KSI claims it\u2019s \u201cimpossible\u201d to combat Prime Drink resellers charging inflated prices Today Show AustraliaYouTube star KSI has claimed it\u2019s impossible to combat the Prime Hydration \u201copportunists\u201d that are scalping the beverage. Despite releasing in the UK almost a year ago, fans are still struggling to get their hands on Prime Hydration. The supply issues and scalpers have gotten so bad, that even some fans have gone above and beyond to launch a \u2018Prime Tracker\u2019 \u2014 aimed at helping others find the nearest store that currently stocks the beverage. KSI himself has even spoken out against those taking advantage of his fans, putting stores on blast for their absurd markup prices. The situation has only gotten worse with the release of Prime\u2019s energy drinks in the US, where some UK retailers were caught selling the drink at \u00a3100 per can. The demand from Prime is through the roof, and while the YouTube star has urged fans to stop buying the drink at a markup, they still continue to purchase from resellers. Many have called for the two YouTubers to take action against those taking advantage. But, according to KSI, it\u2019s an issue that\u2019s \u201cimpossible to combat.\u201d KSI claims it\u2019s \u201cimpossible\u201d to combat opportunists According to the YouTuber-boxer, a new limited-edition KSI-themed bottle will be hitting UK shelves soon. However, the Prime co-founder isn\u2019t confident that all the stock will actually end up on the shelves \u2014 and instead get into the hands of \u201copportunists.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re sending loads to retailers. However I fear that not all of the bottles will end up on the shelves due to foul play and opportunists,\u201d he said on Twitter. \u201cAnd I hate to say it but it\u2019s literally impossible to combat that I\u2019m afraid.\u201d Previously, the YouTuber has called out ASDA employees, claiming that the stock is actually being resold rather than put in stores. After being spotted with the new Prime bottle in Australia, fans are pumped to get their hands on it. Though we\u2019ll just have to wait and see if all the stock actually manages to get on the shelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
