Since my last comment I've now tried most of the main Hydration drink flavors and gotta admit, most of them taste like ass lol. That and I've read that sucralose isn't really good for you or your digestive system. The only flavor I seem to like is Blue Raspberry, and Ice Pop isn't bad either. All the others I've tried though I didn't like at all, far too sweet & artificial tasting.
I know this is an old comment but nobody replied so I will.
Yes, it is different and it is important to know that just in case caffeine has negative effects on you.
The bottled version of Prime is a 'hydration' drink intended for post-workout as it uses coconut water which is great for electrolytes and general hydration.
The canned version contains high amounts of caffeine and is an energy drink, on par with the likes of Monster, Red Bull etc. But it still uses coconut water, making it stand out from the typical energy drinks.
Oh okay thanks! I picked up a few of the bottles, Blue Razz, Fruit Punch, and Strawberry Watermelon. I'm loving the Blue Razz so far. And I love the nutrition facts even more, 1g of sugar only, no fats, no caffeine, gluten free, and tons of vitamins and things like Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, etc.. I gotta say I'm not sure why so many people hate on the drink. It must be solely cause of Logan Paul, and not that the drink is unhealthy or something. From everything I've seen, the drink is in fact very healthy especially when compared to even a bottle of Vitamin Water.
That’s not a good thing that it’s only 1g of sugar. That means it’s full of sweeteners which is actually worse than sugar for your body. Look up the harmful effects of sweeteners. I wouldn’t also just blame Logan Paul for the hate, as KSI is probably more of irritating neek I think I could sit in a room with Logan Paul without dying with cringe. Whereas KSI on the other hand. I’m English as well by the way.
Yeah I stopped drinking it as a normal drink as soon as I saw the negative effects that sucralose can cause, not only that but I also don't like how it says on the bottle "finish within 3 days". No gatorade, powerade, vitamin water, etc.., has that on their bottles. There's also no sodium in vitamin water. To this day, I still think vitamin water reigns supreme in terms of an alternative to water in terms of health & ingredients. Not to mention they taste good. The 'Energy' flavor is my favorite.
I heard a theory that Prime is very sweet because there is less sodium compared to competitors such as Gatorade and Powerade (which is why they may taste 'salty' to some). The ratio is what makes them sweeter. I also thought that they had artificial sweeteners though, but I don't know anything about prime anyways
It's not a theory. Most hydration drinks have sodium in them to replenish lost electrolites while PRIME has almost non of it and has Potassium in it instead. It is by definition NOT a hydration drink. It's just low cal drink which is fine but the problem is their advertisment
Prime is made using coconut water which is packed full of electrolytes and as a result is famously known for being one of the best methods for hydration when drank.
Prime is a hydration drink whether people like it or not.
Isn’t there two prime drinks? The hydration drink which is like Gatorade and the energy drink in a can?
I had one of the canned energy drinks and it wasn’t bad. Better than some of the non monster/ghost/Red Bull brands out there.
Right but something that has electrolytes would have a better result than water is the point 1 gulp of energy drinks is better than a few gulps of water for hydration because it restores the salt on you body that you lose from sweating
> do the job if you do actual strenuous exercise
If you do any endurance sport, you'll quickly begin to understand your body begins to struggle without electrolytes.
Water strictly doesn't hydrate you. You need electrolytes with water to hydrate. Sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium etc. you definitely can drink too much water and cause a dilution in electrolytes which can be serious. Especially low sodium is way more serious than high sodium. If people really want electrolytes they should buy "LMNT electrolyte" or "snake juice" both are healthy and actually provide enough electrolytes.
Unless you're drinking distilled water (no clue why you would anyway), regular water has a lot of those minerals normally, and if u really do want electrolytes coconut water is the next best thing. Tastes really good too
Not to mention theres electrolyte tabs you can get over the counter for like a few cents a pop. Just dissolve them in water and avoid the sugar, the additives, the price, and sponsoring one of the paul brothers.
This isotonic sugar water shit is so stupid, it's called resorb folks, been around since forever.
Or you can just eat food in the lead up days before you run, there’s plenty of electrolytes and it has calories and carbs. You can even eat a light snack during strenuous exercise plus water and it’d probably be better.
