I get the lemonade version sometimes and it only has a couple of grams of sugar, iirc. I like it for hikes and things like that. Usually I’ll get the powder packs and put some in my water bottle.
DripDrop powder packs are a possible alternative if you don’t want to support Logan Paul. They have a variety pack. I used them to keep hydrated during colonoscopy prep, lol.
Can also recomment “Sqwincher” (stupid name aside) products.

As they market primarily to people working in construction / other trades - and are therefore sold at the likes of electrical and safety supply stores - we buy them in bulk for when we’re spending weeks installing racks of servers in our datacentre at work.
Well, they can’t sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
Who is Logan Paul?
Guess it’s some YouTube influencer.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if there were some sort of fully-indexed global network of computers full of information where you could do something like type the words “Logan Paul” into a text box and instantly get an answer about who that person is?
Alas…
Fair enough. ')
You’re much better off not knowing, imo. Influencers are like Tinker Bell, in that they disappear if there aren’t enough people who believe they exist.
It tastes like oompa loompas spitting in my mouth.
Oompa loompa doopa dee dit
He wants to swallow some of our spit
Oompa loompa doopa dee dah
Aim at his mouth and go hawk tuah
Having never experienced that, I’ll take your word for it.
Which one?
Both.
The sweetness would make life bitter
They only did this because they are sitting on a bunch of inventory they can’t sell, so they used it for marketing, check out LegalEagle on youtube he has a 20 minute video on the lawsuit they are facing, they agreed a contract to have a custom factory line built then backed off when sales plummeted
You mean tax deductions… More lucrative than just biting the loss.
Not sure how the Us tax system works, but I am guessing storing inventory is also not free
US businesses have made an entire industry based on pretending to give a shit for tax breaks/deductions.
Ah, you too, have worked for a non-profit
Great, so anyone allergic or sensitive to coconut water is fucked. Great job Mr. Influencer. If you can’t do aid right, don’t get in the way of the professionals.
Anyone who is allergic to coconut has my sincere pity, because coconut might be my favorite of all flavors.
Fuck prime and the paul brothers but you can’t dismiss people/companies providing aid. By providing aid like this it frees up other resources for others to use. The professionals relay on any aid that they can get so long as it isn’t going to hurt anyone. Someone allergic to something will know what they can/can’t have.
Again fuck prime and it’s a shit resource but when you’re desperate you’ll take what you can to stay alive.
By providing aid like this it frees up other resources for others to use.
What does this even mean? Also, do you think they’re actually doing this to help people? Lol…
That’s not how it works. You go down the line handing out pre-made bundles. This isn’t a grocery store.
It’s a win win they can fulfill their contractual minimum orders, that they failed to reach last months and can write these off. Win-Win situation.
Isn’t prime caffeinated? That’s dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water…
I don’t think it is, it’s supposed to keep you hydrated, all it is is water with a shit load of sweeteners and flavouring (and allegedly lead)
There’s a caffeinated version of it and a ‘electrolyte’ version, afaik
A good, it’s got what plants crave
I was just making that joke
You sure you’re not the smartest guy in the world?
I don’t think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.
They’d get the same tax deduction by disposing of the drinks.
The cans have caffeine. The bottles don’t. Pic looks like the bottles.
Still tons of sugar though.
Actually not sugar, these are full of sweeteners and very little sugar, lots of potassium, little sodium, it’s a great way to create some electrolyte imbalance
Ok fine, but it’s cloyingly sweet. Try Meta Moon hydration and tell me it’s not way too sweet.
I heard that it’s sweet as fuck, but I am not giving a single dime to that motherfucker Logan “film dead bodies for clout” Paul, he can go fuck himself
They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks
It’s got what victims crave.
It’s got electrolytes
I would rather drown myself than drinking that cat piss.
Also they don’t even do it out of charity. Prime, being as dogshit as it is, is selling terribly. So they are giving it away instead of having to spend money getting rid of it. Would not expect nothing else from scammer logan and soulless KSI
Wtf is prime?
Zoomer Gatorade.
Zoomers: “don’t put this evil on me. Blame the alphas”
Alphas: “I didn’t ask for this shit”Owned by millennials, marketed to zoomers, primarily consumed by gen alpha.
With extra sugar
It only has 20 calories. I’m all for hating on Prime, but it’s not heavy in sugar at all. Definitely fake sugars. And heavy on caffeine.
Oh, I didn’t realize it was mostly artificial sweeteners. I just remembered trying it, and finding it cloyingly sweet compared to gatorade
The thing about fake sugar is that it’s arguably worse for you than the real thing. Fake sugar should really only be prized by diabetics and dentists.
Ah yes, the “we made rats eat 20kg of aspartame and they died” thing
First of all, you are referencing a study on saccharine, not aspartame.
Secondly, this is about obesity.
Idk, doesn’t seem that damning to me considering that people who have more body fat might tend to consume more artificial sweetener and other such factors.
Don’t have the time to look into the particular paper and other research right now though.

