More like he didn't want to get half way thru the transaction, just to have to void it, when the pissed off customer screams, "WTF do you mean $20 plus tax?!?!?!?!" In my brief stint as a cashier in a convenience store, I would often warn people of pricing when it seemed there was a good chance they most likely had ZERO clue about insanely bloated convenience store pricing. The only possible downside is easily offended MF'ers that think you're assuming they're poor, and say shit like "Wutchoo think I can't afford it?!?!?!". Sometimes, ya just can't win.

I saw on Facebook marketplace that, some people were selling it for 100 rand a bottle.

4 cups of water. ½ teaspoon table salt. 2 Tablespoons of sugar. That's the mixture you'd take if rehydrating from vomiting etc. Add some fresh lemon juice and you've made some low sugar lemonade.

To quote a Fallout character. If you want to stay hydrated: *"DRINK. SOME. WATER."*

Last thing to note, the reason they are selling this as a sports drink and not some sort of juice is because sports drinks are less regulated compared to thinks like fruit juice or soda's.

Yeah for the price this does seem to be the best fit. Ordered the 3 flavor sample pack. Good shout 🤙

4:15 I'd just like to point out that when it comes to the sugars, Sucrose actually holds more energy than glucose does, so its technically better to consume sucrose instead of glucose when rehydrating. However, in reality the difference isn't that much bigger so it really doesn't matter which you consume. Just wanted to point out that small fact. Fructose comes in third place between the 3

What's even worse is the amount of moldy bottles that are appearing on the market. There's lots of clips online showing this. They're literally poisoning people.

There’s a actually a study done that shows drinking the same amount of water and gatorade, you will have the same hydration levels. I’m not a doctor but it would probably be best to avoid all the artificial colors and ingredients. Your best choice for hydration is natural spring water or real fruit juices. Fruits are really good for hydration especially melons like watermelon and cantaloupe.

Also forgot to mention the only reason sports drinks like Gatorade absorb more quickly into your body than water is because it’s full of artificial ingredients which are modified to do that but just give it a quick google, artificial ingredients are directly linked to certain types of cancer, nervous system issues like insomnia, hyperactivity, and irritability, respiratory issues like asthma, and a bunch of other stuff. If your in sports it’s probably not a good idea to drink stuff like this all the time. Do with that what you will don’t take my word for it go look it up. You don’t need a medical degree to be informed on the things your putting in your body.

So informative and helpful really enjoyed this video and it has indeed opened my eyes due to how easy it was to follow

I work in a primary school in the UK. Nine and ten year olds are going crazy for this stuff. The small grocery shop nearest the school has a huge display rack and the kids are collecting one of every colour bottle and bringing them in as their ‘water bottles’. Kids are getting picked on for not having them. We’ve even had parents coming up and complaining that their kids have lost a prime bottle that they paid £10 for. It’s terrifying how much power someone like Logan Paul has, without any oversight whatsoever.

Chemistry person here (uneducated formerly) a quick look at the ingredients clearly shows that prime is just hyper addictive sugar water.

The thing is that as informative as this video is making great solid points the reality is that the target market is the youngsters who dont know better and are influenced by their favorite internet idols and that more often than not is tough to compete with even when you have all the facts.

I used to be water only then started playing around with different hydration solutions depending on my activity. I sweat a lot but it’s not overly salty. I started using diluted Powerade and Gatorade then over the last couple of years I have been buying EAA/Electrolyte powder and carb powder and making my own drinks up depending on what I need. It’s brilliant as was said you can choose your own ratio. My EAA/Electolyte powder is $60 a tub and I’ll get 50-60l per tub. The carb powder is $20 and might last me 4 months. Add water and it’s stupid cheap.

Great content loving the way you explain things so that ordinary folk like me can understand.

Excellent video! Appreciate the breakdown. Here in the deserts of New Mexico, we buy the $9 can of powder Gatorade that makes 5 gallons. DIY to-go packets or wash and reuse bottles.

Water is free.. and all the rumours about it say that it can hydrate you. Does anyone know where to get it?

