Wtf is prime?
sugar water sold by Youtubers
Zoomer Gatorade.
Zoomers: "don't put this evil on me. Blame the alphas"
Alphas: "I didn't ask for this shit"
Owned by millennials, marketed to zoomers, primarily consumed by gen alpha.
With extra sugar
It only has 20 calories. I’m all for hating on Prime, but it’s not heavy in sugar at all. Definitely fake sugars. And heavy on caffeine.
The thing about fake sugar is that it's arguably worse for you than the real thing. Fake sugar should really only be prized by diabetics and dentists.
I dunno. I like drinking Coke Zero cocktails when I’m trying to lose weight. It works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah yes, the "we made rats eat 20kg of aspartame and they died" thing
First of all, you are referencing a study on saccharine, not aspartame.
Secondly, this is about obesity.

Idk, doesn't seem that damning to me considering that people who have more body fat might tend to consume more artificial sweetener and other such factors.
Don't have the time to look into the particular paper and other research right now though.
The basic and essentially unavoidable problem with artificial sweeteners is that tasting sweet food triggers the release of insulin, which then tanks your blood sugar level because you didn't eat any actual sugar, which then makes you hungry, causing you to eat more.
The best way to try and compensate for that is to pair artificial sweeteners with complex carbohydrates and large amounts of fiber, which is of course not how they are usually used
Oh, I didn't realize it was mostly artificial sweeteners. I just remembered trying it, and finding it cloyingly sweet compared to gatorade
It’s some kind of energy drink
Oh... why would that be handy when water and actual food is going to be useful/needed?
1: the guys making it have a minimum purchase every month.
2: they keep selling less than that, costing them money.
3: charitable gifts are tax deductible
I don't think they have issues with selling enough. This shit is huge among children.
Pfffft, Prime is SO 2023: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteoric-rise-stunning-fall-prime-130900275.html
It wouldn't, but the energy drink version isn't what's in the picture anyways; it's basically Gatorade but sweeter
It isn't an energy drink, because it doesn't have caffeineor sugar. The producer calls it a "hydration drink" which I suppose is somehow different from a "drink".
A signal the person consuming it is prepared to be sold whatever you are offering.
The most disgusting energy drink on the market.