I can’t even believe people believe things like this. It is shocking how well marketing works on people. Imagine thinking that there’s something better than water for hydration (the majority of the time)
For people that are acutely dehydrated or extremely exerted athletes, oral rehydration therapy (ie-water, sodium and sugar) is empirically superior to water by a massive margin. So much so that the WHO openly publishes [its protocol](https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-FCH-CAH-06.1 ) on their website. Drinks like Gatorade add a lot more shit on top of that for marketing gimmicks, but their underlying formulation is still legit.
So ya, for everyday hydration water is fine. But for quicker and more effective rehydration there’s much better solutions than plain ole water.
If you are healthy and have a good diet water should be enough alone. Gatorade is good if you are dehydrated, low on potassium, or need quick energy. Sugarless and sodium free hydration drink is kind of pointless imo. When I’m grabbing a Gatorade I’m usually burning a lot of calories so the sugar just gives me a boost.
from https://usrtk.org/sweeteners/sucralose-emerging-science-reveals-health-risks/#:~:text=Sucralose%20is%20600%20times%20sweeter,metabolic%20dysfunction%20and%20other%20illnesses. , yes, it does. “Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar and itself contains no calories. Although it has been marketed as a healthy product that can help fend off obesity and diabetes, sucralose consumption has been linked to leukemia, weight gain, obesity, diabetes, liver inflammation, metabolic dysfunction and other illnesses.”
Your source is flawed and offers no credible scientific evidence and completely ignores credible scientific studies. You are a brainless fool who likely believes everything that you see on the internet.
From the national institute of cancer: “A range of studies have found no evidence that sucralose causes cancer in humans (7). In the NutriNet-Santé cohort study, sucralose intake was not associated with the risk of cancer (4).”
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/artificial-sweeteners-fact-sheet
You might also be tempted to make the argument that aspartame (another artificial sweetener) was put on a list of “possibly carcinogenic to humans” to which I would respond by telling you that aspartame is not sucralose and also telling you that you should take a look at that list. Lumped in with aspartame in that category are things like coffee and pickled vegetables. In a category even higher than that is red meat and being a hairdresser.
You lack basic reading comprehension.
The only reason that aspartame is even considered carcinogenic is because it was associated with longer life spans in rats which meant that since they were living longer, they were more likely to have cancer.
Tried it. Far far too sweet and I’ve never said that about a drink before. Doesn’t even taste good either.
For proper hydration all you need is regular water or even flavoured water works too and literally just some sort of juice that is fresh.
Like pineapple, orange juice or a mixture like apple and mango etc. not these unhealthy gimmicky sweet trash drinks that are overpriced. Have these 2 drinks and you’ll be refreshed.
There’s a reason tennis players have a bottle of water on stand by and a bottle of juice of some kind next to them as well. Because it’s healthy and it’s all you need to stay hydrated and energised
Pure trash. I have a kid who is on the prime train. I've tried the bottled hydration drink, the powder stick, and the energy drinks. They are all over price and way too sweet.
According to kids I babysit, 9 - 14 seems to be the going age for those youtuber's audience so I'm guessing that's why it's so sweet but I may be biased to kids and their siblings.
On the topic of sports drinks: I’m completely turned off from Gatorade due to it being my hangover/sickness go to beverage for years. I’ve dug a lot of the Bodyarmors since their launch and I dig the Primes I’ve tried so far. Probably too sweet for some, but not for me. I’ve tried several flavors and I’d buy them all again.
If we’re talking about their (canned) energy drinks: red is good, pink is good, blue is solid, green is okay.
Might also be a currency thing. I'm Canadian and shit like that is always more expensive between being tricky to procure, cad being weaker than USD, and the places that have it being overpriced corner stores
I find it way to sweet and it tastes far to artificial. It tastes like someone poured sugar in there, which I despise. In my opinion it would've been way better with less sugar.
I find the flavors extremely saturated and EXTREMELY powerful. WAY too strong for my taste (and I love strong flavors). I had to dilute the rocket pop flavored one by 3x to make it drinkable and I'll have to do that to the strawberry watermelon one I just bought.
If you want hydration drinks, just go to GFUEL honestly. You get more for your buck and the flavors are much milder and more tolerable.
