Social media stars Logan Paul and KSI wowed the internet after joining forces to debut their very own beverage brand, Prime Hydration, in early 2022. It wasn\u2019t long before the duo expanded into energy drinks and even flavor packets. Now, Prime has morphed into a massive beverage empire, selling over one billion bottles as of November 2023. However, not everyone is jazzed about Prime\u2019s success \u2014 particularly concerned parents after a student reportedly experienced a \u201ccardiac episode\u201d after drinking a can of Prime Energy in May 2023. Even US lawmakers have expressed anxieties over Prime Energy. In July, Democratic US Senator Charles Schumer called on the Food and Drug Administration to open an investigation into Prime, calling the drink a \u201cserious health concern\u201d that was being \u201ctargeted\u201d toward children. Logan Paul hits back at health concerns over Prime Energy Now, Logan Paul is hitting back at these claims and concerns, opening up about the situation in an interview with ABC News\u2019 Eva Pilgrim on November 10. According to the YouTuber, the majority of his audience is actually above the 18, as per his Instagram analytics. \u201cThat\u2019s such a heavy claim,\u201d he said in response to queries about Prime focusing its marketing toward children. \u201cBut I want to dive into it. You know, we are a social media-first company.\u201d \u201cThe good thing about social media is there\u2019s data, right?
