Yeah in Michigan I can tell you, nobody gives a shit. Even all the party stores/gas stations within a mile of 2 giant elmentary schools and one highschool, they're always stocked
Nobody wants it now, because it's available now.

C'mon dude Trust me I can trim any armor, just give me the armor set and 1mil Here, you can have my white sword that you can only get when you are a member so it's really expensive
Id only be upset if it was a disaster and instead of prime it was water they were charging 100$ for then id be upset. If there willing to pay 100$ for a bottle of prime just to look cool thats on them for being that desperate.
@@jujuonthatqueef5043 Especially if you're a child. My brother on christ you could buy some video games or Pokemon cards and you choose a freaking drink.
@Cross_Sans.X 2.49 before tax 2.79 for cans. Cheaper than Gatorade but more expensive than Bodyarmor and Powerade. Powerade beats both at size and pricing, 828mL compared to Prime's 500mL and Bodyarmor's 473.
The first Starbucks in Norway was at an airport outside of the capital, about 20-ish minutes by train each way. Kids (teens) would make the trip early in the morning so they could show up with a starbucks drink at school, it would easily take more than an hour in total for a drink that would be ruined by the time they made it to school. There were plenty of much better coffee shops in the city, and when Starbucks opened everywhere it lost it's status and is nowhere near as popular. This reminds me of that, just way crazier.
I remember someone I know in my area of mine, drove from the tail-end of the South of Norway. Just so he could pose with a Bislett Kebab in Oslo. They drove for about 7 hours one way, just to eat a kebab and have the picture with it. 😂😂😂
That's crazy to think about, they're from Seattle and they've been closing down locations there constantly for over a decade, because not enough people want to keep buying bad, overpriced coffee over the long term, and tons of higher quality businesses exist.
IDK, if you factor in inflation I remember kids paying upwards of $600 for jeans when I was in school. And I was in a poor area of town. Fads are always around.
@Bunjee True but also compare to over $1000 wines. I'm not saying either of these things are exact matches to this but fads will be fads. If it was 1990 and some popular rock star released a similar drink we could easily have this same situation. I just don't think that social media is the entire story here.
As a former kid (19) who grew up around social media I assure you that younger generations are probably (emphasis on probably) gonna grow out of this dumb shit.
A workmate of mine bought a whole box of Prime and posted a video on twitter of him taking a sip, spitting it out, then proceeding to pour the whole lot down the drain 😂 The backlash from kids was insane, like they think this stuff is holy life giving liquid, it's just FEKKIN SUGAR YOU SAD LITTLE CABBAGES. They sent him death threats and threatened to gRape his wife and daughters, it absolutely blew my mind that they would react like this over a shitty drink.
It’s been pretty funny seeing kids in my town centre paying £10 for a bottle from a shady corner shop, but in seriousness the fact people are convincing theirselves that it’s worth it is embarassing.
Yep this is the side of humanity that makes me hate people in general. Even if you are a kid and buy into this crap I can see a future dumbass adult in the making so I'm not even gonna make excuses for the kids either... Some kids are just soooooooooo dumb. All kids are dumb and kinda oblivious in one way or the other but then there are some of them that are legit DUMB. Hopefully their parents realize they need to fucking be better rolemodels to their kids cuz they have failed them! Having Logan Paul as rolemodel = failed as a parent. Having your kid buy crap at overcharged price just because it's Logan Pauls product = Failed as a parent X 2. But also people that buys overpriced stuff that they can't really afford just as a flex is pretty much proof of low IQ so...
Kids don't really have a good idea about money and don't get how to feel embarrassed for wasting it. It's not like they're making the money themselves.
I'm from the UK and have a younger brother who's 12 years old, he's asks pretty much every member of my family for £10 on a regular basis and as soon as he gets someone to give in, he goes straight down the corner shop and buys a bottle for £8. I asked him about it and he said kids at his school will literally get bullied if they've never tried a bottle of prime. Its an absolutely wild situation and the shop owners are just exploiting the fuck out of these kids and probably making good money doing so.
He should order a case of monster hydro, then take bottles around and tell them that everyone drinking prime is a cuck and that anyone who hasn't tried monster hydro lame as hell now... Then start slinging monster hydro at tripple the price 🤣 Is that available there? Even better if it's not lol
This reminds me of the K-pop thing where, if a popular idol is seen using a certain product, fans will immediately go buy it out. I saw it happen with literal fabric softener, as well as a wine. They completely sold out in the country. The idol with the wine even came online and very politely was like “wtf, I can’t even find my favorite wine bc you guys bought it all”. I just don’t understand that mindset.
