reminds me of that brain rot drink Prime. Still surprised to this day how a fucking energy drink became a sensation among 10 year olds. probably wonders of social media.
You got Cred!?
Prime in particular is one of the most disgusting things I have ever consumed. The texture is like someone spit in a cup. I am a total energy drink addict, but prime makes no fucking sense to me.
Is that the crap that has the Ice pop flavor? The people I know at a local sports group drink it like it's liquefied candy at halloween. These folks range from middle-aged to retirees. The effects of its advertising in my parents' age group are apparent and it is just as insidious as in the young children.
Boomers were very heavily propagandized.
probably, it has all sorts of weird flavors and targets anyone else other than adult sports drink consumers despite being the most caffeinated sports drink
Gotta credit Meme Zee for that, between others.
I work at a university and have long seen Prime carried around. Only a few days ago I learned that Mr Beast owns it and is being heavily sued for bad behavior.
Mr beast does not own it. Its two other influencers Logan sth and another guy. If he collaborated with them or bought it later, I don't know. Also I dont know if Mr Beast is being sued because of bad behaviour but he is being sued for failing some contractual obligations. He is also suing some other people who called him out for being a sociopath.