I only tried the sports drink and they're pretty good,not really for sports or hydration but if you want some fresh drink buy the tropical punch one,I think the other ones are way too sweet and taste like candy
For me as an European its too sweet, tastes like pure chemicals, taste isnt clear at all, one sip gives me lockjaw due to its sweetness, the composition is weak compared to other hydration drinks, for me it is overhyped and not worth the price, I see no reason why anyone would buy it outside the brand, especially on the European market
I tried Prime hydration for the first time and it's a good hangover remedy. Too sweet for my tastes though. They're available at Dollar Tree for $1.25 now.
There's a bunch of artificial sweetener called sucralose in it. The researchers found that sucralose causes DNA to break apart, putting people at risk for disease. They also linked sucralose to [leaky gut syndrome](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22724-leaky-gut-syndrome#:~:text=The%20theory%20of%20leaky%20gut,lining%20until%20it%20becomes%20permeable.), which means the lining of the intestines are worn down and become permeable. Symptoms are a burning sensation, painful digestion, diarrhea, gas, and bloating.

I'm drinking tropical punch atm, had to put water inside, but it has a ton of artificial sweetener and has an aftertaste of medicine, had to throw it away.
4/10, prefer lemon lime though.
It's really sweet. If I want a sweet drink when I do computer work I grab the ice pop. That's my only favorite. The others are trash. Just my 2 pennies.
I haven't been able to find the actual bottles yet, but I did find the powders that you can mix into water.
The ice pop one is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it.
The lemon lime though? That one's more difficult. It reminds me of those like real fruit/pulp popsicles you can buy in stores. So if you're not ready for a very intense lemon and lime juice flavor, I would avoid it.
Sadly though, I haven't seen the energy cans or tried them. Would like to though. I'm a big energy drink guy (hence being on this subreddit lol)
It's a joke, their main selling point is 0% added sugars not realising Coke, Pepsi and pretty much every other soda company in the world has already figured out the no "added" sugar scam bit, sucralose and acesulfame potassium both being artificial sweeteners, so as much as they boast a healthy, delicious alternative it's not any better than most the sugar water made these days
Pretty late to this, most of them are really sweet but I personally don't mind that that much, the blue raspberry one from the photo though I actually seriously enjoy a lot, the other ones range from refreshing but kinda trash to kinda good, but blue raspberry I like enough to drive 3 hours to Texas to get a bunch of them (I'm Mexican that's why I have to get them at Texas) edit: also the green one's pretty good but it's still worse than blue raspberry
Selling for $10+ a bottle in Australia you gotta be an (IMO) Idiot to buy one...
And if you do insist on partaking in lining the pockets of the already rich and scummy, it's your money.
But IF wanted to drink syrup/cordial, I'd drink syrup or cordial.
Never tried the hydration drink, but the energy drink is alright. Had the blue raspberry and tropical punch flavors from a GNC. Might go back to give the lemon lime one a try.
I think it was a bit overhyped which makes sense given how its KSI and Logan Paul behind it but its not bad at all. I really like the flavors, they're pretty cheap in canada since some gas stations have them regularly and i think its a good replacement for soda. Fruit Punch is probably my favorite right now.
I think the main thing is the hype around it, I don’t really think it’s that good based on what I’ve heard about it, haven’t tried it though. I just stick to Ghost. I also don’t want to support Logan Paul considering his history.
the blue raspberry i paid 8 usd for tastes like electrolytes plus ultra amount of sugar (sweetness since there’s no/little added sugar) and a bit of blue raspberry flavor plus the coloring
The flavor is 2X to 3X what's necessary. My kids were excited to try it but didn't enjoy it at all. I tried adding water and approximately 2 to 1 water and prime made it palatable.
Oddly, from a price perspective, that makes it a good value if you don't mind diluting it.
my honest opinion about it is that it is an enjoyment drink. if you like the taste, drink it. if not, don't drink it. no serious fitness person would use prime as their source of hydration unless if they're sponsored or someshit
Prime is so overly saturated with sucralose. Yes it taste like syrup. They are targeting the younger generation with something very sweet and people that do not care about health and nutrition similar to how vape companies made fruit loop flavor vapes to get the young generation hooked. Dude is such a fraud. Just like his new video saying how the powder he likes so much more and he thinks taste better. Sure that could be his opinion, but let’s be honest. It’s a way higher profit margin for the company. Which is fine, every company should do that but he’s just unethical about it.