I remember in The Philippines about the McDonalds x BTS collab, teenagers are raging about it whenever it is sold out. While my sister receives one and isn’t even a BTS fan 😂
I live in UK and I did notice a work van on my street with a bottle of prime proudly lying atop the dashboard clutter. He was probably leaving it there as a status symbol. Watching this I wouldn't be surprised if his van get robbed in hope there is another bottle in the glove compartment.
UK Retail worker here, Prime has caused so much trouble for our store to the point where people will come in and try to buy every bottle we have on a pallet we just put out and it got so bad we had to put a limit of three bottles per person, which people didn't like so they would try and circumnavigate it in many ways, one of the more funny ways was a guy going back to his car and changing into different clothing to try and fool us even though we had a security guy watching the entire thing. People go nuts for something that is just a label.
Are stores in the UK intentionally jacking up the price to create a false bubble that will absolutely pop and drop the price for these drinks to next to nothing??
Yup. After the Toilet Paper trials in the Time of Covid, the Similac Sorrows, the Egg Anxiety of the current times... Carry a screwdriver all the time Mate. Utility self defense. Ninja rules.
As someone in the UK, I can confirm at my school theres a fucking black market for trying to sell prime to each other, other people have to whisper seller's names so teachers don't find out whos selling it, the teachers are catching on. Selling Prime at school is like a hustle here.
Someone I know was refilling prime bottles with cheap off brand 65p energy drinks and selling them to year 7s for £5 each when it was starting to go really viral here in the uk
I have lived in the UK my entire life. I've been in many areas of Britain and I've never seen people in a store start fighting each other for a product even during covid when toilet paper was in fact a rarity. I'm just surprised that people want prime this badly.
This dude came to a club in my city and was taking photos for the club’s Facebook. I went up for one and asked him if he likes scamming kids and he didn’t even acknowledge my question.
All joking aside, I feel so bad for that turtle. It’s almost ironic given that they are the most innocent creature of the oceans. They just want to swim ashore to lay eggs, but someone exploited it for that.
Here’s the rub, I work at Morrisons in the uk. We recently got a limited shipment of prime. About half a pallet. It was later announced we would sell 500 bottles. We lined them all up on the isle end, market price was £2. And lo and behold, we see an army of children, renters, wanna be road men climb over each other for Logan Paul and Ksi’s drink. They’re purposely not making this drink easy to buy to incentivise purchase, and to make it seem like a status symbol. It’s just Powerade. I asked the district manager when we’d get more prime in, and they said “once every 2 months.” It’s not worth it, it’s shite, and there’s better drinks I promise.
circa 4:20 kids actually did collect them in Canada before prime opened for shop here. I remember driving to buffalo (I am from the western toronto area) and grabbing a couple of packs and selling them for a couple $$ over MSRP in the U.S., make a few bucks nothing crazy but rest assured kids very much so collected them.
I'm from Wakefield and I can tell you, how anyone up there is dropping £100+ on this drink is beyond me. So many businesses have shut down in the city. Last time I was there I couldn't believe how many empty units there were. We're in a cost of living crisis and our government doesn't give a shit and somehow this place can still do this. I'm equal parts impressed and dismayed tbh
@@winchesterkid it's not, I've seen people queuing up at this store and all the ones in my local area to buy it. It's like how people were travelling up and down the country to see the Binley Mega Chippy except this time it's to pay £100 for something that will last 20 seconda
The financial crisis is probably why they’re doing it. It’s not rent or water, it’s a drink people don’t need and still willing to pay top dollar for it. I’m more on the impressed side😂
Brit here. I went in to an ASDA (a.k.a Walmart to US folks) the other day and there were a few bottles left on the shelf. My friend and I were joking that we should buy the 6 or so remaining bottles at £2 each to sell them on for a profit, before walking away disinterested. A kid of maybe 8 or 9yrs old ran up to the shelf and moments later was running to the till, almost jumping for joy with a bottle in each hand. It’s fascinating and disheartening in equal measure how much influence social media ‘celebrities’ have over children now. Parents must simply be enabling their kids by buying it at any price, I don’t understand how it could be so hyped here otherwise…
Agreed, when I was a lad just because I wanted something didn’t mean I automatically got it. Parents do not discipline kids these days in this country and it fucking shows. They ask, they get, if they don’t get, they cry or act out until they get. It’s pathetic.
