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.

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.

Despite MrBeast’s doubts, it looks like Paul hit a home run with this project.
