The first Starbucks in Norway was at an airport outside of the capital, about 20-ish minutes by train each way. Kids (teens) would make the trip early in the morning so they could show up with a starbucks drink at school, it would easily take more than an hour in total for a drink that would be ruined by the time they made it to school. There were plenty of much better coffee shops in the city, and when Starbucks opened everywhere it lost it's status and is nowhere near as popular. This reminds me of that, just way crazier.

Brit here. I went in to an ASDA (a.k.a Walmart to US folks) the other day and there were a few bottles left on the shelf. My friend and I were joking that we should buy the 6 or so remaining bottles at £2 each to sell them on for a profit, before walking away disinterested. A kid of maybe 8 or 9yrs old ran up to the shelf and moments later was running to the till, almost jumping for joy with a bottle in each hand. It’s fascinating and disheartening in equal measure how much influence social media ‘celebrities’ have over children now. Parents must simply be enabling their kids by buying it at any price, I don’t understand how it could be so hyped here otherwise…

[@TheBrownsword]

Agreed, when I was a lad just because I wanted something didn’t mean I automatically got it. Parents do not discipline kids these days in this country and it fucking shows. They ask, they get, if they don’t get, they cry or act out until they get. It’s pathetic.

[@raym3239]

@@TheBrownsword Can confirm. I work in retail. Someone left an empty bottle of the stuff on a shelf and we got actual complaints by kids for not having more of it. We don't even stock it in our store and these were kids from the nearby high-school. Needless to say, their bad behaviour will have it's consequences, but it's entirely unwarranted.

This is something people who came from a poor community end up doing, I've seen it too many times. The people with the most money who used to have the least need people to know they aren't who they were but what they buy.

[@Zachebi]

Wtf is with all these comments against lower class in the comments, how much do you make a year?

[@olivetaster]

Its not hatred of lower classes, it's just a common phenomenon in class mobility and using consumer products as a source of status image.

It’s literally not even worth it. You’re better off buying pedialyte. The fact that Logan Paul continues to scam people and get away with it is ridiculous

[@MYTUBE427]

Ohhhhhhh that one dude had a super good point. It’s not even the kids’ money like 89% of the time it’s gonna probably be their parents’ money - wayyy less of a constructive life lesson that way

[@AmazinglyAwkward]

There's two types of abusive parents - the ones everyone thinks of and then there's the parents who can't say no to their kids. It's abusive in a sense because best case scenario it raises their kids hopes up that they'll always get what they want and then they'll be crushed when reality says that isn't how this works and worse case scenario they'll make their kid a narcissist

[@toon_joe]

I'm living in Ireland and I work in a book/sweetshop, we've had loads of kids swamp the store asking for prime. We're getting it in stock soon apparently so I can only imagine the havoc that will be wrecked upon us once that day comes

[@kazooyed4542]

Here’s the rub, I work at Morrisons in the uk. We recently got a limited shipment of prime. About half a pallet. It was later announced we would sell 500 bottles. We lined them all up on the isle end, market price was £2. And lo and behold, we see an army of children, renters, wanna be road men climb over each other for Logan Paul and Ksi’s drink. They’re purposely not making this drink easy to buy to incentivise purchase, and to make it seem like a status symbol. It’s just Powerade. I asked the district manager when we’d get more prime in, and they said “once every 2 months.” It’s not worth it, it’s shite, and there’s better drinks I promise.

[@fungalcoffee]

I avoid buying stuff with celebrity or influencers names on them so this is just even more wild to me.

Exactly, most celebrity branded stuff is actually generic weaksauce with their name slapped on it. That’s been a thing for years

[@Keggarz]

It’s pathetic. Get famous you can push/sell anything with a load of brain dead followers behind it who just don’t know any better. Quite embarrassing.

[@SalivaHole]

the fact that The Wolf of Warwick tried to sound humble when he said "I've got a shop, MY DAD BOUGHT ME A SHOP. I work very hard and I don't sell drugs now"

[@chloered5100]

They’ve started selling prime in vape shops where I live for mad prices. There’s literally kids going in to the shops and nearly scrapping with the vape shop owners over how expensive they are, when they def aren’t old enough to even be in there. It’s such a scam seeing all these shops hopping on the trend to take advantage of kids but honestly I don’t even know where they get the money to allow the shops to keep charging that much

[@petrolhead0387]

A workmate of mine bought a whole box of Prime and posted a video on twitter of him taking a sip, spitting it out, then proceeding to pour the whole lot down the drain 😂 The backlash from kids was insane, like they think this stuff is holy life giving liquid, it's just FEKKIN SUGAR YOU SAD LITTLE CABBAGES. They sent him death threats and threatened to gRape his wife and daughters, it absolutely blew my mind that they would react like this over a shitty drink.