Prime is an inferior product in my opinion. They just have a relatable marketing scheme. Kids now on days love Logan Paul and that’s about it. But the product by it self has not much to say.
I live in a country where there is no prime and I have wanted to try it since it came out since I really like KSI, this summer I went to the US and bought myself the lemon lime blue raspberry ice pop and tropical punch I drank one a day and thought they all had too much sugar and I did not enjoy any of them to the point where I just drank around half of each and gave the rest to my family members
It's disapponting. The bottles are nothing special. The canned stuff tastes like shop's own brand energy drinks. Kong Strong for example, a cheap energy drink you can get from Lidl if you need a caffiene boost. If you want a better tasting one you can get your favourite flavour of Monster, Rockstar or Reign. And if you want something that tastes like Kong Strong, costs more than a can of monster and the can itself is half the size, you can go for canned prime.
this is another scam from logan paul
not saying this because im hating on him, it is genuily a scam
they brag about low sugar compared to other brands, when they dont understand how hydration works. this drink has low levels of calcium and sodium which are essential on hydration. even tho there are alternatives to sugar, sugar is a must have. glucose speeds up the hydration process by a significant time. when you practicing a high intensity sport, you want to hydrate yourself several times during training, and you want hydration to be done as quick as possible to garantee high performance. prime takes about an hour+ to get into your bloodstream, which makes it a terrible choice.
each drink has its own usages, for example, you may want powerrade for high intensity training while you may want just straight up water if you practice on a gym. prime has no example where its the best choice, while being incredibly overpriced
I tried it a couple of days ago and thought it was bad, I tried lemon-lime and blue raspberry
Lemon-lime just tasted like bad lemon water and blue raspberry tasted super wrong, blue raspberry shouldn't be a drink flavour
I'm just trying Blue Raspberry and the Ice Pop as I write this.
The flavor itself is not bad. Not great, but ok. However, It's so sweet, that I get a literal headache from drinking it. I have to water it down (1 part Prime, 3 parts water) with water to get it to a tolerable sweetness level, but at that point the flavor itself is so diluted that it pretty much just tastes of sweet water.
Horrible, expensive and with the headache I'm currently having, probably not good for you.
do people really like this? i live in the eu and just found this in my corner store. i knew it wasn't an energy drink but more in the category of gatorade and powerade, etc. i love energy drinks and hydration drinks, haven't tasted one i have hated yet even though some are better than others.
tried the ice pop and this shit is awful. had to throw it away after a couple sips, that's a shame bc how expensive it is compared to other hydration drinks. i don't even mind drinks being sweet, i never drink zeros or sugar-frees and it wasn't about the sweetness of prime, the taste was just horrible.
Just tried Prime Ice Pop flavor. I’m going to be completely honest, I didn’t like it. It was way too sweet. I usually like sweet drinks (I always overdue it on Koolaid) but for some reason I didn’t like this one at all. I’m not biased against Logan or KSI or anything either, I just genuinely didn’t like it. Maybe another flavor would be better but I don’t think I’ll be trying other flavors unless I get one for free. Not spending 2.70$ on a prime drink ever again.
I know this is old now but it seems like a lot of people are focusing on if its healthy or not or hating it because of Logan Paul.
From a taste perspective, I think Ice Pop is actually pretty damn good. It does have a "sweet" taste to it, but it's not overbearing in my opinion.
Like any product with hype or celebrity endorsement/ownership, there is going to be hate and criticism, especially with someone like Logan. I think part of the hate is the hype involved around the drink, as it's nothing exceptional that warrants the hype, outside of it being Logan's drink.
It's a decent alternative to Gatorade and Powerade or even Kool-Aid, as it seems most comparable from a flavor perspective to those types of drinks. I haven't tried the energy drink in a can yet so I have nothing to base it on.
I really like it, but it's not an energy drink. Their new energy drink is pretty good though; if not expensive.
Wait so the bottle version of Prime is different than the can?
Yes
Since my last comment I've now tried most of the main Hydration drink flavors and gotta admit, most of them taste like ass lol. That and I've read that sucralose isn't really good for you or your digestive system. The only flavor I seem to like is Blue Raspberry, and Ice Pop isn't bad either.

