now I’m talking 8 year olds here. There was a 11 year old boy in particular who was drinking it, it was very clear that he idolised Logan Paul and that’s the only reason he drank the stuff. This wasn’t the normal volunteering I do in a school, this was a summer holiday thing where the kids would go 9-5 when their parents were working so they were allowed to bring their own drinks in. In the UK prime is extremely expensive because there’s so little of the stuff that it’s resold like Pokémon cards, so these kids were really putting a dent in their parents wallet.
Surprised how Amazon hasn’t taken them to court because of the Prime name. You know how pathetic companies can be with the Slightest comparison to their brands
Branding trademarks work by market - if LP's product was something like an online subscription or a shipping service, that would be a potential trademark infringement, but since beverages are a completely unassociated market from the market served by Amazon Prime there's no infringement

It's such a great contrast to have you talk about this because you actually started your own brand and candy and it truly feels homemade. strawberry sour boys 4 life
his sheep are children, they do not have critical thinking skills. this is marketing 101. Trump did the same thing. Its interesting how people can become so blind when fed obvious BS
Logan's statement was a sneaky way of saying, "I created the label and ksi picked flavors. it took about 20 minutes, and we got to make videos saying we created the company "😂😂
The fact that Logan said, when comparing the Gatorade and Prime components, that the Gatorade bottle was bigger and contained less electrolytes. My guy didn't take into consideration how skinny and tall the bottle was compared to the Prime bottle (which is pretty much the same size as a normal Gatorade bottle).
Aspartame is a pretty decent artificial sweetener as long as it's not heated. It's converted into two amino acids that make up our proteins: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Yes, it does break down into a bit of toxic methanol, but as long as you don't heat it beforehand, you'll be getting like, less methanol than an apple per diet soda.
I think more people should watch the food theory about prime energy cause it basically explains how prime doesn’t actually give you the electrolytes that you lose when you sweat. You mainly lose sodium, with a little bit of other stuff including potassium lost. Most energy/sports drinks reflect that, with the highest mineral count being sodium. In prime, the highest mineral count is potassium, which you don’t need much of, and very little sodium, which is how they get away with using less sugar while maintaining a sweet flavour. So basically it doesn’t actually do much as a sports drink, and you only “need” it if you are very low on potassium somehow, but I’d say just eat a banana or drink a banana smoothie if that’s the case.
I have POTS syndrome (a condition that makes you lightheaded & dizzy) & one of the things I need to combat that is electrolytes, especially sodium. PRIME does absolutely *nothing* for me while most sports drinks actually help my dizzy spells. It's insane how low their sodium levels are
Old head here, to let you know that Marky Mark was in The Funky Bunch and Donnie was in NKOTB. Having younger cousins that loved them, I couldn’t escape but know these things. Either that or I’m not willing to admit my closeted fan boy shame
I actually feel complimented that you considered 22 and up to 24 as young young. too much of the world be getting to me these days, nice to hear that rn for some reason.
in my country 1 bottle costs 10$ and the only ppl i see walking around with prime is children who spent their whole weekly allowance to buy 1 mediocre drink
I work in a Tesco express and we have to minimise prime purchases to 3 per person, so we regularly get parents coming in, buying 3 primes, then daughter, then the son. One after the other to get as much as they can in bulk. We find out after usually from seeing them congregate together at the door or outside. We have cages dedicated to lots of different shop products, prime takes up a whole half of a cage on delivery sometimes a full cage depending on promo change.
i love how oompa shills his candy every video, and then when I try to buy some his website is constantly sold out. I must CONSUME Oompa! Get back on the production line buddy! lol
I know! I really want to try this candy. Never bothered caring for a youtuber's brand, but seeing the story and knowing that its a business made personally by him, his friends, and family, its something I can see actually purchasing.
@@myliza700he restocked the end of October I think so his viewers had days to order it lol On kallmekriss podcast he talks about the flavors he’ll soon be coming out with and it’s a lot
for that amount of money I could buy about 2-4 bottles of the red label Dare intense iced coffees, which pretty much has the same amount of caffeine in it compared to those prime cans but it tastes significantly better IMO (I love bittersweet, soursweet is just awful)
You know, it's funny to me when a company sells a product that says it's a rehydration drink without sugar. The point of having sugar is that sugar is absorbed higher up in the intestines, as opposed to water (lower intestines). So when you have sugar with it, to correct the osmolar weight, water comes with it. THAT'S WHY THE DRINKS ARE SO EFFECTIVE. The electrolytes are a bonus (replace the electrolytes you've lost), but the reason why a rehydration drink works faster than regular water is because of the sugar. Drinking a low sugar "rehydration drink" is just a waste of money
One of the highlights of my morning routine is stopping for a drink at my local gas station and noticing how the shelf full of Prime hasn’t ever budged. I’m convinced no one’s even touched a bottle over the months they’ve been on display.
I’ve never actually taken in how smart Caleb actually is he is hilarious he makes me laugh so much I see why Kris loves him I also love Kris I’ve been watching her a lot longer than oompavillie but I love them both and them together makes me laugh even harder❤
