The drink was recently launched in the UK by KSI and Logan Paul, and demand surged in Aldi stores, especially at the end of December.
Prime Energy is described as “naturally flavored beverage with 10% coconut water, BCAAs, antioxidants and electrolytes” and comes in a variety of flavors.
The drink retails for just £1.99 in a bottle in the UK.
However, according to a post on his Instagram page, Wakey Wines sells the canned version for £100.
In another post, he shared a video of a customer spending £1,200 on a box of cans.
A canned version of the drink has so far only been launched in the US, with UK retailers typically stocking only the bottled version. ITV news.
In response to the ban, Wakey Wines posted the following statement on his Instagram: I am now banned from TikTok with 500k. I have worked hard for this.
“All my videos are for fun. Like any businessman, I saw a business idea with sweets from WFD and took advantage of the opportunity. Some jealous and horrible people. These Please help me by reporting this post! Thank you to all the fans.”
Following his ban, KSI also reacted angrily to a post on Wakey Wines’ own TikTok page.
“Holy shit! He can’t keep avoiding it. Stop buying at these prices,” he said.