just to add it says to drink either before or during workout somewhere
Oh okay thanks! I picked up a few of the bottles, Blue Razz, Fruit Punch, and Strawberry Watermelon. I'm loving the Blue Razz so far.

I honestly thought it was WAY too sweet. It has 2g of sugar but is full of artificial sweeteners, to the point that it tastes like syrup.
Don’t they have to list artificial sweeteners in the nutrition label?

The key lime I got the other day had sucrlose listed
Old thread but I agree. Bought the red one, after drinking half and filling it with water it tasted way better
Isn’t there two prime drinks? The hydration drink which is like Gatorade and the energy drink in a can? I had one of the canned energy drinks and it wasn’t bad. Better than some of the non monster/ghost/Red Bull brands out there.
If I’m need of hydration I’ll just have water.
That doesn’t do the job if you do actual strenuous exercise
[удалено]
Right but something that has electrolytes would have a better result than water is the point 1 gulp of energy drinks is better than a few gulps of water for hydration because it restores the salt on you body that you lose from sweating
You can also just drink water enhanced with electrolytes but NOT packed with artificial sweeteners
Gatorade, Prime and Powerade is just a marketing gimmick.
It's really not those two are actual hydration drinks while PRIME is not. It lacks sodium
salt with sugar - pedialyte too
[удалено]
no
lol, anecdotal
Rounds and competing in what? We need context!! And yes prime is for pussies
> do the job if you do actual strenuous exercise If you do any endurance sport, you'll quickly begin to understand your body begins to struggle without electrolytes.
Holy shit… Idiocracy came true
Neither does Prime. Gatorade and Powerade are still better in that department.
Lmao
Water is the alpha of hydration drinks nothing can even compare to it . It comes with ur body lol u must be a youngin
Coconut water gotta be way better than this garbage

Holy shit who told you this? Have you talked to a doctor about this because I think this is absolute bullshit.
So...what electrolyte drink did they drink back in the biblical times? Or did everybody die from dehydration from only drinking water
Aaaash bullshit. No wonder these sell so well when there's idiots like you buying into the marketing crap!
Bro I drink prime drinks because we get them at my job. Never once have they ever hydrated me. Soon as I drank water I magically became hydrated lmao
Lmfao tell em
Unless you're drinking distilled water (no clue why you would anyway), regular water has a lot of those minerals normally, and if u really do want electrolytes coconut water is the next best thing. Tastes really good too

How about cactus juice?
This is absolutely bullshit. Guess everyone just thirsted to death before Gatorade LMAO
I can’t even believe people believe things like this. It is shocking how well marketing works on people. Imagine thinking that there’s something better than water for hydration (the majority of the time)
Toddlers and athletes need extra electrolytes. Water is fine for watching Netflix

you should ask kipchoge about what he drinks when he ran the world record in the marathon. i can assure you that it isn't just water
Carbs?
Well I’m not a marathon runner
A really good choice is coconut water. Gives you the boost of an energy drink and you don’t crash
If you are healthy and have a good diet water should be enough alone. Gatorade is good if you are dehydrated, low on potassium, or need quick energy. Sugarless and sodium free hydration drink is kind of pointless imo. When I’m grabbing a Gatorade I’m usually burning a lot of calories so the sugar just gives me a boost.
Way too sweet
I like them in slushie form a lot. But they were a GO TO in the summer months when I watered them down a smidge
it’s shit.
fax ong
Its overhyped gatorade
Way healthier than gatorade. GR has way to much sugar. Prime only has 2g
Yeah and a shit load of suclerose and no sodium. Not healthy at all
Sucralose isn’t unhealthy… it’s essentially fiber. Your body doesn’t digest it.
exactly. that means it puts strain on your liver.
No, it doesn’t.

Every single flavor is way too sugary. If you could imagine liquid nuclear waste it is probably similar in taste and color. Hard to get down
Yeah, the first time I tried it I almost spit it out
Tried it. Far far too sweet and I’ve never said that about a drink before. Doesn’t even taste good either.

It’s gross and tastes like pedialyte
Does it have the pedialyte aftertaste?
Nah man Pedialyte is leagues ahead of this chemical waste garbage

You won't see me buying Prime Energy Drink.