@@TheBrownsword Can confirm. I work in retail. Someone left an empty bottle of the stuff on a shelf and we got actual complaints by kids for not having more of it. We don't even stock it in our store and these were kids from the nearby high-school. Needless to say, their bad behaviour will have it's consequences, but it's entirely unwarranted.
Its honestly dumb really since most young kids to probably teens depending how they brought up now days will get just about excited for anything that has a celebrity name attached to that brand of sorts just to have bragging rights and to try show off to their friends for no reason.
Man idk why y’all hating. Just some kids having genuine joy over buying something they wanted. Imagine having an adult hate on you when you were just being a kid
Here in Canada when it first launched exotic snack suppliers were charging $8-10, then one day they just popped up in gas stations across my entire town at once for $3.49.
I work in a reasturant in the UK, and a child came in with an empty prime bottle. Another child tried to rob this bottle off their table and an all-out brawl happened. Shits insane bro
I don't know if it was the same incident but I saw clip of a fight breaking out over a prime bottle at Nando's. It's truly amazing how easily influenced some folk are and yet they seldom put that much passion or fight into improving their nation, helping others out, looking for work, etc.
as an unfortunate resident of Wakefield, seeing the queues of kids outside and people of all ages taking photos of this shop like it’s a holy monument is so surreal. internet culture is terrifying
Seeing first hand the lengths people will go to to get youtuber drink, not least paying £100 for a single can, is genuinely worrying seeing how much of an effect influencers can have on an average product.
I got locked up for a few days a few years ago and i was seriously wondering why a turtle was in the holding cell with me, it's all come full circle now. Thanks charlie
As someone from the UK, the kids are actually wild for it here. A couple months back, ksi said he was coming to our area with prime. Everyone I knew was going but I didnt care enough so I didnt go. After the event, heard tons of people got injured from overcrowding and someone got hit by a car. Will never understand the hype
@@dream7848 ur opinion man. Whether he creates better content or not doesnt matter. I enjoy charlies videos and thats why i watch them. U clearly dont so whats the point of going on to his videos to tell us to watch someone else. Just saying it makes the youtuber ur supporting’s fanbase look like assholes plus u watch dream still so ur opinion is invalid
I think people need to look into the guy. He’s previously been convicted for selling class A drugs. His business is pretty much cash only and people travel from far and wide to buy “prime”. I’m confident he’s not just selling prime still.
A kid came into a community centre to show off that he had every flavour of Prime and we had to give him a bag to make sure he wouldn’t be mugged on the way home
As someone that collects shoes, this is like when a shoe drops and no one can get it but the resellers, so they charge a $100-$300 mark up, and then in 3 months you can get them for $20 over retail or sometimes less than retail
The shoe equivalent would be running to a footlocker and buying AJ1 mids for 50x the retail price. These drinks are not limited and get resupplied every day in the shelves. Foolish kids getting scammed.
UK Prime: is just a bunch of silly kids pushing in front of each other, digging their elbows in, and the odd weirdo adult who wants to scalp. US Black Friday: adult stampedes, crowd crushes, bashing someone over the head with a mallet because you want 37 TVs
I'm from the UK, and people at my school will literally deal this stuff like it's on the black market. I've seen people buy half a bottle for £23 and then try to sell it on. It's literally madness.
Imagine it's like a drug circle where they go in a circle trying the stuff and throw it away once everyone is done lmao it might as well be a drug my friend had this happen where they all tried it cause they knew it would be a while till it calmed down
This stuff has just reached my school canteen and all the skater boys have adopted it as their official hierarchy. The leader is whoever has the most Prime, and everyone obeys their command in hopes of getting just a drop from the holy bottle.
I work in retail in the UK... It's almost a daily occurrence seeing an actual adult swearing at staff over not having prime in stock. It's so depressing I really need a new job 😭😂
I worked at a place in the US that sold Prime and kids would go feral for it (thankfully we had enough stock to where it wasn't nearly as bad as the situation in the UK.) There were always two types of Prime kids. Group 1 was the usually older, entitled, rude kids that just wanted clout, and Group 2 was the usually younger kids who were genuinely excited to try Prime and were so polite and grateful. We did have some odd situations though. Some groups of kids would actually take pictures posing with the Prime, and there was a night after closing when a kid stood clawing at the store gate and literally begging me to open up so he could come get some. Prime tastes good, not gonna lie, but it has these kids in a chokehold just for being a celebrity brand. It's so strange lol
Thats so weird I never knew these things were so sought after. Where I live in the states only the crappiest super markets and shadiest convient stores carry Prime and even then they have pallets of them just sitting.
