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…
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.
Is it too sweet for Hozier though?
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
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.
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?
They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks
How the fuck does this guy have a career after the suicide forest video?
When you’re rich you get lots of extra chances.
I have recently started watching some streamers. The suicide forest stuff is just par for the course. The entire genre is largely based around doing things you aren’t supposed to do for content.
In this world of marvel movies, conspiracy theories, and other unreal distractions, there is something both addictive and refreshing about just seeing an unfiltered idiot who is fucking around and finding out. I actually think watching streamers has made me a little more socially confident. If they can be that reckless and have it turn out ok most of the time, then maybe I don’t have to be anxious about things that might happen in public when I’m being reasonably careful.
This sounds interesting to me. Do you mind sharing a couple of examples?
Of course! I mostly watch streamers on Kick, which I loudly warn you has a chat culture similar to 4Chan. Be prepared.
One of the first streamers I started watching live was ShakoMako. She is a woman from Iraq whose family fled to Germany during the war. She has several screws loose, but there is something weirdly endearing about her. She reminds me of a character in a Gaspar Noe film—an alluring train wreck of a human.
Shako travels the world and has absolutely no consideration for her safety. This week, I watched her go up to strangers in Egypt, negotiating cheap or free tours of the slums in their personal cars or carts, and then wandering around those slums with her two phones visibly out, a fake gold weed leaf gangster chain swangin’, and telling anybody who will listen that she wants to find the really haram shit.
Before watching streamers for hours on end, I would have been certain that this kind of behavior would definitely lead her to be raped and killed in the streets of Cairo. Yet I’ve watched her do this in nearly a dozen countries, and so far she has had only one close call with a driver in Laos who took her to a remote spot and then ditched her.
I don’t condone any of this behavior, but seeing an unedited version of how far the line can actually be pushed has helped me a lot in realistically assessing danger when I’m in the streets or traveling. If Shako can survive her time in the slums of Egypt, I will be fine walking down a public street in Mexico, or New York, or wherever.
Other kick streamers to check out:
SuzieSmalls - a three foot tall entertainer who streams her life as a recovering alcoholic in NYC.
DBR666 - a former dealer from London who travels around trolling people, he does a pretty good job of making pranks funny and not too mean.
Shoovy - 18 years old, reckless as hell, currently headed straight into the path of the hurricane for content. He might not live, and I’ll be amazed if the cell signal holds, but I’ll definitely be tuning in to check up on him.
It’s the camera. Younger streamers have no idea about the past but the older ones do. They know it’s the camera that changes the whole proposition. Some of them have talked about this. If people think they’re live on camera then everything is different when there’s an audience and they believe it might be someone famous to whatever extent. Nobody wants to cause an international incident.
When random nobody put themselves in sketchy situations with nothing else but their nobody self then they are absolutely putting themselves in danger whether they perceive it to be or not. There’s neither a live audience nor the illusion of “celebrity”.
So you’re saying I’ll be safer if I stream. Maybe this will finally convince my wife… /s
Lmao thanks for the write up, definitely gonna check out ShakoMako, that sounds absolutely mad
Why tf would you support this kind of bullshit? Do you really crave the brainrot? Do you really need this much of an escape? It’s a cancer and you’re actively injecting yourself with it. Why?
Shako is great. She is traveling to another country right now, so she will probably stream again in a day or two.
I’m watching Shoovy right now, and I seriously think this guy is going to die.
Edit: Shoovy didn’t die, but he was arrested for armed burglary today: https://streamable.com/sx4ksm
You’re not concerned about the multi million dollar Bitcoin scam or just didn’t know? Dudes up to all sort of shady shit
Lol, I know, it’s just amazing the shit this guy gets away with.
The man has also been involved in numerous scams.
I’m obviously not his demographic, but my wife (a teacher) says that there are loads of kids 10 and upwards that love Logan Paul and KSI. I think the suicide forest thing predates many of them, or they just don’t know/care about it.

People are still voting for Trump. You really should not be surprised anymore
Oh man, I remembered that. This guy is horrible.
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.
It’s got electrolytes, its what hurricane survivors crave. Brought to you by Truth Social.

It has a lot of potassium
I broke down and bought a pack of Prime
You need to work on that. That’s not good.
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.
It’s targeted towards kids, and parents who don’t know any better get it for them.
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.
I wish I wasn’t cursed with knowledge…
Well, they can’t sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
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!
It tastes like oompa loompas spitting in my mouth.
Having never experienced that, I’ll take your word for it.
Which one?
Both.
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
Alt headline:
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!”
You know they are sending thousands of bottles of whatever flavor didn’t test well that has been sitting in a warehouse, too.

Multi-millionaire tries to pass off marketing as a tax write-off
Yep, sounds more like that
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 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
Absolute piss. My 8 year old bought some and I tried it. It’s like they tried to make it taste awful.
These people have suffered enough.
And it was a publicity stunt, it wasn’t for the peoole, let’s be real.

How did I not know these jackasses made Prime? Makes me feel guilty for the two I gagged down a year ago.
