"They never said he sold overpriced coke" I love Asmon's facts.
All coke is overpriced, they don't call it a rich mans drug for no reason
ikr, they never showed the price tags on the other drinks he sells, hes coke might be underpriced if anything now to get rid of hes stock, now that they are so fixated on the prime.
@@sya2711 yeah man what about his Pepsi?
I might grab me a Pepsi from that mans store.
@@gamingmoyai3950 lmao
@@scubasteve7850 then why are poor people addicted to crack
8:33 I was expecting something like "he did a crime, he did his time and now he sells prime".
"And now he be Ballin, its about damn time"
he gets dime, he sniffs line
Disgusting state of TH-cam. This can ruin the shopkeepers life by calling them out for obeying the law.
This encourages people to go to his shop and poke the ex-drug dealer…
I work in a gas station in the US and it's never flowing that hard. It's actually pretty rare I see someone take a bottle of Prime from our cooler.
I think I have seen it here in Canada in some gas stations but I can’t remember.
The hysteria could end up here. The panic buying of toilet paper in 2020 was confined to Australia until media coverage made Americans do it too.
It’s a European thing, there’s something wrong with that entire continent
@@warcheddar4163 when did I say that?
Yeah, is about scarcity. As Charlie said at the begining, since it's a "rare" item there, it creates a premium feel to it. In America is sold everywhere, so nobody gives a shit.
price gouging is usually only enforced on essential items during a crisis. Not for a overhyped gatorade
Exactly, it's not gasoline or medicine or basic food supply.
@@Rabiiid If scalping is legal the yes, not for essentials ofcourse, especially not during a time of critical shortage, this drink is not an essential item, scalp away I say.
@@Rabiiid what a disingenuous comment. Do you need PRIME to survive ?
@@Rabiiid This doesn't even compare to something like GPU scalping, there's a bunch of similar drinks available, with GPUs there was nothing.
Also while I (a consumer) do hate scalping , if it's not for an essential good you can just sit it out and wait for better supply.
@@Rabiiid people are not agreeing with scalpers, they are disagreeing with moronic consumers. Prices go up because there is a buyer willing to pay for the prices. How is this hard to understand?
"It shouldn't cost 100 pounds"
Maybe not, but if people keep buying it then they think it's worth it
You reap when you sow when make a deal with the soda devil, hydrohomie gang, gang gang
NFTs in a nutshell
It called supply and demand.
Imagine when people hear about the sneaker market. This is like child’s play compared to shoes.
Just saw in the vid asmon talked about that…
I’ll always hate scalpers, no matter what it is
Asmon has a talent of making me rewatch the videos I've already watched
Lol nice display pic, that brings back memories
because he often has W takes
@DR 11 yeah that’s what it is
YEP NootNoot
I'd love to see moist and Asmon do a joint review
I bet that shop owner sleeps very well on his giant bed of cash! 😂
No, cash it too hard to comfortably sleep on, even just a few stacks underneath your matress is uncomfortable, take it from an ex drug dealer
“”Isn’t it still price gouging? No maybe he had good prices for coke” lmao love asmonds takes
Let's be real the difference between this and the graphics card is there's a 2 dollar monster right next to the empty prime slot on the shelf. There are no regular price alternatives to the gpus being scalped
Exactly
I still dont think scalping the GPUs can be seen as immoral. The item is still not essential, even if us gamers are so addicted that it feels essential lol.
Also there's other alternatives to other GPUs that are cheaper and even better in some cases over the popular market brands.
GPUs are not essential. Try again
When I was super young like 5 years old or so I traded my entire box of Yugioh Cards (like 1200 cards total at least, was a plastic pencil box full) to a couple older kids for all 5 Exodia cards. They printed the shit out on a printer and glued it to legit cards. Got totally ripped off but I've never been scammed again
Pokémon cards taught kids valuable life skills. *ALWAYS* trade up and not down. That’s what I’ve passed on to my kids. Now my middle daughter has built herself a sticker empire at school. Started with 20 stickers, now she has hundreds.
People do these kinds of things all the time. For example a lot of people buy concert and sports tickets and sell them for like 100x the price.