@@ao8319 exactly the same situation in my store. They just appear and people are buying 5 bottles and I didn’t think much of it. I didn’t even know that KSI and Logan Paul made, I just thought it was a new popular sports drink
It's crazy because here, just across the channel in Normandy, we have a few bottles too, and no one buy it, i think the same "tropical flavor" one shelf, as been the same for a month now
I wouldn't say that I'd say it depends what kind of expensive clothes If we take stuff like Nike, where you pay to literally be a walking ad board with their name and think you look rich cause you overpaid for normal quality while advertising for free But if it's just expensive clothes, that don't look like they try to be expensive and really are just some good quality brand that doesn't use you for adverts Then I'd say they mostly got cash
It's so crazy to me that people are fighting each other to buy an overpriced drink while at the same time complaining about inflation and the increasing price of groceries.
pretty sure the people that buy that drink for that much money are kids or teenagers that dont have a clue about the value of money. question is why do their parents give them that much money to waste on stupid shit at that age.
@@CaynUploads pocket money, school lunches, change to go out with mates... there's plenty of reasons. Not to mention some parents are just more well off than others
Petrol station near me has it for sale, it's just out on the counter, nobody's fighting each other. It's a drink, there is literally nothing more to say about it.
Imagine enduring 9 months of pain and discomfort just to realize that the satan spawn you pushed out for an agonizing 10 hours is spending $100+ on a TH-camr's sports drink.... A SINGULAR DRINK!
Yeah but this is what you get when you dont give a shit about what enters your kids head after those 9 months up to adult age... 9 months sadly doesnt cut it if you want your kid to be a functioning adult.
I lived near the Wakefield shop, my son doesn't care for the 'Prime Hype' so when they started of selling bottles at £13 we thought that was bad enough yet people still bought them? This was the start of a downward spiral. Now school kids are even trying to get a bottle of Prime from whoever has one (other kids etc) and now offering to record themselves eating their own sh*t for a bottle. It's mad! First-world Problems.
low supply+high demand= high prices. I really dont think it is a scam. But yea it is crazy how people who are not well-off are wasting money on it or even fighting over it.
I work as a drinks manager at a japanese market in cali And i get people coming in trying to scalp all the japanese versions of american sodas (pepsi, coke, fanta, etc) and they try to sell em for triple/quadruple the price. Its actually so irritating I usually refuse their service cuz theyre typically rude and demand discounts + never pick their orders up on time
@@madtabby66 yeah agreed but people here go nutty for japanese fanta flavors, then they flip it to people on the east coast who don't have easy access to japanese shit
I remember seeing a band of kids buying them at an ASDA I was in. Out of curiosity I picked up a bottle (It was £2 at the time) and tried it. Shit both looked and tasted like something you'd put onto airplane wings in cold weather.
i work in asda and it is absolutely horrific. we have people of all ages going feral over this drink and trying to sweet talk us into pulling bottles out of our asses for them.
It was a similar thing with Little Moons a while back, though not as rabid (I guess if Little Moons came from Ricegum or Jake Paul or whoever then maybe it would have been)
I work in a grocery store in the us called Publix. And prime literally doesn’t sell. Gatorade still sells probably 10 times the amount of Prime that we sell. The taste isn’t very great either. Didn’t catch on like that here luckily
I’m from England. There’s 1 corner shop by me that sells it for £2.99. I’ve heard of 1 person actually looking to buy it. To me a lot of these seem just made up. Personally I think Wakey wines did it as a joke and then all the stupid people came crawling out the woodwork to try get into a tic tok, then they saw the potential opportunity to sell it for extortionate prices.
I'm from the US and I see shelves filled to brim with that stuff and I dont get why people are dying to get it in the UK. It's not like pokemon cards or ps5s.
it kinda does seem the whole thing that pauls raking in millions and millions from prime is bullshit. him and ksi don't even own the company, it's just a drinks company drink.
