Gooooddddammit, I actually didn't mind the PRIME electrolyte powder for when I'm sweating like mad (brought it to Burning Man this year), but Logan goddamn Paul owns it? Fuck I hate that guy
FYI they advertise it as "electrolytes" because it's full of potassium and has next to no sodium, which is the main thing you lose when sweating, and they do that to say it's sodium free while still having "electrolytes"
Right, Gatorade, a long standing "sports drink" has 12% of your DV of sodium or something for the reason you stated. Fuck logan paul and fuck his "get the kids to get their parents to buy this" garbage
Oh, is that what this is? Here I was thinking they "shipped Amazon Prime" to people and thought "well that's bad grammar but... what did they actually ship using Prime?"
And yeah, fuck that guy.
The sweetness would make life bitter
Wtf is prime?
sugar water sold by Youtubers
It’s some kind of energy 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.
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".
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.

A signal the person consuming it is prepared to be sold whatever you are offering.
It’s a win win they can fulfill their contractual minimum orders, that they failed to reach last months and can write these off. Win-Win situation.
Isn't prime caffeinated? That's dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water...
I don't think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.
They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks
The cans have caffeine. The bottles don't. Pic looks like the bottles.
Still tons of sugar though.
Prime's got what plants crave - it's got electrolytes
Came to comments for this line specifically.
True, but it's clearly no Powerthirst.
Mother nature will be like 'sloooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwn', and you'll say "FUCK YOU" and kick her in the face with your
Well, they can't sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
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.
Rich man helps da poors! Rheee
A truck loaded with water bottles is more useful than Prime bottles, think it a little, for medial reasons some people can't drink hyper sugar shit.
Really, no one should be drinking high sugar drinks. Even stuff like juice should be a once in a while thing. I'm as guilty of it as almost everyone else, I admit. Hard to break that sugar addiction.
I have the same problem, that sugar addiction
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. ')
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.
These people lost everything. Maybe we should monetize a video about sending a truckload of bibles and coyote urine! We're super awesome, y'all!
I couldn't find where I saw/heard it, but I swear I saw a blurb about PRIME drinks containing polyfluoroalkyl, which is what allows jackets and tents to repel water..
I did however find a Consumer Reports article.
I'd believe that. I tried Prime once and it tastes like the fumes from spray paint.
These people have suffered enough.
And it was a publicity stunt, it wasn't for the peoole, let's be real.