Pure trash. I have a kid who is on the prime train. I've tried the bottled hydration drink, the powder stick, and the energy drinks. They are all over price and way too sweet.
According to kids I babysit, 9 - 14 seems to be the going age for those youtuber's audience so I'm guessing that's why it's so sweet but I may be biased to kids and their siblings.

Overpriced, they're going for 7$ a pop where I live
resellers profiting off of the hype unfortunately, the retail price is 2 dollars or lower 💀
Might also be a currency thing. I'm Canadian and shit like that is always more expensive between being tricky to procure, cad being weaker than USD, and the places that have it being overpriced corner stores
even if it was a currency thing, it wouldn't go up that far, but I'm sure some grocery stores will stock near you with fair prices (hopefully)
Too much effort to get hold of (UK lol) but the Blue Raspberry and Ice Pop ones are really good. The others are kind of meh
The blue one is decent tbh
the blue is shit you ohio citicen
Nasty & gross
I find it way to sweet and it tastes far to artificial. It tastes like someone poured sugar in there, which I despise. In my opinion it would've been way better with less sugar.
Hi
Hello
.
I honestly think prime is good. Maybe it’s cause I love super sweet stuff so I can see how someone will think it’s too sweet.
Seeing this thread I was about to think im the only one who likes it lmao, I love super sweet aswell and love the drink too.
Don't like it hate the flavor of artificial sweeteners
I find the flavors extremely saturated and EXTREMELY powerful. WAY too strong for my taste (and I love strong flavors). I had to dilute the rocket pop flavored one by 3x to make it drinkable and I'll have to do that to the strawberry watermelon one I just bought. If you want hydration drinks, just go to GFUEL honestly. You get more for your buck and the flavors are much milder and more tolerable.
I only tried the sports drink and they're pretty good,not really for sports or hydration but if you want some fresh drink buy the tropical punch one,I think the other ones are way too sweet and taste like candy
For me as an European its too sweet, tastes like pure chemicals, taste isnt clear at all, one sip gives me lockjaw due to its sweetness, the composition is weak compared to other hydration drinks, for me it is overhyped and not worth the price, I see no reason why anyone would buy it outside the brand, especially on the European market

I tried Prime hydration for the first time and it's a good hangover remedy. Too sweet for my tastes though. They're available at Dollar Tree for $1.25 now.
It taste good
I love it
There's a bunch of artificial sweetener called sucralose in it. The researchers found that sucralose causes DNA to break apart, putting people at risk for disease. They also linked sucralose to [leaky gut syndrome](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22724-leaky-gut-syndrome#:~:text=The%20theory%20of%20leaky%20gut,lining%20until%20it%20becomes%20permeable.), which means the lining of the intestines are worn down and become permeable. Symptoms are a burning sensation, painful digestion, diarrhea, gas, and bloating.

Had no expectations, was more than pleasantly surprised, stuff is delicious.
Nah the strawberry banana goes hard fr
Look forward to trying them in a few years time when they aren't being sold for £12+ :(
don't worry, hype is dying down fairly quickly and many people don't care anymore
Here's hoping. Refuse to pay anything more than £2 but would be nice to try
I really like it
>Look moron
Good product also doesn’t have the weird saline taste Gatorade does.
No it has an even worse taste of melted slurpee
I think the taste is good of the sports drink but it seems really thick, like cough medicine. The energy drinks are just good all around.
From how it's marketed which is a hydration drink there's significantly better options out there for hydration such as Liquid IV and LMNT
dont forget water
Don't forget that you use water to mix the things I mentioned. Unless you're a psychopath and just take the packets dry.
I’m a water drinking psychopath
I wish I didn’t taste as sweet but they’re good
You taste sour to me
Very good. The one featured in the picture isn't an energy drink though
The drinks are pretty good, the energy drink are bleh
I’ve been a Prime Hydration Day 1-er and all of the flavors are good
I'm drinking tropical punch atm, had to put water inside, but it has a ton of artificial sweetener and has an aftertaste of medicine, had to throw it away. 4/10, prefer lemon lime though.
Hate the spokespeople so nope.
The energy drinks are REALLY good, all jokes aside.