I work at retail and there’s this one kid that comes in literally everyday just to ask us if we have any cases of prime in the back. He’ll just buy like six cases at a time, then apparently sells them at his school for $5 a bottle. I live in the US too, but we almost never have any at my store
I think the biggest issue here is that the Prime Hydration bottles are deceptively similar to the Prime Energy bottles. I don’t believe it’s marketed to kids in particular, but I think it’s underhandedly marketing to adults with children. All you see on the bottles is PRIME at first glance. You have to look closely to see if it contains caffeine or not. Gatorade did something similar, and the bottle said “Not for rehydration use” (or something similar) The people producing Prime are using Big Tobacco tactics; similar to how Phillip Morris (the tobacco company) used to own Capri-Sun and used Lunchables as a catalyst for sales.
I’m from England and at least where I live there is not a lot of prime near where I live, there was initially only 2 shops in the UK (aldi and Asda) where they were stocked which means that there’s only a few shops you can actually buy prime
I remember my first scam... Called about a mysterious charge on my bank. The service asked for access to my computer to help me with the process and I just didn't know better. Then suddenly there's a bunch of viruses on my computer and they're saying they can fix it for a fee. That's when it hit me, so I cussed them out and hung up. Cried to my techy friend and he bailed me out and saved my computer. Certainly never forgot that conversation with the scammer and the tactics he used. It's been burned into my mind.
Its because of the intense sweetener inside the bottle. It contains Acesulfame K which is one of many sweeteners that can cause metabolic disorders, such as glucose intolerance. And people wonder why there are so many involuntary fat people in the United States, because chemicals like these aren't even remotely banned by the Food and Drug Administration. It also contains Dipotassium Phosphate. Excess phosphates may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases, disrupt calcium metabolism and bone mineralization, and negatively affect the kidneys.
It’s the same in Australia, one major grocery chain had it for a while (chaos ensued) and now the other two major chains are getting it, unfortunately for me I work at one lmao
The sad part was adults fighting for it too. It makes you wonder if they wanted to do it for their kids, or try to resell it on EBay. Either way, it makes pretty sad viewing. It makes me wonder what has happened to some people here.
I live in the UK in a nice little seaside town and I can confirm there are 13 year old scruffs everywhere drinking this stuff and shops are stacked to the max coining it in charging over £10
Our society is literally fucked. I know people have been saying this shit for decades, but I think after covid we really hit an all time low and the fact we have social media to watch the decay happen in real time is even worse. I'm honestly baffled at this behaviour and I'm curious to see how the world will be in the next 10/20 years.
We seriously, and I mean seriously, need to stop normalizing this shit. We act like it’ll just stop happening but consumerism is worse than ever and shows no sign of slowing down. We just buy, and want to buy way too much shit.
Don't worry man, the shit you see online isn't indicative of real life. Also we're not regressing, the internet just shows you all the morons around the world when you couldn't see them before.
I saw some kids paying £8 for a bottle in a store the other day, and an old man lost his mind over how much they were paying for it, it was hilarious

The first Starbucks in Norway was at an airport outside of the capital, about 20-ish minutes by train each way. Kids (teens) would make the trip early in the morning so they could show up with a starbucks drink at school, it would easily take more than an hour in total for a drink that would be ruined by the time they made it to school. There were plenty of much better coffee shops in the city, and when Starbucks opened everywhere it lost it's status and is nowhere near as popular. This reminds me of that, just way crazier.
Hm, interesting story. Very similar to this situation.
It's insane which level it reaches when chasing an arbitraty status symbol.
I remember someone I know in my area of mine, drove from the tail-end of the South of Norway. Just so he could pose with a Bislett Kebab in Oslo. They drove for about 7 hours one way, just to eat a kebab and have the picture with it. 😂😂😂

People in America do that too. It’s so stupid. It’s not coffee, it’s an outlet for vanity for most.
That's crazy to think about, they're from Seattle and they've been closing down locations there constantly for over a decade, because not enough people want to keep buying bad, overpriced coffee over the long term, and tons of higher quality businesses exist.

Yep this is the side of humanity that makes me hate people in general. Even if you are a kid and buy into this crap I can see a future dumbass adult in the making so I'm not even gonna make excuses for the kids either... Some kids are just soooooooooo dumb. All kids are dumb and kinda oblivious in one way or the other but then there are some of them that are legit DUMB. Hopefully their parents realize they need to fucking be better rolemodels to their kids cuz they have failed them! Having Logan Paul as rolemodel = failed as a parent. Having your kid buy crap at overcharged price just because it's Logan Pauls product = Failed as a parent X 2. But also people that buys overpriced stuff that they can't really afford just as a flex is pretty much proof of low IQ so...
Kids don't really have a good idea about money and don't get how to feel embarrassed for wasting it. It's not like they're making the money themselves.