For what? His fan base give him money even that they know there is risk , I bet you didn't get scam by him your just hater . I don't support him but wishing for someone's fall is just sad life bud .
I have an 8 year old grandson who is completely obsessed with Prime and TH-cam . He had us hunting down rare flavors. He even sings “we got prime boys , we got prime “. Brilliant marketing strategy .
The saddest part about this is that Prime is going to be one of those trends that will “define” a generation but that definition is basically how gullible and forgetful they are when it comes to internet celebrities.
So you know- if caffeine makes you tired, dizzy, or feel sick, it could be because you have ADHD. People with ADHD have a reaction to caffeine that is opposite to what you would think it normally does, causing you to feel other symptoms. If you take medication that could also affect the way you intake caffeine. (Or at least I have ADHD and it makes me tired.)
Their existance has gotten us closer to that already, the drink is just another way of them profiting of their fanbase/idiots/retards (whatever you wanna call them).🤷♂
in my country 1 bottle costs 10$ and the only ppl i see walking around with prime is children who spent their whole weekly allowance to buy 1 mediocre drink
Thank you for highlighting a bunch of unknown or unnoticed facts, examples like how efficaciously under dosed products are, and how caffeine doesn’t “give” you energy. Also warms my heart to see you shout out @moreplatesmoredates ❤️
I said the same thing! Haha! He was in the band for like a few months and before they even became NKOTB. He was with his Funky Bunch 😂 Mark's older brother, Donnie, was very much so, in the band.
About 2-3 months ago prime came to the Woolworths (Australia) near me and you couldn’t get any after 30 minutes of them being on the shelf. About a month or two after they now all sit on the shelves. The only one I’ve seen even nearly out of stock was that new white/grey one I think it had moon something on it. But within a week they had permanent full stock. It’s garbage water.
I tried them when 711 got them, ready to hate them. Didn't like the hydration ones, didn't hate them either, but I think the caffeine ones taste better than anything else available here, and I still buy them. Recommended them to my workmates who have no idea who Logan Paul is, and now they all regularly buy them too.
It honestly should , energy drinks are for sports for things u need energy little kids have enough energy you might aswell just make them drink coffee it’s basically the same
No.. it isn't.. Powerade is owned by Coca-Cola... It also doesn't taste like Baja Blast as that's a Lime flavored soda.. While Blue Powerade is a berry flavored drink.. I'm not sure why you'd think this..@@adamlannerd1408
Huh, I wondered why I hadn't seen Prime here in NZ, despite how much hype it gets overseas. Makes sense that it would be banned here. A few years back, the NZ government put an age restriction on most energy drinks, due to the amount of caffeine and other harmful chemicals in them, even in our own local brands of energy drinks. I think it's like 16 or 18+ or something, from memory.
Bang was started nearish to me, and they sent a lifted Bang hummer with two models in bang yoga pants to papa John’s while I was working. They asked me how many people were working tonight and I told them 8, they pulled 8 cans out of a giant duffle bag and said enjoy. A few months later as I was trying to convince an employee it happened, one pulled up AGAIN. This time I told them 30
@oompaville something that a lot of non medical sources seem to miss, is that you NEED sugar to absorb sodium and potassium. They are coupled with glucose transporters in your stomach and duodenum, which is why true Oral Rehydration Solutions have sugar.
15:05 he's comparing different sized bottles which are ofc going to be different idk how anyone thought he was smart, not even comparing the same size of, I think matpat did a food theory on it comparing it with other things at the same size i think, it's been a while if so
The founder of a company is not the group with the highest percentage of ownership but instead the person/group of people who came up with the idea and who were responsible for the company or brand and were responsible for getting the product on shelfs even if it is through a different company
I need Frankie in the videos. It's just not the same without her. She should get the biggest stuffed animal and treat bag for Christmas. As Frankie would say, "I'm the talent! They come to see me yell at you" :)
Im always told how popular prime is but every time I see it in store, the shelf is stuffed to bursting and looks like it hasnt been touched. Also love the guy who professes to own a product telling me it's delicious, sure bro I totally believe you aren't just going to lie about your own thing to sell it more. lol That thing with him seemingly not wanting to stop shilling his product at an event his brother runs that is sponsored by an opposing company just seems....really awful. Like even if that is just some kind of created situation it still just makes them look bad.
I commented basically the same thing about the product’s popularity… I’ve seen the occasional bottle in people’s carts or in recycle bins, but there never seems to be a shortage of it in the grocery store shelves. Kinda sounds more like people are just trying to capitalize on eBay because you can’t get it everywhere and some people are dumb enough to buy it at crazy prices because they can’t find it near them.
I was at my buddies house and his little brother drinks them, the kid was raving about it and telling me I had to try it. I took one sip and about puked. I wasn’t expecting it to feel like I was drinking used coolant with sand in it. Hands down the worst drink I’ve ever had.
I remember going into Five Below with my family and my little sister bought Prime for all of us to try. We all tried it. And we all equally agreed that it was way too sweet and my dad saying that he could “almost taste all of the chemicals” in it.
Gordan Ramsey describing prime as like swallowing perfume is the most accurate description I've heard.
I finally found the most fitting description to what i tasted, never again, it was mostly just disappointing
It really does taste like drinking poison

