Auston Matthews is the new spokesperson for PRIME

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I had never heard of Prime. It looks like a gross energy drink. What's the issue with him endorsing this? I guess cause it's unhealthy?

 

[LaCarriere]

This is mostly true. Prime Energy wasn't actually sold in Canada through official channels until recently. That was boutique shops buying them up in the US and re-selling them here, hence not passing Canadian food laws and not having french packaging etc like the corner store you mentioned.

Gotcha.

Yeah I guess it was just being done on a much larger scale than what a few corner stores do now.

I live in Burlington, Ont now. Its pretty common to find little corner stores / specialty shops anywhere from Niagara to as far as Hamilton to carry US products. They probably arent on the shelf thru legal means.

Read up on the guy to his right. Then think about how wrong it is to promote an energy drink marketed to children.

Make the money while you can, Auston

Give me a million dollars and I'll happily stand in the middle of time square with a bull horn and tell the world I endorse hemorrhoid cream.

The two people who made it are a bunch of clowns and have turned boxing into a mockery of a sport.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

LOLOL

Wasn’t this stuff banned by the Canadian government for misleading packaging or something like that?

I think I read something a week or so ago that said it wasn't a hydration drink like they claim

 

[LaCarriere]

Is it capped at 180 in Canada? There are several things here in the states like cold brew coffee or energy drinks that have 200.

Death Wish Coffee has 300mg lol

yeah. Anything being sold (legally) in Canada is limited to 180mg.

Like I said though, I live fairly close to the border and the corner store near me sells Ghost Energy (200mg). Im assuming they just order it online, or drive over the border and bring a few cases back to sell in their little corner store. Im sure they could get it trouble if somebody made a complaint to the CFIA (equivalent of the FDA), but its a tiny little corner store, its not like its on their radar.

I'd do that for a few grand to be honest. Easy work.

 

[Mrb1p]

Yeah, now more 12-year old kids will watch Matthews clips on TikTok. It's a great day for Hockey!

More views more money, tiktok or not.

Your dads generation probably said thr same thing about you. Dont be your dads generation.

Yup. Good point. Me, too - my Church could use the money.

Lol sounds familiar

I think they sell both energy drinks, and hydration drinks similar to gatorade with no caffiene, but I could be wrong.

People don't like him and the Leafs, pretty much just that.

It's a trash product and the people who own it are trash, but everyone commenting how cringe this is would probably endorse this product for 1/100th of what he is making, so it is comical.

Most NHLers would probably endorse this too, but they won't get asked.

Everyone has a price.

I don't add CRUDE comments but I will this one time...

Years ago, a comedian (can't remember his name) said, "For a million dollars, I'd <bleep> Mike Tyson in front of my parents. How bad could it taste?"

Too funny.

Yup Matthews is not an actual hockey player yet gets to participate in the sport at the highest level facing a bunch of washed up former stars that sign up for a quick pay day.

 

[Mulletman]

Read up on the guy to his right.

What does a guy, who's been shamed all over the internet for marrying the ultimate 304 have to do with Auston Matthews? If anything Matthews will actually come out as the repectable one in this group.

 

[BahlDeep]

Regardless of how garbage Prime is and how big of a tool Logan is...

KSI & Logan are marketing geniuses.

He also scammed people out of their savings with some Crypto

 

[Washed Up 29YearOld]

And here I am thinking he's proselytizing the masses to subscribe for Amazon Prime memberships.

 

[Toby91ca]

It had over the 180mg allowable caffeine content for an energy drink. I think it was 200mg or more, whatever they were selling in the states. How it slipped by the approval process I'm not sure. Some nerd at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency wasn't doing their job.

I know the corner store near me imports some stuff from the states, and some have 200mg+, like Ghost Energy.

It also didn't have any french labelling. Any food products in Canada needs labels printed in both official languages.

This was related to the version that comes in the smaller cans though....not the normal drink

 

[Mulletman]

Yeah, but wifing up Nina is worse than that...

 

[BahlDeep]

He can wife whoever he wants... it doesn't really impact anyone but him and his wife

Logan Paul is a scumbag that has swindled millions of dollars in failed crypto projects like Crypto Zoo and Dink Doink. Also marketing that Prime garbage to children.

Didn't he also film a guy hanging from a tree and post it to social media for views?
