KSI outraged as PRIME \u201cblack market\u201d emerges with drink resold at absurd prices Instagram: drinkprimeYouTube star KSI has hit out at the PRIME \u2018black market\u2019 as eager fans continue to show overwhelming demand for the drink he and Logan Paul founded. Earlier this year, two former enemies in KSI and Logan Paul banded together to release PRIME Hydration, a brand-new drink. It\u2019s easy to say that PRIME was a hit with the fans, with the initial US launch exceeding expectations. Furthermore, the drink\u2019s UK debut in June had absolutely mind-blowing support. However, despite hitting the ASDA shelves months ago, to this day it\u2019s almost impossible to find in-store \u2014 thanks to those wanting to capitalize and resell the drink. In an October 22 tweet, KSI once again acknowledged the insane demand from PRIME, and revealed his frustrations with the \u201cblack market\u201d that has formed around the drink, where fans are reselling the beverage at an extreme markup. \u201cThis annoys me so much. We\u2019re trying so hard to increase the supply as much as possible to try and combat the black market selling,\u201d KSI wrote. In the tweet, the YouTuber also attached screenshots of an eBay listing showing a single PRIME being sold at \u00a314.95. In contrast, it\u2019s sold at British supermarket ASDA for \u00a32.00. \u201cMe and Logan ain\u2019t made any money from Prime. It\u2019s all going back into the business to increase the supply,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re trying people.\u201d Demand is so high for the drink that stores have begun making it harder for \u201cyoung people\u201d to buy it \u2014 imposing restrictions such as not allowing children without a parent or guardian inside the store after 7:30 pm. Regardless, KSI has made it clear that changes are on the way, claiming that \u201cPRIME will be everywhere\u201d soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