My friends a shop owner who sells prime bottles for 15 and the new cans for 20
I'm from the UK and have a younger brother who's 12 years old, he's asks pretty much every member of my family for £10 on a regular basis and as soon as he gets someone to give in, he goes straight down the corner shop and buys a bottle for £8. I asked him about it and he said kids at his school will literally get bullied if they've never tried a bottle of prime. Its an absolutely wild situation and the shop owners are just exploiting the fuck out of these kids and probably making good money doing so.
He should order a case of monster hydro, then take bottles around and tell them that everyone drinking prime is a cuck and that anyone who hasn't tried monster hydro lame as hell now... Then start slinging monster hydro at tripple the price 🤣 Is that available there? Even better if it's not lol
Time those kids get in trouble for bullying.
Your brother sounds identical to a crackhead lol

"exploiting kids" bro making good use of supply and demand is less exploiting and more a good business practice to be profitable

This reminds me of the K-pop thing where, if a popular idol is seen using a certain product, fans will immediately go buy it out. I saw it happen with literal fabric softener, as well as a wine. They completely sold out in the country. The idol with the wine even came online and very politely was like “wtf, I can’t even find my favorite wine bc you guys bought it all”. I just don’t understand that mindset.

I live in UK and I did notice a work van on my street with a bottle of prime proudly lying atop the dashboard clutter. He was probably leaving it there as a status symbol. Watching this I wouldn't be surprised if his van get robbed in hope there is another bottle in the glove compartment.
UK Retail worker here, Prime has caused so much trouble for our store to the point where people will come in and try to buy every bottle we have on a pallet we just put out and it got so bad we had to put a limit of three bottles per person, which people didn't like so they would try and circumnavigate it in many ways, one of the more funny ways was a guy going back to his car and changing into different clothing to try and fool us even though we had a security guy watching the entire thing.
People go nuts for something that is just a label.
dont worry its not just you, it caused trouble for walmart, target, and even lowes!
We have the same problem here. Just with eggs
Retail worker here too, and thankfully we just don't stock it. So no problems here.
Are stores in the UK intentionally jacking up the price to create a false bubble that will absolutely pop and drop the price for these drinks to next to nothing??
Yup. After the Toilet Paper trials in the Time of Covid, the Similac Sorrows, the Egg Anxiety of the current times... Carry a screwdriver all the time Mate. Utility self defense. Ninja rules.
As someone in the UK, I can confirm at my school theres a fucking black market for trying to sell prime to each other, other people have to whisper seller's names so teachers don't find out whos selling it, the teachers are catching on. Selling Prime at school is like a hustle here.
Reminds me of selling Pokemon cards in the 90s

I have lived in the UK my entire life. I've been in many areas of Britain and I've never seen people in a store start fighting each other for a product even during covid when toilet paper was in fact a rarity. I'm just surprised that people want prime this badly.
The difference is that toilet paper was sought by adults compared to prime which is Kids
I assume those clips are staged, tbh, especially the first one where the fight seems to start slightly after the camera does.
Kids are stupid.

I don't know if this is true based on what I've heard, but kids are using them as water bottles for school, so yeah, it's basically a flex.
@@brad5426 yeah sounds right
Here’s the rub, I work at Morrisons in the uk. We recently got a limited shipment of prime. About half a pallet. It was later announced we would sell 500 bottles. We lined them all up on the isle end, market price was £2. And lo and behold, we see an army of children, renters, wanna be road men climb over each other for Logan Paul and Ksi’s drink. They’re purposely not making this drink easy to buy to incentivise purchase, and to make it seem like a status symbol. It’s just Powerade. I asked the district manager when we’d get more prime in, and they said “once every 2 months.” It’s not worth it, it’s shite, and there’s better drinks I promise.
circa 4:20 kids actually did collect them in Canada before prime opened for shop here. I remember driving to buffalo (I am from the western toronto area) and grabbing a couple of packs and selling them for a couple $$ over MSRP in the U.S., make a few bucks nothing crazy but rest assured kids very much so collected them.
I'm from Wakefield and I can tell you, how anyone up there is dropping £100+ on this drink is beyond me. So many businesses have shut down in the city. Last time I was there I couldn't believe how many empty units there were. We're in a cost of living crisis and our government doesn't give a shit and somehow this place can still do this. I'm equal parts impressed and dismayed tbh
They're buying drugs
It’s staged.