The fact that Logan thinks we can just take his word for it, speaks volumes.
his sheep are children, they do not have critical thinking skills. this is marketing 101. Trump did the same thing. Its interesting how people can become so blind when fed obvious BS

Logan's statement was a sneaky way of saying, "I created the label and ksi picked flavors. it took about 20 minutes, and we got to make videos saying we created the company "😂😂
The fact that Logan said, when comparing the Gatorade and Prime components, that the Gatorade bottle was bigger and contained less electrolytes. My guy didn't take into consideration how skinny and tall the bottle was compared to the Prime bottle (which is pretty much the same size as a normal Gatorade bottle).
what is funny in that is he missed the B6 and B12 levels as those are way higher than Gatorade as those levels are considered energy drink levels
It's funny. Thy compare drink made with research (gatorade) to some drink made by 3rd party manufacturer...
Aspartame is a pretty decent artificial sweetener as long as it's not heated. It's converted into two amino acids that make up our proteins: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Yes, it does break down into a bit of toxic methanol, but as long as you don't heat it beforehand, you'll be getting like, less methanol than an apple per diet soda.
I think more people should watch the food theory about prime energy cause it basically explains how prime doesn’t actually give you the electrolytes that you lose when you sweat. You mainly lose sodium, with a little bit of other stuff including potassium lost. Most energy/sports drinks reflect that, with the highest mineral count being sodium. In prime, the highest mineral count is potassium, which you don’t need much of, and very little sodium, which is how they get away with using less sugar while maintaining a sweet flavour. So basically it doesn’t actually do much as a sports drink, and you only “need” it if you are very low on potassium somehow, but I’d say just eat a banana or drink a banana smoothie if that’s the case.
Yes 🗿
I love how you said exactly what was already in the video 😂
@@bichitenshi6696 for those that will not watch the video but are curious as to what’s in it I suppose
I have POTS syndrome (a condition that makes you lightheaded & dizzy) & one of the things I need to combat that is electrolytes, especially sodium. PRIME does absolutely *nothing* for me while most sports drinks actually help my dizzy spells. It's insane how low their sodium levels are
Old head here, to let you know that Marky Mark was in The Funky Bunch and Donnie was in NKOTB. Having younger cousins that loved them, I couldn’t escape but know these things. Either that or I’m not willing to admit my closeted fan boy shame

@@beastynado Prime is Opaque
I'd be drinking protein powder. Ahhh, refreshing.
I work in a Tesco express and we have to minimise prime purchases to 3 per person, so we regularly get parents coming in, buying 3 primes, then daughter, then the son.
One after the other to get as much as they can in bulk.
We find out after usually from seeing them congregate together at the door or outside.
We have cages dedicated to lots of different shop products, prime takes up a whole half of a cage on delivery sometimes a full cage depending on promo change.
Single mommies have ruined this country.
Really?? Still?? My Tesco isn’t selling it at all (as in, they stock it, but it doesn’t sell) and it’s always in stock in my work shop.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 right, keep dreaming as this is fake and misleading AF
Prime is so unwanted that it needed to be heavily discounted here in Finland, up to -80%, they can't even give them away. They're all atrocious.
i love how oompa shills his candy every video, and then when I try to buy some his website is constantly sold out. I must CONSUME Oompa! Get back on the production line buddy! lol

