US vs UK Prime | Food Wars | Insider Food

[@InsiderFood]

In the video, we feature the Lemonade flavor and other items as exclusive to the US. This video was filmed several months ago and was accurate at the time of recording. The Lemonade flavor is now available in the UK as well. We appreciate the feedback from the viewers.

Harry, that is NOT a US bottle. It is a CANADIAN bottle! You can tell because of the fact the CANDIAN ones contain FRENCH and LOOK LIKE A US BOTTLE!

[@NintyGuy999]

Lemonade and orange are in the UK, KSI orange and mango is UK exclusive, the dodgers flavour is Ice Pop repackaged. Prime is only £1.50 in Tesco now so technically cheaper than the US. Costco and bookers also sell the 24 packs in the UK not 12 packs.

[@jasminappleby779]

It’s £2 in my Tesco but £1.50 on Clubcard occasionally. Most supermarkets still stock it at £2 but co-op it’s £3 😂

also £1.50 is not cheaper than $0.99. 75p = 95 cents (former price of prime in my local tesco for the clearance sale)

[@zahidshabir4038]

if you mean the Orange and Mango hydration "KSI limited edition" of Prime that was even sold online on their site with custom KSI and Prime branded bandanas in a gift box then I I am pretty sure they not exclusive to the UK also that is my favourite of the hydration drinks I only got to try it because here in the UK my younger brother at the time it launched was working at One Stop (a subsidiary of Tesco and a chain of corner shops) and they as well as Tesco had recently started selling Prime officially and my brother managed to get his hands on 2 bottles and I still have my empty one a whole year later and if you want to know what it tastes like it was similar to the Rubicon sparkling water of the same flavour but without the fizz and that Rubicon sparkling water is actually really nice especially since it uses the variety of mangoes typically found in South Asia that are 100% yellow when ripe for the peel unlike the ones commonly found in British supermarkets which are a mixture of red, yellow and green for the peel. If you want to try those mangoes which are the type Rubicon Mango fizzy drink and juice also uses go to some South Asian specialist supermarket when those mangoes are in season and they will have imports usually around £1 or something each one of the varieties which is the national fruit of Pakistan is Chaunsa Mangoes

I admit I’m in my 50’s, but I’ve never even heard of Prime. And I drink 1 Monster Ultra (Fiesta or Peachy) a day. And my dr recommended Liquid IV for me, so i do have a variety of the sugar free, and have 1-2 a day. So I am aware of energy and hydration beverages. But not even sure I’ve seen Prime in a store.

[@MTGeomancer]

As they mostly said in the video, it's marketed almost exclusively to kids via "influencers", aka streamers. My daughter has heard of it, and has said she sees kids selling it to other kids every day at school. I'm not sure why, as it's readily available, I've seen it at Sam's Club for example.

[@kyle0091000]

You’re not missing out, it tastes disgusting- stick with monster drinks and others (better flavour and price).

[@jasminappleby779]

Not sure where you’re from, but my local big Tesco puts the Prime at the front door. They’re always in Tesco Express stores now too. Sports Direct sells them (overpriced), Morrisons, Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Aldi. I’ve seen them in all of those stores in the UK

[@itzelise06]

Things i will point out: uk does have an exclusive ksi prime (its black and orange), pretty sure the baseball prime is just a differently packaged ice pop, and the uk has the orange one. I dont know when this was filmed so some flavours like lemonade may not have come to the uk yet but it has now. Also in the US there is an original flavoured energy drink that i dont believe is sold in the UK. Correct me if im wrong about anything :) Edit: unless i missed (if i did im sorry) they didnt really mention the grape flavour (discontinued?) or gold one and the sticks are now being sold in aldi in the UK

[@rogoth01themasterwizard11]

3 major things: 1) these 'drinks' have far too much potassium and in the case of the 'energy drinks' caffeine, to the point they are being investigated for being unfit for human consumption as a result of people drinking these and having heart attacks due to their hearts giving out as a result of the overdose of potassium. 2) they are marketed at kids, and with the aforementioned issues there's more than a few people calling for their sales to be stopped entirely and their marketing to be completely removed due to he potentially severe health implications they can induce. 3) the 'glowberry' specifically, you need to buy a bottle that 'glows in the dark', they are a limited run design and 95% of all bottles sold with this flavour are just plain bottles (as was shown in this video), the glow in the dark bottles have a special foil wrapper around the bottle instead of the normal basic plastic wrap.

@@CJLX805 because i don't know about you, but if an adult willing drinks this shit I couldn't care less about them as it was their decision to ignore medical advice and they are liable for their own choices, a kid doesn't have that authority, and as such should be protected by those who do have that authority, and seeing as kids are the VAST MAJORITY of the market for this product, I would argue that it should under even more scrutiny than other products in the same category. are you genuinely saying that you don't care if a kid drinks this and has a heart attack as a result of the massive dose of potassium they get from drinking it? You sound like a bit of a sociopath if that's what you're advocating.

NO. You are on about the Orange Mango KSI Limited Edition which is my personal favourite and was a limited time release was also sold in the UK and they even sold a special edition version of the bottles in a display box with a KSI and Prime branded bandana in the box. I had the drink without the display box because one of my younger brothers used to work in a One Stop store (a corner shop chain owned by Tesco) shortly after leaving Uni and they OFFICIALLY stocked the drink and he was allowed to keep 2 bottles and gave one to me and my other younger brother to share. The Orange Mango was such a nice flavour and if you want to know how it tastes the closest tasting drink is the Rubicon sparkling Orange Mango but without the fizz and NO the prime hydration version does not taste nothing like the energy drink of the same flavour the hydration tastes closer to Rubicon Sparkling Orange Mango and energy tastes a lot different it doesn't even taste like the Orange Mango energy drink Rubicon sells