No one from wakeifeld is buying these, we're too poor to afford them so instead (stupid) people come from around the richer parts of the country.
@@winchesterkid it's not, I've seen people queuing up at this store and all the ones in my local area to buy it. It's like how people were travelling up and down the country to see the Binley Mega Chippy except this time it's to pay £100 for something that will last 20 seconda
The financial crisis is probably why they’re doing it. It’s not rent or water, it’s a drink people don’t need and still willing to pay top dollar for it. I’m more on the impressed side😂
Brit here. I went in to an ASDA (a.k.a Walmart to US folks) the other day and there were a few bottles left on the shelf. My friend and I were joking that we should buy the 6 or so remaining bottles at £2 each to sell them on for a profit, before walking away disinterested. A kid of maybe 8 or 9yrs old ran up to the shelf and moments later was running to the till, almost jumping for joy with a bottle in each hand. It’s fascinating and disheartening in equal measure how much influence social media ‘celebrities’ have over children now. Parents must simply be enabling their kids by buying it at any price, I don’t understand how it could be so hyped here otherwise…
Agreed, when I was a lad just because I wanted something didn’t mean I automatically got it. Parents do not discipline kids these days in this country and it fucking shows. They ask, they get, if they don’t get, they cry or act out until they get. It’s pathetic.
@@TheBrownsword Can confirm. I work in retail. Someone left an empty bottle of the stuff on a shelf and we got actual complaints by kids for not having more of it. We don't even stock it in our store and these were kids from the nearby high-school. Needless to say, their bad behaviour will have it's consequences, but it's entirely unwarranted.
Its honestly dumb really since most young kids to probably teens depending how they brought up now days will get just about excited for anything that has a celebrity name attached to that brand of sorts just to have bragging rights and to try show off to their friends for no reason.
Man idk why y’all hating. Just some kids having genuine joy over buying something they wanted. Imagine having an adult hate on you when you were just being a kid
Imagine seeing that kid jumping for joy with what he’s buying and your first thoughts are negative
Here in Canada when it first launched exotic snack suppliers were charging $8-10, then one day they just popped up in gas stations across my entire town at once for $3.49.

There were always two types of Prime kids. Group 1 was the usually older, entitled, rude kids that just wanted clout, and Group 2 was the usually younger kids who were genuinely excited to try Prime and were so polite and grateful. We did have some odd situations though. Some groups of kids would actually take pictures posing with the Prime, and there was a night after closing when a kid stood clawing at the store gate and literally begging me to open up so he could come get some. Prime tastes good, not gonna lie, but it has these kids in a chokehold just for being a celebrity brand. It's so strange lol

I’m from England. There’s 1 corner shop by me that sells it for £2.99. I’ve heard of 1 person actually looking to buy it. To me a lot of these seem just made up. Personally I think Wakey wines did it as a joke and then all the stupid people came crawling out the woodwork to try get into a tic tok, then they saw the potential opportunity to sell it for extortionate prices.
I'm from the US and I see shelves filled to brim with that stuff and I dont get why people are dying to get it in the UK. It's not like pokemon cards or ps5s.
Thats what i thought of it at first , i didnt take there tik tok serious when they started doing em but i guess gullible kids took it serious
For real tho this is some of the wackiest shit I’ve ever seen
@@SoccYT it’s just because it’s almost impossible to get hold of here. But I agree it’s completely pathetic
it kinda does seem the whole thing that pauls raking in millions and millions from prime is bullshit. him and ksi don't even own the company, it's just a drinks company drink.
I work at retail and there’s this one kid that comes in literally everyday just to ask us if we have any cases of prime in the back. He’ll just buy like six cases at a time, then apparently sells them at his school for $5 a bottle. I live in the US too, but we almost never have any at my store
Smart kid
Fucking gigachad, kudos to him for not consuming the awful drinks
You working at gnc?
How? I live in US too and I see it sitting on shelves in all stores like any other drink
@@gucci_meme4250 This was back when they first started hitting shelves. So they were more new and popular then
I think the biggest issue here is that the Prime Hydration bottles are deceptively similar to the Prime Energy bottles. I don’t believe it’s marketed to kids in particular, but I think it’s underhandedly marketing to adults with children.
All you see on the bottles is PRIME at first glance. You have to look closely to see if it contains caffeine or not. Gatorade did something similar, and the bottle said “Not for rehydration use” (or something similar)
The people producing Prime are using Big Tobacco tactics; similar to how Phillip Morris (the tobacco company) used to own Capri-Sun and used Lunchables as a catalyst for sales.
