I tried Prime a few times. Saw it at the gas station and figured I'd give it a try since I was going to grab a Bodyarmor. Very strong flavor. For me, really seemed to straddle the line between good and meh. Tried the energy drink once, terrible.
Then I learned that dip shit was behind it. Haven't bought it since.
This is how I sleep knowing the only social media account I have is Facebook and I hardly use it.

I tried a Prime once and it was fucking nasty. I had literally 2 sips and threw the rest away
It's because we're old. I was hit hard with the realization the other day, that I'm not the target audience of this product anymore. Does anyone else have trouble remembering that they're not a kid? I'm like 30 years old, and I do not identify as an adult
Honestly I'm starting to forget what feeling like a kid was like. I'm 30 and yeah I don't have all the answers and shit, but my teenage years were defined by an internal conflict I resolved in college, my relationship with my parents (one died when I was in college the other disowned me when I was in college), and high school.
My college years were defined by the wild shit my previous sentence said I went through at that time, as well as my studies, financial and housing struggles, and a relationship that ended less than a year after I graduated, and I moved away from my hometown after college.
I'm 30, I'm married, I've continued growing as a person my whole life and have no intent to stop now, my financial struggles are those of an adult of my generation with a decent career. I don't really have any of the same problems I had as a kid except like my health and disability issues. Sometimes I have traumatic flashbacks to my teenage years but I haven't had one in years. My interests have even matured. Sure I still don't have all the answers, but anyone who says they do is lying to you and possibly themselves, and they may be trying to take advantage of you. I'm not a kid pretending to be an adult, I'm a person, and it turns out kids are too.
I'm in my 20s and I don't really feel like an adult (I don't know how to deal with stuff, how to take care of things), but I also don't feel like a kid, because things targeted at kids don't appeal to me and I barely keep up with what they're up to now (is skibidi toilet still funny?)
I’m 48, I’m not an adult but what the fuck is this shit we’re talking about?
Drinks with drugs (yes, sugar and caffeine are drugs. Fight me) targeted at children.
They put THC in drink form now too :)
That seems counterproductive for an energy drink.
It's all crap targeted at children that came out when you were already well into your teens.
Oh, like the Power Rangers… cool thanks!
I'm only 46 and most of my coworkers are in their early 20s so by the sake of being surrounded by the youths a lot of my time I am also a youths. I also have no idea what those things are either.
*Yutes
Just yell at me to get off your lawn already and go back inside and have your metamucil, grandpa.
Edit: I'm touched that two people stood up for this guy, seeing as I'm about to turn 48 as well (and I've been drinking metamucil.)
What are those even?
A bunch of food and drink brands spun up by influencer personalities as merchandising.
Ah, so not amazon prime?
i mean you can order Prime using Prime, but Prime is not Prime.
Roger, Roger.
Pretty sure the prime drink is owned by amazon.
Worse, Logan Paul. There's a silver lining though, they're currently fending lawsuits over PFAS contamination and way too much caffeine.
lol Logan Paul wins some kind of award for being one of the few entities on the planet worse than Amazon.
Prime drink? Is that like a verification can
I think they’re some of them pokey-mans or beyblades that the kids all go crazy for nowadays.
Moldy
Not going to lie I've bought Prime recently... But only because the energy drinks are 4 for £1 at a local shop.
Sure it tastes like the sugar monster came in my mouth, but what a bargain!
Would have been cheaper drinking tap water, and not tasting the sugar monster spunk in your mouth.
Does tap water have caffeine now?
Almost certainly in trace amounts. Cocaine and semen too.
Should sell it as homeopathic.
Same. First time trying because they were insanely cheap. They're also disgusting. Way too much fake sugar.
I had a feastables given to me and I can honestly say it was not the best chocolate bar I've ever had. It was pretty average.
Yup. My kids wanted to try it, so I had one too. Seemed like dollar store candy.
I worked at one those "we'll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them" candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of "the best in the world".
On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.
They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.
They should have for hygienic reasons, not even for your own comfort. Hell, I only did IT for places like that and they made me gown up and shit just to go onto the factory floors, and I wasn't even working on anything even touching the machinery. Just entering the area was enough to make me have to gown up.
Ya, apparently a hairnet and gloves were enough even though other employees were in full smocks and aprons. It was weird.
Prime is throughally mid, interchangeable, forgettable drink that is carried by its influencers.
I thought they meant amazon prime. I might be slightly out of touch. (Idk what lunchly is either)
Is that like rebranded lunchables
Yeah, it’s lunchables that are supposed to be “healthier” because they have the prime drink in it. (It’s got electrolytes! eg, salt)
Yeah it was. Not sure if it is still being made since the person behind it is in trouble with the FBI over (iirc) the product not being sealed properly which caused mold etc. and breaks laws.
It tastes exactly like liquid jello. One of the worst things I've ever tasted. Definitely not forgettable.
I only knew about Prime drink because they claimed to not be selling in Canada in defence to having over the legal limit of caffeine
They said all the retailers were smuggling them in from the US because of how popular it is
Probably getting the out of date unsold stock from Dollar Tree.
Sounds like Booty Sweat energy drinks and Busta Nut bars, which apparently were actual things in relation to promoting Tropic Thunder.
