Energy drink called Prime

Apologies for reporting this, had reported a couple more ‘spam’ posts and this one went in by mistake.

Will ask GN to sort it.

Well back in the day we were running around outside all day and only ever drunk water. I don't remember anyone fainting from lack of sugar or caffeine.

I don't think that they are like to do harm in moderation. It's not that that I object to, it's buying into the marketing that says it is acceptable to have children (young teens in my friend's case) dressed and ready at the door in time to get to the supermarket at 6.00am to buy a drink that has been made desirable by its manufactured scarcity.

Children have always liked sweet treats and I'm not po-faced about indulging them sometimes, but that seems to me a step too far. To me, the susceptibility to marketing is more dangerous than an occasional sugar hit.

Personally I don’t think they are good for anyone all that caffeine and extra added sugar

Those Energy Drinks are packed with sugar and caffeine! So bad for anyone especially children !

Asda seems to have it in stock. It’s one of those hydration energy drinks that’s especially popular with anyone doing sports. There’s been several over the years - Lucozade Sport, Monster to name a couple. There’s also Red Bull which has been very popular for some time and has an ongoing advertising campaign mostly aimed at university students.

My 16 year old grandson should have that on intravenous drip 😄

Why would anyone buy energy drinks for children?

I’ve heard of it as someone I know has posted photos of herself driving her daughter and her friends to a supermarket at 6.00 am as they had it in stock. She is a bit of a ‘conspicuously good parent’ but I think that’s madness.

Apparently it can change hands for £10 a bottle despite costing £1 or so to buy.

Limited availability.

It's just in the wrong Forum, that's all. MCSS writes lovely posts.
Probably better to move this one to Chat?

Why?
MCSS is a long-standing member and I can see no “illegal” links?