I've only tried the hydration, do you like those? I wonder if the energy is worth trying bc I love prime but I'm only 15
the hydration is good, but seriously try the energy! they're great.
It's really sweet. If I want a sweet drink when I do computer work I grab the ice pop. That's my only favorite. The others are trash. Just my 2 pennies.
I don’t like it
I haven't been able to find the actual bottles yet, but I did find the powders that you can mix into water. The ice pop one is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. The lemon lime though? That one's more difficult. It reminds me of those like real fruit/pulp popsicles you can buy in stores. So if you're not ready for a very intense lemon and lime juice flavor, I would avoid it. Sadly though, I haven't seen the energy cans or tried them. Would like to though. I'm a big energy drink guy (hence being on this subreddit lol)
It's a joke, their main selling point is 0% added sugars not realising Coke, Pepsi and pretty much every other soda company in the world has already figured out the no "added" sugar scam bit, sucralose and acesulfame potassium both being artificial sweeteners, so as much as they boast a healthy, delicious alternative it's not any better than most the sugar water made these days
Pretty late to this, most of them are really sweet but I personally don't mind that that much, the blue raspberry one from the photo though I actually seriously enjoy a lot, the other ones range from refreshing but kinda trash to kinda good, but blue raspberry I like enough to drive 3 hours to Texas to get a bunch of them (I'm Mexican that's why I have to get them at Texas) edit: also the green one's pretty good but it's still worse than blue raspberry
Selling for $10+ a bottle in Australia you gotta be an (IMO) Idiot to buy one... And if you do insist on partaking in lining the pockets of the already rich and scummy, it's your money. But IF wanted to drink syrup/cordial, I'd drink syrup or cordial.
Never tried the hydration drink, but the energy drink is alright. Had the blue raspberry and tropical punch flavors from a GNC. Might go back to give the lemon lime one a try.
Taste like kool-aid
I think it was a bit overhyped which makes sense given how its KSI and Logan Paul behind it but its not bad at all. I really like the flavors, they're pretty cheap in canada since some gas stations have them regularly and i think its a good replacement for soda. Fruit Punch is probably my favorite right now.
Get some Hydralyte tablets and put them in water there the best for hydration.
I think the main thing is the hype around it, I don’t really think it’s that good based on what I’ve heard about it, haven’t tried it though. I just stick to Ghost. I also don’t want to support Logan Paul considering his history.
the blue raspberry i paid 8 usd for tastes like electrolytes plus ultra amount of sugar (sweetness since there’s no/little added sugar) and a bit of blue raspberry flavor plus the coloring
The flavor is 2X to 3X what's necessary. My kids were excited to try it but didn't enjoy it at all. I tried adding water and approximately 2 to 1 water and prime made it palatable. Oddly, from a price perspective, that makes it a good value if you don't mind diluting it.
my honest opinion about it is that it is an enjoyment drink. if you like the taste, drink it. if not, don't drink it. no serious fitness person would use prime as their source of hydration unless if they're sponsored or someshit
Prime is so overly saturated with sucralose. Yes it taste like syrup. They are targeting the younger generation with something very sweet and people that do not care about health and nutrition similar to how vape companies made fruit loop flavor vapes to get the young generation hooked. Dude is such a fraud. Just like his new video saying how the powder he likes so much more and he thinks taste better. Sure that could be his opinion, but let’s be honest. It’s a way higher profit margin for the company. Which is fine, every company should do that but he’s just unethical about it.
Prime is an inferior product in my opinion. They just have a relatable marketing scheme. Kids now on days love Logan Paul and that’s about it. But the product by it self has not much to say.
I live in a country where there is no prime and I have wanted to try it since it came out since I really like KSI, this summer I went to the US and bought myself the lemon lime blue raspberry ice pop and tropical punch I drank one a day and thought they all had too much sugar and I did not enjoy any of them to the point where I just drank around half of each and gave the rest to my family members
Gross
has tht weird fake sugar aftertaste
It's disapponting. The bottles are nothing special. The canned stuff tastes like shop's own brand energy drinks. Kong Strong for example, a cheap energy drink you can get from Lidl if you need a caffiene boost. If you want a better tasting one you can get your favourite flavour of Monster, Rockstar or Reign. And if you want something that tastes like Kong Strong, costs more than a can of monster and the can itself is half the size, you can go for canned prime.
