Thanks, Logan.

It’s a win win they can fulfill their contractual minimum orders, that they failed to reach last months and can write these off. Win-Win situation.
- Isn't prime caffeinated? That's dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water...
  
  I don't think the main goal is to actually help people. Most likely PR/brand awareness and tax write offs.
  
  The cans have caffeine. The bottles don't. Pic looks like the bottles.
  Still tons of sugar though.
  
  I don't think it is, it's supposed to keep you hydrated, all it is is water with a shit load of sweeteners and flavouring (and allegedly lead)
  
  They have both, the plastic bottles are hydration and the cans are energy drinks

They only did this because they are sitting on a bunch of inventory they can't sell, so they used it for marketing, check out LegalEagle on youtube he has a 20 minute video on the lawsuit they are facing, they agreed a contract to have a custom factory line built then backed off when sales plummeted
- You mean tax deductions.... More lucrative than just biting the loss.
  
  Not sure how the Us tax system works, but I am guessing storing inventory is also not free
  
  Isn't that a good thing in this case? If they lose slightly less money when donating compared to burning the money companies are more likely to donate it.

How the fuck does this guy have a career after the suicide forest video?
- When you're rich you get lots of extra chances.
- Oh man, I remembered that. This guy is horrible.
- You're not concerned about the multi million dollar Bitcoin scam or just didn't know? Dudes up to all sort of shady shit
  
  Lol, I know, it's just amazing the shit this guy gets away with.
- The man has also been involved in numerous scams.
  I'm obviously not his demographic, but my wife (a teacher) says that there are loads of kids 10 and upwards that love Logan Paul and KSI. I think the suicide forest thing predates many of them, or they just don't know/care about it.
- I have recently started watching some streamers. The suicide forest stuff is just par for the course. The entire genre is largely based around doing things you aren’t supposed to do for content.
  In this world of marvel movies, conspiracy theories, and other unreal distractions, there is something both addictive and refreshing about just seeing an unfiltered idiot who is fucking around and finding out. I actually think watching streamers has made me a little more socially confident. If they can be that reckless and have it turn out ok most of the time, then maybe I don’t have to be anxious about things that might happen in public when I’m being reasonably careful.
  
  This sounds interesting to me. Do you mind sharing a couple of examples?

Well, they can't sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.

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"
  
  With extra sugar
- cancer
- A signal the person consuming it is prepared to be sold whatever you are offering.
- It’s some kind of energy drink
  
  Oh... why would that be handy when water and actual food is going to be useful/needed?
  
  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".
- The most disgusting energy drink on the market.

These people lost everything. Maybe we should monetize a video about sending a truckload of bibles and coyote urine! We're super awesome, y'all!

Gooooddddammit, I actually didn't mind the PRIME electrolyte powder for when I'm sweating like mad (brought it to Burning Man this year), but Logan goddamn Paul owns it? Fuck I hate that guy
- FYI they advertise it as "electrolytes" because it's full of potassium and has next to no sodium, which is the main thing you lose when sweating, and they do that to say it's sodium free while still having "electrolytes"
  
  Right, Gatorade, a long standing "sports drink" has 12% of your DV of sodium or something for the reason you stated. Fuck logan paul and fuck his "get the kids to get their parents to buy this" garbage
- Oh, is that what this is? Here I was thinking they "shipped Amazon Prime" to people and thought "well that's bad grammar but... what did they actually ship using Prime?"
  And yeah, fuck that guy.

I broke down and bought a pack of Prime to try recently after seeing it everywhere, even in the hands of people I don't associate with the whole Logan Paul circus.
It tasted like piss and chemicals. If you're at all sensitive to the taste of sucralose, it's like drinking battery acid. I simply cannot fathom how it is as successful as it is.
edit: typo
- It's got electrolytes, its what hurricane survivors crave. Brought to you by Truth Social.
- Kids, their taste buds are still developing so when they taste it and don't instantly vomit they think it tastes good. After that their taste buds are permanently shifted towards those types of flavors, making the problem worse. Should be illegal.
- It's targeted towards kids, and parents who don't know any better get it for them.
- It's a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn't make sense.
  And, y'know, it's just fully a scam. It's mostly successful because he's famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.
  
  The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.
  I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I've had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I'm not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.
- Just a swallow or sip of sucralose I fused drinks can send my to bed in a dark room due to migraines.
  That drink may kill me.
- I broke down and bought a pack of Prime
  You need to work on that. That's not good.

Alt headline:
Multi-millionaire donates tax write off of $12,652, adds, "These cattle better be taking photos of this shit and sharing while mentioning the brand or I'm not fucking doing it!"
- More like
  Multi-millionaire tries to pass off marketing as a tax write-off
  
  Yep, sounds more like that
- You know they are sending thousands of bottles of whatever flavor didn't test well that has been sitting in a warehouse, too.
  
  "Peanut butter schnapps"?
- Just because it's (potentially) a tax write off doesn't mean they gain any money. It means that they either lose slightly less money or that they can donate more for the same amount, depending on how you see it.
  