I’m from England and at least where I live there is not a lot of prime near where I live, there was initially only 2 shops in the UK (aldi and Asda) where they were stocked which means that there’s only a few shops you can actually buy prime
I remember my first scam... Called about a mysterious charge on my bank. The service asked for access to my computer to help me with the process and I just didn't know better. Then suddenly there's a bunch of viruses on my computer and they're saying they can fix it for a fee. That's when it hit me, so I cussed them out and hung up. Cried to my techy friend and he bailed me out and saved my computer. Certainly never forgot that conversation with the scammer and the tactics he used. It's been burned into my mind.
Damn
for a second before i continued reading i thought YOU scammed someone ... im a fuckin idiot sometimes ;p
@@ObviOneKenobi”I remember my first scam” could go two very different directions, so you’re reasonable enough
Yeah. Scammers are vermin who utilize psychological manipulation to swindle unsuspecting people.
Good on you for standing up to them and hanging up though, most in that situation just keep going with the scam
As someone from England, hearing Charlie speak about wakey wines is a greater crossover than avengers endgame
I feel this comment
Facts
As someone from wakey it’s even better
@@morgandavies9685 right I'm 10 mins away from good old shakey wakey and hearing him talk about wakey is... strange
@@morgandavies9685 I’m from Bradford and it’s still weird for me
It’s pretty wild here in Canada too. I paid 11.50 for a bottle of the red white and blue one. I didn’t care for it
It's $0.99 now in america. If anyone was wondering.
there needs to be an anthropological study on why stuff like this happens
Fr
rich kids looking for status + local shop looking for an easy way to money launder. easy
There already is lol
Its because of the intense sweetener inside the bottle.
It contains Acesulfame K which is one of many sweeteners that can cause metabolic disorders, such as glucose intolerance. And people wonder why there are so many involuntary fat people in the United States, because chemicals like these aren't even remotely banned by the Food and Drug Administration.
It also contains Dipotassium Phosphate. Excess phosphates may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases, disrupt calcium metabolism and bone mineralization, and negatively affect the kidneys.
Dead ass tho something off in they brains
I read the title as 'Time is a pathetic scam' and i was like shit Charlie is getting deep on us today
It's a flat circle scam
Brilliant
Charlie is getting what🤨
@@justabystander5303 Spelling mistake, he meant to say, Charlie is getting deep in us today
@@omarsabeur9039 true detective pilled
It’s the same in Australia, one major grocery chain had it for a while (chaos ensued) and now the other two major chains are getting it, unfortunately for me I work at one lmao
That just tells us how big of a scam Is prime
The sad part was adults fighting for it too. It makes you wonder if they wanted to do it for their kids, or try to resell it on EBay. Either way, it makes pretty sad viewing. It makes me wonder what has happened to some people here.
I'm willing to bet some adults even get into it for themselves, just like the children.
Yeah that's exactly it. Most of em just reselling it
That's not sad, that's called recognizing an opportunity. If you can pull money from people over something this stupid you should.
@@if7723 aint worth my teeth for a few bucks
That one dude literally looked old enough to be WWII veteran.....
I never thought the day would come where Critical would be discussing an offy in Wakefield... The world has plunged into madness.
Well tbh this hapenned a couple of months ago (wakey wines) so nothing new
i live like 15 minutes away from wakey wines and this is surreal to me
@@TheRealJetJaguar least we dont have to say its close to Leeds anymore 😉
@@TheRealJetJaguar my condolences sir
Its the funniest fucking thing in the world 😂
I live in the UK in a nice little seaside town and I can confirm there are 13 year old scruffs everywhere drinking this stuff and shops are stacked to the max coining it in charging over £10
Our society is literally fucked. I know people have been saying this shit for decades, but I think after covid we really hit an all time low and the fact we have social media to watch the decay happen in real time is even worse. I'm honestly baffled at this behaviour and I'm curious to see how the world will be in the next 10/20 years.
It’s gonna get worse don’t worry
FRANKU
It's very depressing
We seriously, and I mean seriously, need to stop normalizing this shit.
We act like it’ll just stop happening but consumerism is worse than ever and shows no sign of slowing down.
We just buy, and want to buy way too much shit.
Don't worry man, the shit you see online isn't indicative of real life. Also we're not regressing, the internet just shows you all the morons around the world when you couldn't see them before.