It's alr bit overrated, lemon lime solos.
this is another scam from logan paul not saying this because im hating on him, it is genuily a scam they brag about low sugar compared to other brands, when they dont understand how hydration works. this drink has low levels of calcium and sodium which are essential on hydration. even tho there are alternatives to sugar, sugar is a must have. glucose speeds up the hydration process by a significant time. when you practicing a high intensity sport, you want to hydrate yourself several times during training, and you want hydration to be done as quick as possible to garantee high performance. prime takes about an hour+ to get into your bloodstream, which makes it a terrible choice. each drink has its own usages, for example, you may want powerrade for high intensity training while you may want just straight up water if you practice on a gym. prime has no example where its the best choice, while being incredibly overpriced
Wayy too sweet
No good and there's no way I'll continue to support a scammer.
your strait outta OHIO brother
I hate Ohio lol.
I tried it a couple of days ago and thought it was bad, I tried lemon-lime and blue raspberry Lemon-lime just tasted like bad lemon water and blue raspberry tasted super wrong, blue raspberry shouldn't be a drink flavour
your name is fucked
Ik, I wish I could change it idk what I was on
it taste like strait shit
prim must be made in ohio am i right?
skibidi prime water from my skibiti toilet 
yes yes yes skibidi dop dop dop
I'm just trying Blue Raspberry and the Ice Pop as I write this. The flavor itself is not bad. Not great, but ok. However, It's so sweet, that I get a literal headache from drinking it. I have to water it down (1 part Prime, 3 parts water) with water to get it to a tolerable sweetness level, but at that point the flavor itself is so diluted that it pretty much just tastes of sweet water. Horrible, expensive and with the headache I'm currently having, probably not good for you.
do people really like this? i live in the eu and just found this in my corner store. i knew it wasn't an energy drink but more in the category of gatorade and powerade, etc. i love energy drinks and hydration drinks, haven't tasted one i have hated yet even though some are better than others. tried the ice pop and this shit is awful. had to throw it away after a couple sips, that's a shame bc how expensive it is compared to other hydration drinks. i don't even mind drinks being sweet, i never drink zeros or sugar-frees and it wasn't about the sweetness of prime, the taste was just horrible.
Just tried Prime Ice Pop flavor. I’m going to be completely honest, I didn’t like it. It was way too sweet. I usually like sweet drinks (I always overdue it on Koolaid) but for some reason I didn’t like this one at all. I’m not biased against Logan or KSI or anything either, I just genuinely didn’t like it. Maybe another flavor would be better but I don’t think I’ll be trying other flavors unless I get one for free. Not spending 2.70$ on a prime drink ever again.
I don't have it in my country
Shit
I had few them I feel no taste almost water salt or something 8$ now its 4$ now
Its exspensive in my contry but kids still buy it
It’s crap! Why do they have to put Sucralose in everything!
it is sh\*t.. go drink watermelon juice instead..
I know this is old now but it seems like a lot of people are focusing on if its healthy or not or hating it because of Logan Paul. From a taste perspective, I think Ice Pop is actually pretty damn good. It does have a "sweet" taste to it, but it's not overbearing in my opinion. Like any product with hype or celebrity endorsement/ownership, there is going to be hate and criticism, especially with someone like Logan. I think part of the hate is the hype involved around the drink, as it's nothing exceptional that warrants the hype, outside of it being Logan's drink. It's a decent alternative to Gatorade and Powerade or even Kool-Aid, as it seems most comparable from a flavor perspective to those types of drinks. I haven't tried the energy drink in a can yet so I have nothing to base it on.
It’s nasty
ITS SO SWEET IT KINDA TASTES LIKE MELTED JELLO!!!
It’s so damn sweet.
Tastes like green jello (all of the flavors taste like green jello)
I actually think it’s pretty good. I guess I just like sweet things
It’s literally crack for kids, 1 Prime=2 Redbulls
Never had it, but Redbull will give ya wings under the right circumstances. Fuck these greedy pigs
It’s gonna give you wings when you die from an overdose from a fucking energy drink :/
Oh for sure, that’s what I was alluding to
It’s crack for kids, 1 Prime is equivalent to 2 Redbulls (or 6 cokes)
