I get the lemonade version sometimes and it only has a couple of grams of sugar, iirc. I like it for hikes and things like that. Usually I'll get the powder packs and put some in my water bottle.

Well, they can't sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.

Who is Logan Paul?

Guess it's some YouTube influencer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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...

Gooooddddammit, I actually didn't mind the PRIME electrolyte powder for when I'm sweating like mad (brought it to Burning Man this year), but Logan goddamn Paul owns it? Fuck I hate that guy

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

FYI they advertise it as "electrolytes" because it's full of potassium and has next to no sodium, which is the main thing you lose when sweating, and they do that to say it's sodium free while still having "electrolytes"

Prime's got what plants crave - it's got electrolytes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Came to comments for this line specifically.

A truck loaded with water bottles is more useful than Prime bottles, think it a little, for medial reasons some people can't drink hyper sugar shit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Really, no one should be drinking high sugar drinks. Even stuff like juice should be a once in a while thing. I'm as guilty of it as almost everyone else, I admit. Hard to break that sugar addiction.

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.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Isn't prime caffeinated? That's dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (4 children)

The cans have caffeine. The bottles don't. Pic looks like the bottles.

Still tons of sugar though.

I don't think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.

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)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a caffeinated version of it and a 'electrolyte' version, afaik

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A good, it's got what plants crave

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was just making that joke

sugar water sold by Youtubers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It’s some kind of energy drink

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh... why would that be handy when water and actual food is going to be useful/needed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It wouldn't, but the energy drink version isn't what's in the picture anyways; it's basically Gatorade but sweeter

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

1: the guys making it have a minimum purchase every month.

2: they keep selling less than that, costing them money.

3: charitable gifts are tax deductible

Zoomers: "don't put this evil on me. Blame the alphas"
Alphas: "I didn't ask for this shit"

Owned by millennials, marketed to zoomers, primarily consumed by gen alpha.
