    I broke down and bought a pack of Prime to try recently after seeing it everywhere, even in the hands of people I don’t associate with the whole Logan Paul circus.

    It tasted like piss and chemicals. If you’re at all sensitive to the taste of sucralose, it’s like drinking battery acid. I simply cannot fathom how it is as successful as it is.

    edit: typo

      Kids, their taste buds are still developing so when they taste it and don’t instantly vomit they think it tastes good. After that their taste buds are permanently shifted towards those types of flavors, making the problem worse. Should be illegal.

      It’s a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn’t make sense.

      And, y’know, it’s just fully a scam. It’s mostly successful because he’s famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.

        The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.

        I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I’ve had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I’m not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.

      Just a swallow or sip of sucralose I fused drinks can send my to bed in a dark room due to migraines.

      That drink may kill me.

      You need to work on that. That’s not good.
