LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In his latest stream, Twitch streamer Felix Lengyel popularly known as xQc recounted his terrible experience with Prime, a sports drink founded by YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI.
In a stream on October 28, the Canadian streamer came across a promotion for the drink in MrBeast's latest video. Subsequently, xQc became very critical of the beverage, narrating his impression of it after tasting its many flavors.
xQc reacts to the taste of Prime Hydration
The streamer stated that he usually likes sugary things, such as energy drinks and sodas. But his encounter with the beverage was not exactly pleasant.
xQc even went so far as to say that after tasting one of the flavors, the 'Lime Lemon' in particular, he and fellow YouTuber Yung Filly almost threw up.
Boxers Logan Paul and KSI, who are popular on YouTube, own a portion of Prime, an energy drink. Since its 2022 launch, it has attracted a lot of attention thanks to its extensive marketing and celebrity endorsements.
Blue raspberry, ice pop, lemonade, lemon lime, Meta Moon, orange, strawberry watermelon, and tropical punch are just a few of its many flavors.
While watching and reacting to MrBeast's latest video, 'World's Deadliest Laser Maze!', xQc came across a promotion for the drink in the video. Reacting to it, he said, "I tried Prime unbiased, okay? Unbiased, at all. And I hated all of them."
He added, "None of them even taste close to it. It feels like it's a non-tasting whatever, but with an aftertaste."
In addition, he made a point of highlighting his bad experience with the Lemon Lime flavor, or the "green one". Felix discussed his experience trying the flavored drink with Yung Filly, another YouTuber.
The most noteworthy project the two have worked on together is the Sidement Charity Match 2023, which featured KSI, MrBeast, and IShowSpeed among other well-known online celebrities.
In addition, he mentioned how Yung Filly and he "almost puked in the locker room" after trying Prime's Lemon Lime flavor.
He said, "The one that... that's like more daring in intensity is like the green one. Dude, we almost puked in the f**king locker room... I was like 'Oh my god.' It was so, well I mean, terrible! It was terrible!"
Fans support xQc's take on Prime Hydration
xQc's opinion of the energy drink generated several responses from social media users with many siding with the Canadian streamer.
A user said, "I tried the blue one once. It tasted like shitty squash to me. It certainly didn't taste as bad as what X is describing, but I'll probably never buy another bottle."
Another user wrote, "Prime tastes so chemically its like diet soda but not fizzy."
Another user agreed and said, "Makes sense. It doesn't actually give u the majority of what u actually need to replenish from the type of drink it is, and the way its like that is because they wanted it to "taste better"."
The next bunch of users also slammed Paul's drink.
While one user wrote, "Finally, someone that tells the truth," another said, "As a guy who hasnt tasted Prime I can attest that Prime drink is bad."
One user wrote, "I only ever tried the pink one and its so bad tastes like someone just melted a bunch of candy and made a drink out of it. Overly sweet you cant even enjoy it", and another added, "The PRIME hype ended after everyone tasted them."
