He then made the employees believe that he was a part of the Gatorade team and made them taste PRIME drinks disguised as Gatorade sample products. Interestingly, people liked the flavors and were seen giving their thumbs up with the notion that they were tasting their own company’s drinks.

JiDion also video-called KSI who was laughing and telling that he would not have the courage to pull a stunt of this scale. The latter also went on to post JiDion’s YouTube video on his Twitter timeline. Though JJ did not mention Gatorade in his post, the tweet was taken down by the microblogging platform.

JJ was seen posting a follow-up tweet mentioning that Gatorade was taking everything to the heart and they are extremely triggered with KSI for promoting his friend’s YouTube video.