In Australia these are $8 to $10 at supermarkets for a 500ml drink, that's _insanely_ expensive
In the UK we had bottles at 15 pounds. Currently they go from 4 to 8 pounds compared to a 1 pound 40 monster.
@@lezthestick i dont pay 180 sek for a energy drink.. maybe if oompa sell one but only in that situation.
for that amount of money I could buy about 2-4 bottles of the red label Dare intense iced coffees, which pretty much has the same amount of caffeine in it compared to those prime cans but it tastes significantly better IMO (I love bittersweet, soursweet is just awful)
That's a lie it is £2-3 in every major UK retailer so you straight up lied
@cashcorleone3311 you do realise it can vary between each city and town aswell as country right
I love how Frankie just sits on a cat tower❤
It amazes me how a product can so bad, useless, and generic but if it's hyped by the right people, it's golden. sad but true
You know, it's funny to me when a company sells a product that says it's a rehydration drink without sugar. The point of having sugar is that sugar is absorbed higher up in the intestines, as opposed to water (lower intestines).
So when you have sugar with it, to correct the osmolar weight, water comes with it. THAT'S WHY THE DRINKS ARE SO EFFECTIVE. The electrolytes are a bonus (replace the electrolytes you've lost), but the reason why a rehydration drink works faster than regular water is because of the sugar. Drinking a low sugar "rehydration drink" is just a waste of money
What's crazy is that yesterday I wondered the origin of the name "Gatorade", and here I am learning it in an oompaville video.
frankie only barks because she wants to be part of the video, she just wants to tell us her opinions ❤
then he yells at her and it’s disgusting. if he does that with the camera on just imagine what he does with it off…
One of the highlights of my morning routine is stopping for a drink at my local gas station and noticing how the shelf full of Prime hasn’t ever budged. I’m convinced no one’s even touched a bottle over the months they’ve been on display.
I’ve never actually taken in how smart Caleb actually is he is hilarious he makes me laugh so much I see why Kris loves him I also love Kris I’ve been watching her a lot longer than oompavillie but I love them both and them together makes me laugh even harder❤
Didn’t realize redbull and monster are sports drinks 😂
Honestly the food commission is a joke lol I’m gonna add vitamins to tea and call it a sports drink too 😂
Oompa looks completely different without the beard. But yet, familiar. Very odd
Logan seriously needs some prison time 💀
Unfortunately people with money usually don't do prison time. Especially when it comes to scamming people. 🙄
He probably bribe the officers with Prime tho

For what? His fan base give him money even that they know there is risk , I bet you didn't get scam by him your just hater . I don't support him but wishing for someone's fall is just sad life bud .

Petition for Tara to put red eyes and a villain sound on Frankie every time he barks. 🖐 😂
I have an 8 year old grandson who is completely obsessed with Prime and TH-cam . He had us hunting down rare flavors. He even sings “we got prime boys , we got prime “. Brilliant marketing strategy .
The saddest part about this is that Prime is going to be one of those trends that will “define” a generation but that definition is basically how gullible and forgetful they are when it comes to internet celebrities.
And no one can think for themselves anymore.
This entire era of humanity will be looked back on with shame and disgust on how petty a d pathetic were behaving as a society
@@BrandonDenny-we1rwEvery older generation say that about the younger generations
Logan doesn't know what plants crave. BRAWNDO - The THIRST MUTILATOR: It's got electrolytes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤧🤣🤣🤣🤣
So you know- if caffeine makes you tired, dizzy, or feel sick, it could be because you have ADHD. People with ADHD have a reaction to caffeine that is opposite to what you would think it normally does, causing you to feel other symptoms. If you take medication that could also affect the way you intake caffeine. (Or at least I have ADHD and it makes me tired.)
Another step towards Idiocracy thanks to those two.
ITS GOT ELECTROLYTES :D
How long until we started watering our crops with Prime?
Prime’s got what plants crave
Their existance has gotten us closer to that already, the drink is just another way of them profiting of their fanbase/idiots/retards (whatever you wanna call them).🤷♂
Haters gonna hate, i don't drink it, but I'm not hating on it for no reason. Business is business and they're making money
I work at a grocery store and the main buyers of prime is young kids who’s parents are buying it for them.
And your point is? Kids also get their parents to buy them soda as well

