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. Now when you go to a shop that sells Prime, it's now always fully stocked because no one wants to buy it anymore.

There’s a actually a study done that shows drinking the same amount of water and gatorade, you will have the same hydration levels.

Fruits are really good for hydration especially melons like watermelon and cantaloupe.
@TorqueTalkTV10 ай бұрын
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.

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.

Think it's also important to point out the large amounts of caffeine in prime. Not only is it not an adequate hydration drink but it is giving the target market i.e. kids, large doses of caffeine which obviously gives them a buzz and keeps them coming back to buy it. Also, the caffeine gives the sensation that you feel energised but is packaged up as 'hydration'. So bottom line is you're not hydrated you're on a caffeine high!
