Chilling how effective a deluge of advertising can be on a population of 12-year-olds. Its easy to see how so many Americans were addicted to cigarettes from the 50s to the 70s. Just hammering people's brains with lies and peer pressure.

I saw prime bottles in a video about native american traditional woodcarvers.

People drink way too many energy drinks up in Canada too.
Prime Bottles = gatorade-like.
Prime Cans = caffeinated energy drink.
Not sure how they got popular with such limited selection and a flavor somehow more watered down than gatorade but shrug
Aaaahhh that makes more sense.
The idea of these tranquil woodworkers blitzed on caffeine was what stuck out to me.
I ate the Onion
Does anyone have the actual sales numbers for these things?
They are basically perpetually on sale at Aldi and other discount grocers. I feel like you don't do that unless you're hurting for sales.
Hear that Paul Wight? You didn't have to leave WWE. Logan Paul can bring the Prime straight to you, and you can keep wearing diapers!
(Not a chance I'd have the balls to say that straight to his face....but to be fair, who would?)
Logan Paul is an animal abuser.
