Sugar and fungus is used for mind control too
I'm supposed to believe the guy that scammed his followers out of millions on crypto is being deceiving about his energy drinks? I dunno….
What about all those kids snacks ,cereals etc full of chemicals, fake artificial ingredients, full of artificial colors and sugar? This topic when?
See USA obesity rate!
Has shumer ever heard of Red Bull, monster, rockstar…or the king of caffeine, Starbucks?
James is 7 years old and drinks this I think this is why he has a big head 😂
I remember Jolt in the 90s and this sounds like what Jolt was
What’s about bang or rockstar energy drinks?
😳 The FDA approved this😳
Its the niacin that’s the issue, but senators are not interested in learning stuff.
Look at the niacin content than use Google.
Once I thin the blood, whatever I lay on top of it is that much more enhanced.
Think MDA or ecstasy at a rave, yep Red Bulls galore.
Think bars and alcohol, yep, Red Bulls in every bar now.
You think they care if you regulate the caffeine? Surprise they don’t.
Tell them to reduce or eliminate the niacin they purposely add and they will fight you tooth and nail.
Caffeine yeah, that’s the ticket, caffeine.
Now your armed with the knowledge you can sit back and see how ill informed ALL these people truly are.
Your welcome.
Government overeach! Thank you for managing our day to day life, and not the government failures………
He will fight a sugar drink but no words for racial hatred in America.Oh wait his family owned slaves
I’d be filing a lawsuit if this was my drink! Outlandish!! 200mgs is nothing!! Get a life!!
It's a drink just slightly different from a real natural flavoured marijuana(psychotropic) drink , here too much caffeine(psychotropic) having the same effect as the CBD .
I’ve got an idea…
let’s poison children for money!
Yeah!
Side note, theres a political party that promotes life altering hormone therapy to minors. Yet that same party is wasting time on a energy/hydration drink that isnt targeting children. Help this make sense.
That stuff will mess up your heart.
We should start seeing who is lobbying this guy, maybe the competition?🤷🏻
200 mg of caffeine is pretty standard for an energy drink. Do they really want kids to stop drinking them or do they want to take the market share away from prime?
if where doing that can we also do Panera's mango yuzu citrus lemonade as well the mout of caffeine also just a crazy.
While you're there, get us our crypto money back. Tons of people got scammed & never got a promised refund
It has the disclaimer right there on the can.. it’s the parents fault for not watching their kids lol
Chuck. When you get Pelosi dry and Hunter off the coke then we can talk about 15 year olds drinking the equivalent of TWO cups of coffee. PLEASE. This has nothing to do with kids. This is anti capitalist. Plain and simple.
How is an energy drink illegal
This dude is definitely in the pockets of Coca Cola or Redbull or he has shares in Prime's competitor. Guy has never had a interest in soft drinks or health products all of a sudden he wants a probe about it?
This is a parenting issue, not a political one. But hey, they will do anything to keep the public distracted and arguing about non important topics while they pass whatever BS benefits them behind closed doors.
I don't even drink prime I drink Zoa
Democrats blue wave coming ur way gop sucks vote Democrats donate to democrats gop is going down
prime sucks
Maybe people should stop being followers
fr the first time i drank a prime i felt like i was having a heart attack it was the disgusting sugar in those drink. im a healthy weight person and will never purchase that stuff again
I dont like the paul brothers as much as the next guy but the energy drink is normal. Everyone is fully aware drinking tons it aimt good but its no different than a monster or all the others. I use to drink 3 monster a day at work till i started to feel pain in my chest stopped after that but everyone is fully aware here