And some of those people make VERY good money doing so.
@@Jon-yn4pq and all of those people are bad
How about the console scalping during Covid? It is still hard finding a ps4
@@Pooky1991 Total non issue
imagine being a kid and blowing all of your christmas money on an energy drink
A single consumable energy drink
Imagine being a parant and beating your kid for spending 100lbs on 1 energy drink
The biggest issue with the graphics card scalping was Nvidia selling cards in bulk directly to miners and lying them about being available to everyone else.
Yea and gpus are PART of a bigger product which is necessary for a lot of things. Energy drinks are just drinks
The Miners and Scaplers aren't the problem. Its Nvidia with their price gouging greed and artificial scarcity strategy. They know they dominate the market. They refuse to make consumer friendly cards at market value. They only cater to high end whales as seen by the release of the 4090.
@@justinhadasch well you don’t need an Nvidia 3080/90 unless you work in a computer graphics industry everyone else was buying one so they could play games as a hobby
@@pwners4uthey don't use use 3090 etcs for that unless they testing something, Nvidia makes professional gpus for companies who need them
@@pwners4u What if you're a content creator or someone who needs that kind of power to deliver your work more quickly? Even if a 3090 or 3080 cards are overkill for most people, at that time mid and low end cards were skyrocketing in price too.
hes working so hard that he even made a song.
It someone told me all this shit back in the day I would of never believed it but in today's age anything can be true
Id love to live in a world where people didn't buy stock just to resale at higher prices. I think its a scummy, shitty thing to do. I use to despise it. But I'm with Asmon, if people are going to still buy unnecessary items like this then thats on them. All people would have to do is show restraint and patience and not buy and this wouldnt happen.
@@TenmasSchoolOfThought That logic is dumb and I've already wasted too much time reading and responding.
Take care
There’s gonna be something every year that’s super trendy/MUST have for social status. An example I can think of off the top of my head from my own experience was “silly bands.” The rubber bracelets that shaped into animals. This isn’t anything new, but man this is getting out of hand
I have a local store underneath my apartment building selling sodas like pepsi and coke (1.5L) for what is equivalent to 4-5 dollars. Most of these stores jacking up the prices is because they can't compete with supermarkets and is trying to stay alive in the city where the rent for a store is outrageous to begin with. If he can keep his business floating I have absolutely zero problem with that, in fact, good job staying alive in today's market.
15:30 KSI is like: “Wakey Wines, what you’re doing is wrong. We should be the only ones taking advantage of young dumb influencable kids selling overpriced cans”
That’s more of a Logan Paul thing, KSI doesn’t scam his fans, and act like he did nothing wrong.
"They never said, he sold overpriced coke..." LOL :D
Kind of a side note but I just gotta say I appreciate what Asmon had to say about Former convicts. I got out of prison 7 years ago, completed my parole early, paid all my restitution and court fees in less than a year. Now I own a construction company, have a beautiful Family and Home. Alot of that is due to people with the same attitude as Asmon who didnt pass judgement on me due to my past. Much respect
0:32 When I was in elementary school all the cool kids had chubby's. They were small pop bottles you could hide in your desk. We called them chubs lol.
Chubby's were extremely popular in my high-school, but only among the boys in Mrs. Adlers class.
@@SleepyFawn lmao, Me neither. I was just making a wiener joke.

Hahahhahaha amazing comment
Asmongold reacting to Moistcritikal reacting to the Prime story is just so meta fucking hilarious. Thank you.
Khahahahaha people watching videos!!!! FUNNYY
@@Viroh cringe
Legitimate props to this guy. If you can mark up 25x+, go for it. Fleece the kids for all they are worth, they learn a life lesson, you make a fortune.
They are getting taught a lesson, kids actually learning it is still up for debate.
@@frankieb9444 tru dat. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink!
Absolutely, but I wonder whether the market could be held accountable from a juristic standpoint.
Was gonna say this is fucked till I realized their brit kids.
And they say teachers aren't getting paid enough
The Wakey Wine guy sounds like a Little Britain character when he talks. I love it.
