Where on earth can I get Prime drink at?

[baxtersm]

My 13 year old hasn't really asked for anything much for Christmas but he wrote a letter to keep his little sister happy. He puts clothes, headphones and some sort of Prime energy drink him and has mates are all mad for. He's not allowed energy drinks and he knows this but I thought I'd buy him one bottle just for fun, and to keep the magic alive for the little one (she would know that I would NEVER buy him that so it keeps Santa alive). However the only place I can get the stuff at is Amazon at 28.99 a bottle!!!!! What is this stuff and why is it so popular? And where can it be bought at a normal price?

Wonder if you could get someone to ship it from the states? A mate of mine works at a us grocery store, its $2 a bottle and always in stock.

We’ve only been able to get it on Facebook market place, price ranges between £5 and £10 a bottle!

I’ve got another load coming from the states but it won’t be here till After Christmas. Il send you one if you message me. I’m not writing on here how much my kids are selling them for because Il get lynched .. but il nick one out the box ! but I’ve had some good news today and I believe in passing on good luck ! Xxx

That’s such a lovely thing to do! Xx

So this is what's all about!
My son came home from school with a bottle of Prime. He was so excited!
I had no idea what he was on about, never heard of it, and he said it was really hard to get. I told him (sensibly) I can get it on Amazon Prime...surely😭

I've still not managed to get it and would love some for my Ds and his brother. We saw it in Liverpool and he was so excited but it was £12 a bottle for red and £15.99 for some new flavour! Anyone who has it in their Asda and wouldn't mind sharing location would be ace 🙏

Ds12 hasn't tried it yet but specially told me not to get it for Xmas present. Apparently that is what everyone wants. I know he would like to try it but I am waiting it to be more wildly available.

I mean, there's a thriving black market in the stuff among the year 8 pupils at my work... It's not even always shoplifted either😆

Dh got 3 bottles from our local Asda this morning. Round here if you go early doors you’ve got a decent chance of grabbing some.

Are you willing to say whereabouts this is?

Asda. £2. But only at certain times. Ours is at 11am.

Don't wait till Christmas OP. Give it to him now. It really is best. He'll thank you for it. An early Christmas present. It's not a sin.

@Polkadotpjs Im in Hull, East Yorkshire.

We all knows it's rubbish. But there are crazes. Hammer beads, pikachu. All drivel.

We got some in our local Budgens. I am too embarrassed to say how much it was.

My two boys were absolutely thrilled! East of England.

It's popular with young teens as it's made by (or maybe sponsored by) a famous YouTuber or two.

It went viral with young teens and now they all want it as some weird status symbol.

Apparently it's not even that nice.

Nothing to do with the thread but...

Would love some for my Ds and his brother.

Does the DS mean son?

Which aisle would it be in, in Asda? I've got to go early doors on Thursday.

Same, same

I have a 14 year old brother who really wants some. If anyone knows anywhere around west London/ Middlesex that may have some.

@baxtersm I googled and although it's sold as a sports drink (mainly just has poncey ingredients like coconut water to give a bit of potassium/sodium) it's not an energy drink like Red Bull or Monster. It's more like Powerade. www.downtimebros.com/is-prime-hydration-an-energy-drink-and-is-it-good-for-you/

It contains no caffeine. I hope that reassures you.

My local Asda has it!

There is nothing better than getting your hands on something they really want, even if you do think its absolute shite! £2 a bottle is bargain want as well i remember when mine wanted furbys and hatchimals omg hours of hunting for the annoying plastic bits of crap, it was like winning the lotto when we found them though 😂

That is so kind!