These things appeared everywhere in US stores pretty much overnight. I was definitely drawn in by the packaging and had no idea it was by Logan Paul (glad now I didn't buy it!) Will stick to the classic hydration bevs, thanks for the in-depth critique!

I don't exercise nearly as often as I should, and I haven't been interested in training for about 10 years. Still - this is the best video I've seen in as long as I can remember. Top-tier tips. Luckily enough, my doctor taught me the whole "add salt to water"-thing when I struggled with dehydration years ago. Absolute lifesaver

I’m a stick with no interest in personal training, and no idea how or why I watched this. But you sir are clearly a nice bloke, very clever and you present the info perfectly!!!

6:05 Sodium and glucose IV's are given seperately here in the Netherlands (and i think in most of the world) While there are IV's that contain both glucose and salt i rarely see them used, just isotonic salt IVs are just as effective as the ones with sugar. Most patients will recieve a 0.9% NaCl IV, glucose is rarely used, mostly for patients that need reduced salt intake.

Prime is more on trends because it's target is teens and minors who doesn't know anything and just buy them because that's what their fave youtubers use or owns. And that's scary

I used powdered electrolytes from Bulk. I put 2 heaped scoops into 1L of drink, I usually use Don Simon blue lemonade and normal lemonade for glucose mixed 50/50. Best hydration drink I've tried. Got me off those energy drinks etc haven't touched them in ages.

Cue song "$10" by Hitchhiker. You're welcome. When i last ran marathon several years ago i made lemonade or dilute apple juice. But it looks like it's not quite right and i should use sodium glucose and maybe some flavouring. Creatine? I guess but i don't need it in the same drink.

Not to mention the plastic saved by using hydrations tabs/powder and a reusable bottle.

As a teen living in Namibia (Africa) Prime is considered a "luxury drink" by teens cause it's expensive & it's made by 2 famous people. So guys would buy it to flex instead of actually needing it

By the time the drink gets overstocked in the supermarkets, they've already made their money and then some if a bottle is 10$. Not only that, the stores themselves have to buy it first, so their sales are guaranteed the moment the bottles leave the storage warehouses unless the stores have a deal which states the producer only gets paid when the product itself sells at the store, meaning the store isn't the one who handles most of the risk - and news flash, these days almost no store gets that deal anymore due to online shops. In other words, over stocked stores doesn't mean Paul and his gang of goons didn't get their money. The stores themselves are the ones left hanging since they purchased the stock but can't sell it. So yes, they've made their money and then some by the time the stores are over stocked. The only way they'd ever lose money at this point is if they don't stop production the moment they get no orders from stores or online sales. It's like trying to scream bloody murder when the body's been there for at least a week and the murderers are already chilling half way across the globe.

Sensational video. Well done, James. This is an important message for people who get swayed by the branding and marketing. Always vital to do research and this video will help so many people!

Great video, well spoken, and delivered the truth. Crazy how marketing can wash our minds

I think the part he's missing is taste, as much as health and hydration is all fine and good the real reason 99% of consumers buy powerade gatorade etc is because they taste good, if they didn't they wouldn't sell for sh*t, now I've personally not tried prime so I won't comment on it's taste but I presume that would be a large selling point, as well as the fancy bottles, in terms of health powerade has plenty of unnatural additives and too much sugar, saying gatorade zero is a better option is also stupid, that just has even worse unnatural sweeteners to make up the taste, if taste wasn't a major priority yes those options would be sufficient but because taste is a major part of the market all these drinks become obsolete, so no point comparing one to the other, in my opinion they're all garbage for your health, powerade and gatorade may provide u with a little more "hydration" than prime but they really are just tasty beverages trying to also cover the sports beverage market, so yes prime may be a scam when they blabber on about it being healthy which may or may not be the point of your video, but regardless the whole industry is a scam from powerade to gatorade to maximus whatever, it's all unhealthy and none of it should be consumed for anything than tasting pleasure.

Bro singlehandedly destroyed all future prime sales of everyone who saw this video.

I hope viewers watch this video until the end because for a minute there I thought you were almost promoting Gatorade and Powerade as THE hydration drinks. Great video!
