Prime Hydration Drink Tropical Punch 500ML

Product Information

What I’m hearing is I’m Gwyneth Paltrow with a side of sweeteners. Already feel menacingly smug that everyone else around me will be cripplingly hungover in approximately nine hours. Pilates and Prime. This is my new identity. Live, laugh, love. 12.20-1.12AM – Early hour delirium By 2.30AM everyone is, thank god, sloping off home. Prime (and good company) gave me enough of a boost to keep going till the early hours but health drinks simply are not fuel for 6AM sessions. With my rational mind still somehow in tact, I start scooping up beer bottles and empty vapes to make tidying up easier in the morning. Fear I’ve officially become my mother.

Filtered Water, Coconut Water From Concentrate (10.5%), Acid (Citric Acid), Mineral Salt (Dipotassium Phosphate), Natural Flavouring, Carrot Concentrate, Colour (Beta Carotene), Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), Amino Acids (L- Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine), Vitamin , Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, BCAA Blend: 250mg (L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine) Tropical Punch: Straight away it is very sweet, almost too sweet. Tropical flavours are super vibrant and almost burst in your mouth. Very strong and flavourful. Second best. But, as I sip from the bulbous plastic bottle while doing my makeup – the time I’d normally have my first vodka lem – I do start to feel almost manically energetic. Am I actually getting pissed by placebo? Or have I finally lost my tiny mind? The bottle is done but the party is not. And, you know what? It’s not hard to keep on going because I feel good. Like someone that just got a 2AM delivery. Conversational cannon fodder is sorted. Everyone wants to know how I feel after four bottles of Prime. Great. Bit bored. Kind of jealous of your dilated pupils. Thanks for asking. Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - sign up to our daily newsletter here.

How sociable. “Some people also report a slight aftertaste and a delayed sensation of sweetness,” she adds. The drink comes in a number of different flavours including Lemon Lime, Tropical Punch, Ice Pop and Blue Raspberry.

Does the Prime high feel like being pissed? Of course it doesn’t. But I danced, yelled, and nearly chunned, alongside everyone else in attendance and, honestly, what more is there to a night out than that? Related stories recommended by this writer: But each bottle of Prime only contains 2g of sugar and adults are allowed 30g per day. So, why are our tastebuds rattled? Well, the concoction also has the sweetener Ace-K (Acesulfame potassium) on its ingredient list. And Dr Patel says there are side effects: Last week, Morrisons announced plans to supply Prime Hydration, but didn't state a date for when it would hit shelves. On Thursday, the supermarket confirmed the drink had now arrived in stores, reports Manchester Evening News.

When KSI and Logan Paul released new Prime Hydration flavours in Aldi this week, the low-calorie drink once again set in motion our weirdest collective meltdown of 2023. And, after grown adults once again started to queue outside supermarkets in the middle of the night to secure a hit, I’ve begun to wonder whether the need for Prime could replace the need for alcohol— if a viral soft drink could be enough to have a good time at a cramped party or grimy club. We dropped our first product, PRIME Hydration in 2022 and since then, we've continued to worked countless hours to expand in retailers, reach new markets and formulate new products we know you'll love.​ On first taste, Ice Pop Prime tastes like radioactive Smirnoff Ice with none of the perks of intoxication. Despite being a “naturally flavoured beverage with 10 per cent coconut water, BCAAs, and Antioxidants + Electrolytes” it’s so sweet it’s making me wince. Blue Raspberry: First thought, very refreshing and tastes really good. The raspberry flavour is instantly evident, and this drink actually has me wanting to sip more. Best flavour so far and actually really nice.

Much like when your taste buds acclimatise to a particularly poisonous bottle of wine, Prime Blue Raspberry tastes semi neutral in comparison to Ice Pop. But my housemate has a sip and says the sweetness is sending her into orbit. I’m feeling some minor heart palps and also the urge to have some more— like a toddler with access to unlimited additives at a birthday party. Help. We’ve been humbled by the process of creating a real brand & surpassing some of the biggest beverage companies in the world. As underdogs, we always cherish the opportunity to show the world what’s possible.​ We didn't have Meta Moon for this particular taste test, but it's one we've had previously, so we've been able to include it in the ranking, along with the pink Strawberry Watermelon flavour, which is largely only available in America but we were able to source. The drink comes in a variety of flavours which also includes Grape, Meta Moon, Orange, and Strawberry Watermelon, as well as the limited edition Orange and Mango flavour which is only available in the UK for a limited time.

The morning after

On December 29, Aldi released the highly popular Prime Drink in its stores, leading to people queuing outside of supermarkets before they opened and, in some extreme cases, fighting over the bottles. There is something called the ‘placebo effect’ that can lead to people drinking alcohol free drinks,” confirms Dr Hana Patel, the GP I’ve roped into this slightly deranged experiment.

But, regretfully Prime Lime Cordial is the hardest to stomach. It’s a blessing to be giving it away. I haven’t left my lounge but the taste is transporting me to a grotty club at 2AM, clutching a luke warm lime soda with no light behind my eyes.Overall thoughts: Are they worth the hype? Probably no. But, if I could go to a store and buy them without any queuing or without over-paying, they would be worth it. The flavours are nice, vibrant and actually taste good.