If 7/11 started charging 100$ for a redbull I would simply not buy my redbull there its that simple
@@UltimaKeyMaster that would suck but if the price isn't good then I'll switch to monster or full throttle.
It's not like it's a life saving medicine that has no replacement there are plenty of other drinks to buy and if no one is buying the overpriced ones then they will fall in price eventually
Thanks for being the voice of reason on the internet Asmon...."f you think it's too expensive, don't buy it!". Your world is not going to collapse because you didn't get a bottle of sports drink.
my local store bought a few boxes of prime and every time i go in there the same ones are sitting there collecting dust
@@WookieWarriorz It's like gatorade, you don't need an ID to buy it
You should buy them all and put them up on UK ebay
That's not a legal requirement in the UK, the bigger supermarkets do it as PR. There is no minimum age to buy energy drinks.
@@WookieWarriorz You should probably rename your account to WokeyWarrior
Here's what I think. I don't like that this is targeted at dumb children who are easily influenced. Yes, it is legal but I see it as highly unethical. I would have no issue whatsoever if this was done to let's say alcohol since adults can spend their money however they like.
kids don't have money. if a parent gives a kid 100 bucks to buy some water, fuck them

@@Chaoticsaur what vid?
@@RampidWarthogStudios Oh shit its asmon's white knight
This is no different to what gas stations and clubs do. A can of V is $2 at the supermarket, $5 at the gas station and $10 at a nightclub. If people want to pay $100 for a can of Gatorade let them.
Had a bunch of these come through the food bank last week.
I think price gouging is unethical but if it isn't for essential items then it's not something I'm going to spend my energy worrying about personally.
To be fair, they can't go to another store. It's on the same side of the street as their house and their mom doesn't let them cross the road without an adult.
@@WookieWarriorz Yeah, nothing to worry about walking around in London nowadays
i was expecting heroin in the prime like the Glasgow heroin ice cream front.
Companies price gauging on life-saving medications: I sleep
Random guy who price-gauged stupid Logan Paul fanboy kids on energy drinks: I rage and harass him at his store
They've now released an energy drink version. Apparently still sugar free.
@@WookieWarriorz Sugar + Caffeine can kind of multiply with each other. But yeah i get what youre saying.
@@WookieWarriorz they arent all energy drinks. there are 2 separate products....? hydration and energy. i dont know why this is so confusing to people.
@@inFiniteTraCer Prime hydration is a completely seperate line of products that does not come in bottles or cans, it comes in powdered form to be used by mixing in a bottle of regular water similiar to liquid IV, to be used after excercise or wprkouts. However prime hydration lacks salts which are essential for hydration products in order to give it a better taste, so you should rather not use it after an workout, which means the hydration drink is practically useless.
@@MeldinX2 Nah, he's right. Hydration and energy drinks are two different product lines, one is a energy drink while the other is a powder to be mixed in water to be drunk after workouts.
@@karanaher5030 i have a PRIME hydration in my hand right now. Not a powder?? What?
I'm just waiting for all the poeple who actually drink prime to turn into energy drink zombies and for things to go full sunset overdrive.
0:40
no? because Four Loko didn't exist when I was in middle school, and I don't remember it being popular while I was in high school. I feel like it wasn't until after 2010 that it became popular
For those interested, when you go to a store and you see a product in the shelves, it is classified as an invitation to deal. When you walk to the cash with the product it is an offer that you are making. The cashier accepting the money is the business accepting your offer.
So in a way, they just inviting people to make offer under the common law lol
100% agree glad you always say what you belive in
I love it when a youtuber watches a video of another person watching a video.
@@AKATenn call Josh Strife Hayes and hell make it happen
swear every video i watch from this guy is just him watching the same other guy
The meta is shifting
it's so lazy
@@chizzelfingers yet you still watch and comment lol youre just proving why they do it: it works
Last night I was in Asda just around the corner from where I work and there was pandemonium over Prime.
There was about 10 guys, all over 6 foot, wearing puffer jackets and had more than 3 bottles of Prime each. They had just had a major restock and were selling them for £2 each. They even had a notice where they were explaining that due to demand, you could only purchase 3 bottles at a time. Anyone who had more than 3 had them taken off by store assistants. And these guys were feral and were kicking off with everybody, myself included for asking what on earth was going on.
