It is worth noting that the IndyBest team hasn’t tried the Prime hydration drinks before so we can’t attest to the taste. If you would like to know a little bit more about the drink before taking a sip, keep reading. As of today (29 December) customers can now head down to their local Aldi store to buy a bottle of the hugely popular sports drink, Prime hydration. For the uninitiated, Prime was first launched by highly subscribed Youtube stars KSI and Logan Paul earlier in 2022. And while the weird and wonderful smorgasboard is updated like clockwork every week, one recent addition has sent shoppers’ excitement into fever-pitch. Described by the sports drink duo as “the perfect boost for any endeavor” to help you “refresh, replenish, and refuel” the Prime hydration drinks contain no added sugar or caffeine, and are now available to buy for £1.99 in blue raspberry, lemon and lime, and ice pop flavours.

Customers 'ran' into Asda stores as all Prime drinks gone in minutes ... (WalesOnline)

Staff have told of how customers have been running into stores in Cardiff to get their hands on the Prime hydration drink which has been caught up in a ...

Asda confirmed that the drink will continue to be on sale at £2 in its stores, while Aldi has said it won’t be restocking the drink. On Friday by 11am all that was left at Asda stores were empty spaces where the Prime drink had been stocked again. Staff at stores at Asda Leckwith and at Cardiff Bay said the Prime drinks had been sold long before that, though. "This isn't the case with Prime, the raspberry, lemon and lime and ice pop was barely present in their respective flavours and every bottle left me with a horrible soapy after taste. Recently, Prime have made it an effort to remind journalists that Prime is not an 'energy' drink but a 'hydration' drink. Another staff member at Aldi in Cardiff Bay said they also weren’t selling the drink on Friday. Like at Aldi supermarkets yesterday, shoppers queued in darkness on Friday morning outside Asda stores to nab the coconut water-based drinks created by Youtube stars KSI and Logan Paul. "However, in my humble opinion there is no denying that it tastes exactly like one. By late morning on Friday, December 30, all of the Prime drinks at Asda stores across Cardiff had run out. The discount chain hadn’t restocked aisles with the drink after all stock went in minutes on Thursday. One staff member at Aldi at Western Avenue in Cardiff said she’d been shocked by the craze and had even been told how calls had been made to the supermarket hoping that bottles could be “reserved”. There are no immediate plans for this to change.”
