Did your spouse die and everything in your home is ruined by water damage? Here’s a bottle of Prime. You’re welcome.
Well, they can’t sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
How did I not know these jackasses made Prime? Makes me feel guilty for the two I gagged down a year ago.
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.

You need to work on that. That’s not good.
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.
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.
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.
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!
How the fuck does this guy have a career after the suicide forest video?
You’re not concerned about the multi million dollar Bitcoin scam or just didn’t know? Dudes up to all sort of shady shit
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 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.
Well, PFAs are definitely not good for you.
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
True fact once I was getting a drink with my younger brother and he asked me to get him a Prime, kid took about three sips before he gave up on the rest and got a glass of water, lmao.
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!”
You know they are sending thousands of bottles of whatever flavor didn’t test well that has been sitting in a warehouse, too.
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.