Now I should also explain that I do use Prime but only when I actually go to the gym and only if I am going to be there for at least 3 hours at least. These guys did not look like they used the gym for recreation.
I literally just noticed Prime in the Walmart near me for the first time the other day. And now you're telling me I could _theoretically_ make bank of off them??
This is peak internet. A TH-cam video of a twitch stream watching a TH-cam video of a twich stream watching a TH-cam video.
We need to stop using the term "content creators" and start using "content regurgitators"
I LOVE when Asmongold turns the volume UP for a TH-cam video
I logged in to Facebook for the first time in years and people are selling them for like 30 bucks a bottle in Australia lmao
Get in on it!
You know what, sometimes I think the world being a shit place is a good thing because humanity doesn’t deserve better
God, I’ve never seen Asmon so passionate about something 😂
the only issue could be if prime has set a fixed market value/price or if they say that you cant sell it further
Wasnt you talking about the OTK merch was resellt ?
This is pretty sad omg. All for a bottle of Prime!
My dude really said cool drink back then was Four Lokos in middle school 😂 must’ve been a rough couple of years of school in that time then (Unless is another drink I’m not aware of)
Kids learning basic [supply and demand] lessons for less than the cost of an economics textbook...I'd go so far as saying the store owner should get tax breaks as a volunteer teacher.
“Sniffin’ lines, bangin’ nines, sellin’ Primes” BARZ lmaooooooooo
What does asmond think about scalpers? I know its not a perfect comparison but I would like to see his reaction
If you don’t like scalper prices, don’t buy from scalpers. Just wait to get the product at the fair price.
At some point, it stops becoming the scalper’s fault and becomes buyer beware.
@@wisdomfox857 how is it a con? As a consumer you're voting with your dollar and by buying over-priced goods you're telling the supplier that you approve of the sell. Seems like a consumer problem to me.
When it comes to luxury/indulgence items (which is the majority of what scalpers deal in, including Prime), if people want to pay that much for something they don't even remotely need, that's their business. At the end of the day, the the phrase 'vote with your wallet' holds true, and dips-hits vote scalper in by a landslide every time.
@@ItsMrAssholeToYou This is correct. Scalpers can ONLY exist if the price of a good is too low for the current market. I know thats not something people want to hear but thats how economics work.
@@ItsMrAssholeToYou true. People are way too impatient, so they pay scalper prices until it becomes the standard. There are ways qround this but it seems people would rather bite the bullet and get emotional instead of just waiting or buy other goods.
"selling for 100 pounds" "aha, what's the problem?"
It's tax fraud. They only pay VAT after the original price! No VAT from the back of the truck.
the definition of scam really changed in 2023. Scam I thought meant you bought one thing and got something else. Here they bought a product for way blown out prices.. but got exactly what they thought they were buying.
Every energy drink is like that, especially collector versions or limited editions. Those who collect unopened Energy drinks just to have them as a collection, will resell any they have extra they have bought at whatever price they choose too.
Asmon be spitting facts
I work at convience store in Canada, most of the time it's just kids who's buying those overpriced drinks and adults who buys it knows about prime from kids and they just wanna test what's the hype about.
Btw we sell it for $8.99 per one single bottle, for me $9 dollars is like one time of my food plus small can of diet coke Which is 1000 times better then just some 500ml of ego juice
Hey im just now downloading wow and i know nothing about the game but im a huge mmorpg fan so i love this kind of games, what do you guys recommend, start playing wow or wow classic? wich is the difference? wich one is better for new players?
othe thing why its rare in uk from what ive heard is because every place that is selling it never has any in stock since the workers go "fuck it imma sell this out the backdoor" so it gets a "uprise" in demand since nowhere has it other than the "blackmarket" or resellers
In my country, this would be illegal, since prices are protected by the government to avoid situations like this.
Please am new to this crypt0 trading what is the best way to start trading as I have be doing my personal research and I still don't knw how to trade crypt0 withmy binance account.