  Technically they don't gain money no, but they get:
  To move or dispose of product, making sales look better
  Free marketing, both in people having the drinks and to say "look we did a charity"
  To pay their taxes with effectively free money, because they take the product that they made for pennies, and count it as a "donation" at full price. Meaning that all the "profit" they would have made on markup goes straight to paying the taxes instead of making the money and paying taxes on the money they already made.
  It's why a company donating their product is always better for them than a regular person donating cash. They are effectively still making money it's just this time they are making money specifically to pay off their taxes.

Prime's got what plants crave - it's got electrolytes
- True, but it's clearly no Powerthirst.
  
  Mother nature will be like 'sloooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwn', and you'll say "FUCK YOU" and kick her in the face with your

- Came to comments for this line specifically.

It tastes like oompa loompas spitting in my mouth.
- Oompa loompa doopa dee dit
  He wants to swallow some of our spit
  Oompa loompa doopa dee dah
  Aim at his mouth and go hawk tuah
- Having never experienced that, I'll take your word for it.
  
  Which one?

I couldn't find where I saw/heard it, but I swear I saw a blurb about PRIME drinks containing polyfluoroalkyl, which is what allows jackets and tents to repel water..
I did however find a Consumer Reports article.
- Eh, if someone comes up with such a comparison it immediately tells that they don't know what they're talking about. Like, linseed oil was also used for waterproofing (oilskin), yet it is quite healthy. Other applications/occurences of a substance simply don't tell you anything about it being good or bad for you.
  
  There's HYDROGEN in the WATER, the stuff that BURNED in the HINDENBURG and they want you to DRINK IT?!?
  
  Well, PFAs are definitely not good for you.
- I'd believe that. I tried Prime once and it tastes like the fumes from spray paint.

I would rather drown myself than drinking that cat piss.
Also they don't even do it out of charity. Prime, being as dogshit as it is, is selling terribly. So they are giving it away instead of having to spend money getting rid of it. Would not expect nothing else from scammer logan and soulless KSI

- Not true. I actually like candy.

A truck loaded with water bottles is more useful than Prime bottles, think it a little, for medial reasons some people can't drink hyper sugar shit.
- Really, no one should be drinking high sugar drinks. Even stuff like juice should be a once in a while thing. I'm as guilty of it as almost everyone else, I admit. Hard to break that sugar addiction.
  
  I have the same problem, that sugar addiction
- Even worse it's coconut water. That's okay in a normal market. But this might be the only "clean" water within a day's travel in an emergency like this. The problem is there are people with coconut allergies and sensitivities. So for them he's effectively sent poison. Furthermore, not everyone in a disaster zone needs rehydration all the time. This is why aid organizations don't even send pre-mixed drinks. It's the powder packets.
  Literally everything about this is wrong. I wouldn't be surprised to learn they just unloaded the trailer in a random parking lot inside the declared zone and ran away.
  
  Like Atary and the old leyend of the buried cartridges, it's a possibility they unloaded the the truck in a random parking.

Absolute piss. My 8 year old bought some and I tried it. It's like they tried to make it taste awful.

Great, so anyone allergic or sensitive to coconut water is fucked. Great job Mr. Influencer. If you can't do aid right, don't get in the way of the professionals.
- Anyone who is allergic to coconut has my sincere pity, because coconut might be my favorite of all flavors.
- Fuck prime and the paul brothers but you can't dismiss people/companies providing aid. By providing aid like this it frees up other resources for others to use. The professionals relay on any aid that they can get so long as it isn't going to hurt anyone. Someone allergic to something will know what they can/can't have.
  Again fuck prime and it's a shit resource but when you're desperate you'll take what you can to stay alive.
  
  That's not how it works. You go down the line handing out pre-made bundles. This isn't a grocery store.
  
  By providing aid like this it frees up other resources for others to use.
  What does this even mean? Also, do you think they're actually doing this to help people? Lol...

These people have suffered enough.
And it was a publicity stunt, it wasn't for the peoole, let's be real.

It’s got what victims crave.
It’s got electrolytes

How did I not know these jackasses made Prime? Makes me feel guilty for the two I gagged down a year ago.

The sweetness would make life bitter

Who is Logan Paul?
Guess it's some YouTube influencer.
- Wouldn't it be amazing if there were some sort of fully-indexed global network of computers full of information where you could do something like type the words "Logan Paul" into a text box and instantly get an answer about who that person is?
  Alas...
  
  Fair enough. ')
- You're much better off not knowing, imo. Influencers are like Tinker Bell, in that they disappear if there aren't enough people who believe they exist.
- I wish I wasn't cursed with knowledge...

Did your spouse die and everything in your home is ruined by water damage? Here's a bottle of Prime. You're welcome.

I get the lemonade version sometimes and it only has a couple of grams of sugar, iirc. I like it for hikes and things like that. Usually I'll get the powder packs and put some in my water bottle.
- DripDrop powder packs are a possible alternative if you don't want to support Logan Paul. They have a variety pack. I used them to keep hydrated during colonoscopy prep, lol.
  https://www.dripdrop.com/
  
  Can also recomment "Sqwincher" (stupid name aside) products.
  https://www.sqwincher.com/products/single-serve-qwik-stik-zero/
  As they market primarily to people working in construction / other trades - and are therefore sold at the likes of electrical and safety supply stores - we buy them in bulk for when we're spending weeks installing racks of servers in our datacentre at work.
