  1. It’s nobodies fault that idiots abused the drink. Natural selection, Darwin Award etc.

  2. Redbull, monster, V have been around for years and young high school kids have been drinking them for years. This is another classic example of the government trying to get involved because someone is making a lot of money and they arent getting a cut.

  3. Does this include the hydration type prime because I'm not sure what might be wrong with the prime hydration type one, so does anyone know that the hydration type has something to do with the fda

  4. Starbucks Triple Shot has 225 mg of caffeine. Monster has 160 mg.
    Prime has 200g.
    It's more to do marketing to kids and who's behind the brand.

  5. Sounds like something Republicans would complain about

  6. Hay the it not why be cuzse the plastic prime with the waterbadol it does not it does not have cafine the energy one have it

  7. So let me get this straight. No kid under 12 should b drinking prime energy, according to the government. but the government encourages them to mutilate their bodies ….. smh

  8. Why are kids in elementary are drinking energy drink?

  9. He said it right there. People see it on their cell phones and they have to have it. Get rid of smart phones and bring back the flip phone. Make the world a better place.

  10. What about Biden’s cocaine possession in his residence? When will the security camera footage be released?

  11. If the U$ economy stopped caffeine the market would crash

  12. Love that he goes after prime for the caffeine when it has 200mg of caffeine but you take reign energy drink and it has 300 mg of caffeine but that’s not a problem … way to hop on a summer trend and make it not seem like you are… how about refocusing and dealing with inflation…

  13. James is 7 years old and drinks this I think this is why he has a big head 😂

  14. PRIME tastes like garbage 🤮.

  15. Literally who cares. This is what parents are for. Sure, it should be checked, but like any other drink is checked.

  16. Plus it contains Sucralose

  17. All energy drinks are poison

  18. Logan Paul is a POS but not for this. He would sell you childrens cancer if it made him a dollar but they arent doing anything here that isnt being done already by most beverage companies. Spend my tax dollars instead investigating and prosecuting his crypto schemes.

  19. LOGAN PAUL IS OVERRRRRR PARTY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  20. Such an important topic to bring to your kids!!!😂😂 actually hilarious… forget about the 2 amber alerts every other day, the guns in schools and vaping especially the PHONES (PEEPS,PREDS&PERPS) online . Lol wtf

  21. I remember back in the day when I was walking to school in a foot of snow, Bubble Yum Bubble Gum was all the rage for us kids who played outdoors and had no social media. 😢

  22. Ehh. I drink sevral redbull a day. Sit down chuck.

  23. Logan and KSI probably think this is great advertising … 😠

  24. 🤔.. let's face..kids today, in general, are fat and lazy, this drink could give them a heart attack💔

  25. I mean it's on the label… doubt Prime would be guilty if it goes to a law sue damn but 2 full red bulls is Kinda crazy 😅😅😅😅

  26. How about investigating Panera's charged lemonades then? The medium sized ones have at least 260mg of caffeine in them and the large sized ones have 390mg in them.

  27. Oh shut up!!!! Who cares???? 😂😂😂 they care about kids in this country???? When?? Who picks these news stories. What did Logan do wrong??? Is he not wearing the dress😂😂😂 one stupid story after another.