I thought i was the only one who doesn't understand Bitcoin ? Watching a documentary's about it now and they might as well be talking Chinese.
Prime is sold as high intensity training drink (which it is not), compared to Gatorade and others such. It's a suboptimal for sports since they don't put enough salt and sugar in it thinking it's more healthy, when you need those when training 🤣
I got big into Rockstar's Unplugged drinks. Well, since November, Amazon stopped getting them in stock. Their website also said they were unavailable. I messaged rockstar asking if the flavor line was being discontinued. They emailed me back saying they werent. Surprise surprise, they stopped selling it on amazon and 2 of the flavors arent on their site anymore.
While watching for more to come back in stock, occasionally a seller would pop up, selling a $17 12 pack for $40 each. There was no way i was paying 3 times the price for something someone probably bought from a gas station and marked up.
What about the PS5 and Xbox???
Is the same if we don't buy is ther porbem
This comment section does not understand supply and demand, and never will until they are truly invested with a long term perspective on how price movements work.
The value of a dollar goes beyond the means of a number.
By you as a consumer paying for over-priced goods, you are quite literally approving of said goods to be at that price, and thats how you get to the point of a drink being worth 100 pounds, simply because there was a buyer on the other end of the deal.
Unscrupulous, he's happy to grossly overcharge a product.
There's no reason for him to charge up what 10-30 times the price other than sheer unmitigated greed.
I get resellers, I have a cousin who has a store, buying wholesale and reselling, I get it but there is a line, selling shit 5 times, 8 times, 10 times, up to 30 times retail price is a bad look.
That wakey wines song sounds very similar to gambling streams songs for certain games they play 😂
"It's not like they do it to Insuline" - Asmon giving people ideas that American Medical distributors have done for years.
More like he's calling out Big Pharma for doing exactly that... smh
it's hard to care about this for this particular product. But...did asmon forget what scalping is? You try buying a graphics card earlier this year? What about retro games or other artificially inflated products? It's not proper supply and demand if it's artificial scarcity.
Its not artificial scarcity when there Is too much demand. And manufacturers can't keep up. Prime is just selling like hot cakes there.
Just dont buy a videocard from a scalper and wait for the prices to drop! Let the scalpers sit on their investment untill they have to sell it with a loss, that way the problem fixes itself .. Its not rocket science.
guys...a bunch of you don't seem to understand how scalping works. Even if you, yourself aren't buying from them, the price is ridiculously increased. It's extremely bad for the consumer. There may actually be legal problems but I'm not an expert and not sure how that would be enforced. For the children about to respond it's part of capitalisms to try to take advantage of the consumer, it's the consumer's responsibility to in turn look after their own interests, which means speaking out against this and discouraging it....which I am. Companies and scalpers can watch after their interests just fine.
The lack of graphic cards supply had nothing artificial about it. It happened because manufacturing slowed down while crypto blew up so the demand skyrocketed and the supply slowed down
@@Simiocrates You're right. Scalping doesn't create the issues it simply exacerbates them.
I went to a Kroger's grocery store here in the US yesterday, and there was a full, untouched pallet of Prime sitting in the kart room.
Seen price of it at my local shop in the UK which is £10 for one bottle lol
this is some karen level drama
5:35 ok so asmongold probably support "ticket master" artificial scarcity
"What about leaves?" 🤣🤣
9:15 Energy drinks can be addictive, as well. Withdrawal symptoms even mirror alcohol withdrawal and produce a similar dependency response in a person.
good thing their are a million other energy drinks
lol
@@Slvl710 What’s that have to do with the price of tea in China? Mans said they weren’t addictive, he’s objectively incorrect.
Yeah but you didn't saw a lot of news about people get into car accident for consuming energy drink, did ya ?
@Bob513 no matter how addictive the worst energy drink is, it is orders of magnitude lower than H. It's not even comparable.
Asmon "I'm proud to have scammed people" Gold defends another scammer. Shocking.