How did this man say he mixes blue powerade with Dr pepper and just move on with his life like nothing happened?
Who's gonna tell Oompa Marky Mark wasn't in the New Kids on the Block
I said the same thing! Haha! He was in the band for like a few months and before they even became NKOTB. He was with his Funky Bunch 😂 Mark's older brother, Donnie, was very much so, in the band.
About 2-3 months ago prime came to the Woolworths (Australia) near me and you couldn’t get any after 30 minutes of them being on the shelf. About a month or two after they now all sit on the shelves. The only one I’ve seen even nearly out of stock was that new white/grey one I think it had moon something on it. But within a week they had permanent full stock. It’s garbage water.
I tried them when 711 got them, ready to hate them. Didn't like the hydration ones, didn't hate them either, but I think the caffeine ones taste better than anything else available here, and I still buy them. Recommended them to my workmates who have no idea who Logan Paul is, and now they all regularly buy them too.
That's awesome, prime is something I've never tried and wouldn't even try out of curiosity
Shouldn’t it be illegal to advertise energy drinks to children
It honestly should , energy drinks are for sports for things u need energy little kids have enough energy you might aswell just make them drink coffee it’s basically the same

He probably ment sprite lol cause ive mixed it with sprite at whataburger, but never Dr.Pepper.
Blue Powerade and Mountain Dew is Baja Blast if you didn't know.
No.. it isn't.. Powerade is owned by Coca-Cola... It also doesn't taste like Baja Blast as that's a Lime flavored soda.. While Blue Powerade is a berry flavored drink.. I'm not sure why you'd think this..@@adamlannerd1408

Huh, I wondered why I hadn't seen Prime here in NZ, despite how much hype it gets overseas. Makes sense that it would be banned here. A few years back, the NZ government put an age restriction on most energy drinks, due to the amount of caffeine and other harmful chemicals in them, even in our own local brands of energy drinks. I think it's like 16 or 18+ or something, from memory.
New Zealand is a goated country, love from Iraq where prime is non existent thankfully.
Only prime energy (the cans) is banned (twice the legal caffeine limit)
they in countdown now lol
Yeah you can buy them in NZ… FOR $18
Bang was started nearish to me, and they sent a lifted Bang hummer with two models in bang yoga pants to papa John’s while I was working. They asked me how many people were working tonight and I told them 8, they pulled 8 cans out of a giant duffle bag and said enjoy.
A few months later as I was trying to convince an employee it happened, one pulled up AGAIN.
This time I told them 30
@oompaville something that a lot of non medical sources seem to miss, is that you NEED sugar to absorb sodium and potassium. They are coupled with glucose transporters in your stomach and duodenum, which is why true Oral Rehydration Solutions have sugar.
Prime, it's what scammers crave. 😂
Because it has electrolytes.
in the very wrong doses tho a fck ton of pottasium without sodium is actually worse for hydrating :p it will dehydrate you even further@@Drewggles

The flex and plug of SourBoys was clean. Almost as clean as his upper lip.
my nephew (10) tried prime for the first time last month and had stomach problems for a week straight the day after
The founder of a company is not the group with the highest percentage of ownership but instead the person/group of people who came up with the idea and who were responsible for the company or brand and were responsible for getting the product on shelfs even if it is through a different company
I need Frankie in the videos. It's just not the same without her. She should get the biggest stuffed animal and treat bag for Christmas. As Frankie would say, "I'm the talent! They come to see me yell at you" :)
Im always told how popular prime is but every time I see it in store, the shelf is stuffed to bursting and looks like it hasnt been touched.
Also love the guy who professes to own a product telling me it's delicious, sure bro I totally believe you aren't just going to lie about your own thing to sell it more. lol
That thing with him seemingly not wanting to stop shilling his product at an event his brother runs that is sponsored by an opposing company just seems....really awful. Like even if that is just some kind of created situation it still just makes them look bad.
I commented basically the same thing about the product’s popularity… I’ve seen the occasional bottle in people’s carts or in recycle bins, but there never seems to be a shortage of it in the grocery store shelves. Kinda sounds more like people are just trying to capitalize on eBay because you can’t get it everywhere and some people are dumb enough to buy it at crazy prices because they can’t find it near them.
Or the hype has died down after over a year? Are you guys simple

I was at my buddies house and his little brother drinks them, the kid was raving about it and telling me I had to try it. I took one sip and about puked. I wasn’t expecting it to feel like I was drinking used coolant with sand in it. Hands down the worst drink I’ve ever had.
