Woolworths workers are being harassed by indignant punters not capable of get their fingers on Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME drink after its launch was delayed throughout Australia.
The wait has left Woolies workers distraught and annoyed, with even determined mother and father pestering them and demanding the drink for his or her kids.
The vibrant drink has induced an web storm — and although celeb chef Gordan Ramsay mentioned it tastes like “swallowing perfume”, Australians are wanting to style the sports activities drink.
In an announcement, Woolworths mentioned the PRIME Hydration selection would turn out to be accessible nationally “in the coming weeks”.
It was initially meant to go on sale on Wednesday.
The continued badgering over the drink’s unavailability has left Woolies employees hysterical, with many taking to social media to vent their misery.
“People asking for PRIME is gonna be my new paralysis demon,” one Woolies employee posted.
Another mentioned: “I had at least 10 eshays with dirty mullets ask me this in a span of 5 minutes as soon as the store opened this morning.”
A 3rd added: “I had a lady ring up on the weekend pissed we didn’t have it for her nine-year-old son.”
And one more commented: “I’ve been asked nearly every day for the past week if we have it …”
Woolies workers had predicted the shopper outrage when the drink’s launch was delayed on the again of podcaster and wrestler Paul’s promotion of it.
“Brace yourselves for countless smelly teenagers asking for PRIME in the coming days,” one warned.
Another mentioned: “Eshays and degens (sic) new favourite drink right after monster and rockstar.”
Many even queued for a drink that hadn’t even been launched, with one Facebook person saying that they had “been lining up for three hours and Coles didn’t have any”.
It comes because it was revealed that Australian retailers is not going to provide the caffeinated number of PRIME — which holds as much as 200mg of caffeine.
Woolworths advised The West Australian that it will solely inventory the PRIME Hydration 500ml selection in 4 flavours — tropical punch, blue raspberry, ice pop and lemon lime.
In a current radio present with Kyle & Jackie O, co-owners Paul and KSI — whereas visiting Australia for UFC 284 and the promotion of PRIME — mentioned the drink can be made accessible in Coles previous to Woolworths.
Coles was unable to verify the declare, nor have been they capable of verify if the drink can be stocked nationally.
“We know that our team and customers are excited about the launch of PRIME Hydration,” a Coles spokeswoman mentioned.
“However, we are unable to offer it to our customers at this time.”
Coles — which has since eliminated PRIME from its on-line web site — has not confirmed if retailers will provide the Hydration selection to clients.
PRIME Hydration comprises 10 per cent coconut water, electrolytes, BCAA’s and gives 20 energy per bottle.
PRIME, which on its web site states that the drink is accessible throughout Coles and Woolworths retailers, mentioned: “Our team is working hard to expand our markets and product availability.”