Props for not getting onto the bandwagon, but scamming should always be criticized, especially when it targets dumb kids who don't know better.
bit surprise that drug deal in UK have very little jail time
I work for Asda , in the store that I am working as soon as we recieve Prime goes to warehouse and it stays there
I mean to be fair, he's still taking advantage of vulnerable people. It's just no longer addicts, it's children who don't know any better. But it's not his fault, it's the parent's.
oh these poor vulnerable kids with 100 pounds to spend on a bottle of water!
I wish i was a kid with hundreds of dollars to spend on bullshit
His dad probably bought him a shop becuase he took the fall for his drug operation
fanfiction
Calling scalping a scam is a huuuuuuge reach. While I hate scalping, I don't consider them as scamming their buyers. Their buyers know exactly what they are paying and agree to paying that amount for the product they're selling. Not scam.
"How do you sleep at night charging 20 quid for a bottle of prime"
"Like a fucking king!"
Respect to Asmongold for promoting his younger brothers TH-cam channel
Is he your son Asmon ?
Imagine if every capitalist entrepreneur had their past dredged up every time they started a switched to the legal money game.
So true, there are big companies selling pair of shoes in prices of thousands of dollars marketed at kids
oh my ducking god. 4:48 the insulin one, got me of guard. damn so good.
Asmon needs to add the thanks button option. 👍
I love how fair Asmon is about those guys' criminal history. He's 100% right.
Edit: After finishing the video, I'm even more on Asmon's side. All this smear campaign is stupid. They've done nothing wrong. Yes, scalpers are shit, but nobody forces people to buy from them.
I agree with you here. Its a free market.
If you think it's overpriced then don't buy it. You don't HAVE TO buy it, energy drink is not an essential commodity.
Why isn’t it just being sold on eBay? Can’t you ship international?
this is the same thing as scalping basically, and im surprised asmongold is ok with it.
@@jebalitabb8228 i guess so, but i feel like his take would be different about ticket scalpers or ps5 scalpers. he clearly has an issue with insulin scalpers, but its all equally unethical IMO, however i can see how he would think drinks are less important to consider it unethical.
@@xXSinForLifeXx im not saying they are equivalent, but neither are illegal. yet, i think both are just as unethical. one certainly harms more people but that doesnt make ps5 scalping a good thing to do.
i think no matter what, it is a form of scam and market manipulation without proper regulation, and needs to be reigned in in all cases.
@@xXSinForLifeXx first of all, the fact that you hate consumers more than you hate the people doing the legitimately unethical practice is absurd, and you should fix your priorities.
second of all, just because it happens doesnt mean it should happen.
i agree that its stupid to fall pray to the consumer trap like this, and that people should know better than to buy things at wildly inflated prices. on the other hand, people want stuff. they saved up their money to afford the stuff. "fear of missing out" is a real issue. getting certain things late means you lose out on early benefits. whether that be in the promotions of the company, such as things like "first 1000 purchasers will get a free signed controller" or things that happen in your community that you miss out on, or a million other reasons.
and i dont know if you know this, but we are in a capitalist society. consumers who are willing to pay a lot of money for things is how the economy grows. people buying the new hottest trend or the latest fashion is what boosts our gdp, and keeps the money going around.
if everyone was optimal, capitalism wouldnt rly grow like it does (though our growth is kind of a bad thing).
anyway, stop vilifying the consumer. they did nothing wrong. focus blame on those who deserve it
@@xXSinForLifeXx i mean, thats if you take my meaning to be FOR capitalism. im not rly. i think pure capitalism is pretty harmful, and we are currently in a very bad state of societal decay
@@xXSinForLifeXx uh bro. the prices are only so bad BECAUSE OF SCALPERS.
they buy up all the stock, artificially lowering supply while demand is stagnant, and then they sell it at higher prices because they bought all the fucking supply. items arent just "out of stock", its just that someone has taken all the stock to then markup.
its NOT ETHICAL.
that wakey wines song had me dying lmao
12:22 this rant was so good lmaoo 😂
This may very well be the best Asmon video since the 2 dollar steak
Don't know how it works in the UK, but price gouging can be hit with large fines & banned from selling the merchandise. Happened in the US during covid when people price gouged toilet paper & whatnot. We don't usually enforce price gouging laws unless it's egregious circumstances, though
