Anyone Know Why Everybodys Obsessed with Prime!

Other

My children really want this prime drink.Today we woke up at 06:00 to just try and get hold of this popular hydration drink ,we had driven to our local sainsburys to find out they didn’t receive the stock.So far they have tried 2 flavours (the red and the blue).I think in a couple of moths you would be able to get it everywhere.Our local sainsburys are apparently getting stock on Thursday but it will probably be all gone!I also believe this is going to be trend everybody goes mad for , then it goes down hill !

I seen on Facebook that some women is selling them £10 per bottle honestly couldn't believe it it's a flavoured water I have no idea what the big deal is I wouldn't even waste my money on one of them and it's meant to be for only over 18 years old anyway so dunno so many parents are trying there best to get it

Just a gimmick aimed at kids, clever marketing.

I'm dreading my kids getting to this age. I've seen articles where people have paid stupid amounts of money to get these drinks.

You inspired us to create a competition to win 3 bottles of PRIME! Perhaps you can enter and you never know, might win for your kids 😄

There's been hype around the brand for ages and doesn't seem to be settling currently. As you said Sainsbury's got stock today but my local said they sold out by 06.30 am.

Wakey Wines not far from me has been selling it for £20 a bottle.

My lads got hold of some early on from someone who worked in Asda, it doesn't taste particular good, I think as soon as it becomes widely available it's won't sell particular well, it's definitely because it's hard to get hold and all over social media that it's popular. Pretty sure by now they could easily produce enough to supply the demand but they don't on purpose to create more hype.

Ooooh thanks Tom, I was put off buying them at the moment for the hype and wasn't going to queue up or spend my money, but a chance of winning them is different 👀 would be pretty cool!

I don't know what the hype is about to be honest, there is always a fab or faze with certain products it may be the influences that created it, not the actual product itself. As I've heard people say it tastes horrible and the kids usually want to collect the empty bottles more than anything.

I'm surprised the amount of parents that are going out of their way to queue or spend so much on them, when I was a child I could like or wish for things, but didn't mean we got it. Didn't matter that lots of other people had it. Not aiming this at anyone in particular right now but I do think lots of parents give in a lot more these days and it isn't always healthy for the children. (The giving in not the actual product!)

It’s just because it’s “cool” at school at the moment. We bought three bottles today for the competition prize, £10 each! 😭

I was in Sainsbury earlier and there was 2 pallets full of Prime, I didn't buy any but spoke to the lady on customer service and they were limiting them to 3 bottles per person. They said the same man had come in 3 times wearing different jackets but they still recognised him, another customer was buying them to sell in his own shop for £10, madness.

I am sick of hearing about Prime, Wakey Wines, KSI and who’s getting stock next 🙈 my kids had me all over the place looking for it! I wouldn’t mind, but I could make them a sachet of blackcurrant Dioralyte and it is practically the same thing! Money making at its best! And those selling them on at ridiculous prices should be ashamed of themselves! Thanks… rant over 😆🙈

It’s just effective online advertising and taking advantage of vulnerable children who then nag their baffled parents

I remember TY beanie bears being a big fad as collectibles years ago, now you cannot give them away

They were even on the shopping channel

This video was from the USA

There are some exceptions i have posted the link below

Numbers 12, 23, 35 and 37 are ridiculous values, but i suppose someone will pay the prices

No 12 , the Royal Princess bear seems to be the most collectible and expensive if you have a spare

$970,000

We got hooked on getting the Beanie Bears craze and in our local shop you had to buy so many of the normal beanie babies to then buy a bear, I’ve got hundreds (well it must be close) in tubs in the roof

Seems madness now but that was the craze at the time 😂

Parents shouldn't be letting their kids drink these there's far too much caffeine in them. Plus anybody paying £10 for flavoured water would have to be clinically insane!

Sh2002 I thought that too but when I checked it out I found there is no caffeine in them. Earlier ones did apparently contain caffeine though.

Seen plenty on FB and such selling for ridiculous prices and also there is a reason it's not suitable for under 16yr olds due to what's in it.

lucky77777 Sounds like there is a lot of profit for someone somewhere. I was expecting high levels of caffeine or taurine or something.

I suppose if you have a very high disposable income its ok to waste money like this but often you see people who don't have high disposable incomes yet follow trends like this and waste money they don't have.
