Moreover, there is one project that has been a standout among others and that is Paul’s energy drink company Prime Hydration. The company was founded by Paul and fellow YouTuber KSI.

However, Youtuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known by his online name MrBeast, once had second thoughts about the company’s success, as Paul revealed a conversation the two had when they met in South Africa.

Paul reveals the time when MrBeast doubted his company’s success

In the latest episode of his podcast Impaulsive, Paul shared a story about the time when he met MrBeast during the early days of the company. He then revealed that MrBeast told him that the company would not do well even though it was seeing great success.

I think it was interesting because when I was with JJ, I’m sorry MrBeast in South Africa and Prime had like recently launched and was doing very well and very quickly. He told me like straight up candidly, ‘I did not think that was gonna work at all.'” said Paul. Moreover, he also added that it was “shocking” to him as he was confident that the company would work.

From starting as an unusual partnership between rivals, Prime hydration has become one of the top energy drink brands in the United States. The drink was initially launched on Prime’s own website and was sold out within four hours. It is marketed as a healthy sports hydration drink and is directly competing with brands like Gatorade.

The duo also shared their plans to expand to multiple departmental and drugstores and the drink has also made its way into retail stores like Walmart, Target, and Kroger in the USA. Notably, the drink has already sold over 10 million bottles and even expanded into the UK.
