Prime hydration drink: where to buy energy drink from Logan Paul and KSI in UK and how to get stock check app

Stocks of energy drink Prime Hydration, which has been causing a stir among shoppers in the UK and US for months, is now available to buy from a third supermarket giant, and will soon be on the shelves of a fourth big name supermarket. Stock levels of highly sought after drink can now also be tracked online as shoppers continue to scramble to get their hands on it..

The drink, which is available to buy online and in major supermarkets in the UK, has been so popular with shoppers that fans are struggling to bag themselves a bottle - despite queuing from the early hours to try to get one. Prime hydration drink has been created by two Youtube stars Logan Paul and KSI, who were former boxing rivals but have now become business partners, and it’s become an internet sensation.

The drink has also been such a hit in the US that stocks on the official Prime hydration drink website sold out within hours with it being launched. So, it’s no surprise that the drink has also sold out minutes after being released in UK stores too. But, what exactly is the drink, where can you buy it in the UK, and how can you access the stock checker app for it? Here’s what you need to know.

What is Prime hydration drink?

Prime hydration is a sports energy drink. When they launched the drink, Logan Paul and KSI said they were aiming to “rival some of the biggest companies on Earth” with their new drink, including “Pepsi, Coke, Gatorade, and Powerade.” The YouTubers revealed that their biggest goals for their drink are taste and hydration. Paul said that the drink is made up of 10% coconut water.

Where is Prime hydration drink available to buy in the UK?

The Prime hydration drink is now available to buy in three major UK supermarkets - Asda, Aldi and Sainsbury’s. It’s also available to buy in some Spar stores. Fans of the drink have been able to buy it at Asda since the summer, but it has been available to buy in Aldi since Thursday 29 December. Some Spar stores have also been stocking the highly sought after drink since the beginning of 2023.

The Daily Record reports that from Tuesday (21 February) fans will be able to buy the drink from Sainsbury’s shops. It is not confirmed which Sainsbury’s stores will stock Prime, however, and customers are advised to check their local store for bottles. Another supermarket giant, Morrisons, has also confirmed they will sell the drink in future, according to The Grocer, but no further information such as a date has been revealed.

Customers can, however, now grab one bottle of each flavour while stocks last, Aldi said, and the drink is priced at £1.99 per bottle.

After a request from Aldi to ‘meet you there’, KSI responded: “Na I can’t, I’m training but glad there’s other options besides just Asda now.”

Asda meanwhile sell the drink for £2 per bottle, while Spar have been accussed by some of making profit out of the success of the drink by allegedly selling some bottles for up to £18 per bottle.

In response to the complaints on Twitter, Spar said: “We are working closely with our network of Spar UK owned stores and independent retailers to ensure fans can get their hands on Prime drinks and investigating reports of increased pricing. Customers are advised to contact their local stores for more info on stock.”

Logan Paul and KSI thrilled their fans in spring 2022 by announcing that they would be collaborating to release the Prime hydration drink on 4 January. Initially, Prime hydration drink was available only in the USA, however, making it was not possible to buy it in other countries like the UK, Australia, and India.

Back in January, the pair had teased fans on Twitter that the drink would launch in February in the UK. That never happened, however. In March, they once again took to Twitter. Logan Paul retweeted a tweet from KSI who had tweeted “Why isn’t it in the U.K. yet?!?!?” In his response, he said: “It MAY come sooner than you think…”, leading fans to think the capitalisation was a hint that the drink would be released in the UK in May.

Then, on 11 May, the duo excited their fans again by finally making the official announcement that the drink is now available to buy in the UK. Writing on the official Drink Prime Twitter account, they wrote “The wait it over. DrinkPrime.UK.”

In his most recent video, uploaded on his official Youtube channel on 10 May, KSI revealed that Prime drink will be available in UK online stores initially, and then in UK shops. He said: “I am actually sick of saying this; Prime’s coming. It’s coming in the UK. So, You can get in online in the UK, and soon you’ll be able to get in in stores.” According to Logan Paul, 50,000 bottles were sold out within five minutes of being launched online.

The duo then declared in June that drink is available to buy in Asda stores.

Taking to their official Twitter account again on Saturday 18 June they wrote “OUR FIRST UK RETAILER! Thank you for showing up for us this week & thank you @asda for the support. Shop all six delicious flavours at ALL locations within the next week or so!”

How can I check stocks of Prime hydration drink in my local UK store?

The Prime Tracker UK app shows branches of Asda, Aldi and Spar where the drink is in stock. It says it will tell users of changes within 30 seconds of stock updates.

According to the description on the Apple App Store, a team monitors and contacts the three retailers to create an accurate database of where Prime is stocked.

Which Aldi stores can I buy Prime hydration drink from?

Aldi will sell Prime Hydration Drinks as a Specialbuy in all UK stores, it has been announced.

“Due to its popularity and limited availability, we want to ensure as many people as possible have the opportunity to purchase Prime”, a spokesperson said.

In video footage shown to our sister title The Yorkshire Post queues stretch across the store at 8am when doors were opened. According to the eyewitness, all stock was sold within ten minutes with customers limited to one bottle of each flavour.

“Around 8.10am I heard them saying they were running out”, he added.

Hundreds of people turned up at their local Aldi store to try and get their hands on a bottle on the morning of Thursday 29 December, according to social media, with some even waiting in their cars outside stores since 5am.

The video provided to The Yorkshire Post was taken at a store in Thornbury, Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Which Asda stores can I buy Prime hydration drink from?

As soon as the news was announced that Prime would be sold in Asda back in the summer, fans excitedly took to Twitter to question if stock was available in their local stores. Asda were quick to reply to the tweets to reassure them that although the drink is popular they should see it on their local supermarket shelf soon.

A spokesperson wrote: “As you can imagine this product is very popular and in high demand, however, we are expecting most of our stores to have stock by the end of this week!”

Unsurprisingly, fans have reported difficulties in being able to buy the drink in their local Asda store, as it is seemingly flying off the shelves within minutes of stock being replenished due to it’s immense popularity. If you want one for yourself we advise you to be prepared to visit your local Asda store regularly to check for stock and buy quickly if you do see any on the shelves.