It’s some kind of energy drink
It isn’t an energy drink, because it doesn’t have caffeineor sugar. The producer calls it a “hydration drink” which I suppose is somehow different from a “drink”.
Oh… why would that be handy when water and actual food is going to be useful/needed?
1: the guys making it have a minimum purchase every month.
2: they keep selling less than that, costing them money.
3: charitable gifts are tax deductible
I don’t think they have issues with selling enough. This shit is huge among children.
Pfffft, Prime is SO 2023: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteoric-rise-stunning-fall-prime-130900275.html
It wouldn’t, but the energy drink version isn’t what’s in the picture anyways; it’s basically Gatorade but sweeter

A signal the person consuming it is prepared to be sold whatever you are offering.

Multi-millionaire donates tax write off of $12,652, adds, “These cattle better be taking photos of this shit and sharing while mentioning the brand or I’m not fucking doing it!”

Multi-millionaire tries to pass off marketing as a tax write-off
Yep, sounds more like that
You know they are sending thousands of bottles of whatever flavor didn’t test well that has been sitting in a warehouse, too.
Just because it’s (potentially) a tax write off doesn’t mean they gain any money. It means that they either lose slightly less money or that they can donate more for the same amount, depending on how you see it.
Technically they don’t gain money no, but they get:
- To move or dispose of product, making sales look better
- Free marketing, both in people having the drinks and to say “look we did a charity”
- To pay their taxes with effectively free money, because they take the product that they made for pennies, and count it as a “donation” at full price. Meaning that all the “profit” they would have made on markup goes straight to paying the taxes instead of making the money and paying taxes on the money they already made.
It’s why a company donating their product is always better for them than a regular person donating cash. They are effectively still making money it’s just this time they are making money specifically to pay off their taxes.
I broke down and bought a pack of Prime to try recently after seeing it everywhere, even in the hands of people I don’t associate with the whole Logan Paul circus.
It tasted like piss and chemicals. If you’re at all sensitive to the taste of sucralose, it’s like drinking battery acid. I simply cannot fathom how it is as successful as it is.
edit: typo
Kids, their taste buds are still developing so when they taste it and don’t instantly vomit they think it tastes good. After that their taste buds are permanently shifted towards those types of flavors, making the problem worse. Should be illegal.
It’s a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn’t make sense.
And, y’know, it’s just fully a scam. It’s mostly successful because he’s famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.
The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.
I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I’ve had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I’m not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.
I broke down and bought a pack of Prime
You need to work on that. That’s not good.
It’s targeted towards kids, and parents who don’t know any better get it for them.
It’s got electrolytes, its what hurricane survivors crave. Brought to you by Truth Social.

It has a lot of potassium
Just a swallow or sip of sucralose I fused drinks can send my to bed in a dark room due to migraines.
That drink may kill me.
Online grift sends in goyslop for the hurricane survivors at least fedi crowd know this is pathetic. I am sure on reddit they LARP as some sort of W.
