The former tastes much of apple, though as everything progresses it begins to mimic more of a pineapple.
The flavour begins with gumminess and sourness, and both are chemically controlled and influenced. It meshes well with the black and silver colouring, both of which are used sparingly compared to the green. Gridlock comes in a can nearly identical to the aforementioned variety, and while I did just criticize the presence of green on the can, I do feel that it's a better fit for the design than the powder blue is. This shameless ploy to lure the untrained consumer is wildly practiced but nonetheless, it means that the company didn't attempt at intriguing someone by producing an interesting can design.

I'd happily pay £2.99 for them, but I wouldn't queue to get my hands on them or fork out thousands on eBay.Contrast to the light blue the sugar free variety used, Gridlock regular was given a bright green colour really for only one reason create a colour similarity between this generic beverage the well known energy drink Monster. Overall I was impressed with the drinks and I like that they are a healthier alternative. This was less sweet and the flavour reminded me of the raspberry slushies you can get at the cinema. But it was very pleasant and I would definitely drink it again.īut my favourite of the two had to be the Blue Raspberry. When I took my first sip the flavour was nice but very sweet and I wasn't really getting a tropical hit. The Tropical Punch had an interesting smell that I can't quite describe. It is meant to be a healthier option compared to other brands and is made from 10.5 per cent coconut water which is supposed to be great for hydration. The packaging is very bold and bright and you get a lot of drink - 500ml to be exact.
So what do the Prime drinks taste like? Here's what I thought. I didn't need to get up before sunrise, or queue outside before opening time. After hearing so many reports about 'madness in the aisles' as youths scramble to get hold of the sports drink, I couldn't believe how easy the process had been. I bought one Tropical Punch flavour and one Blue Raspberry which were priced at £2.99 each. I went over to the till to ask a staff member if they had any in stock and to my surprise I could see them on the floor behind the counter. I went inside at around 5.15pm and couldn't find the drink anywhere on the shelves. It has an Asda On the Move store and there have been reports that the Prime drink is being sold there with one schoolboy getting up before sunrise to get his hands on it. On my way home I decided to give it one last attempt at the Blurton Road service station. I thought I'd try my luck by asking a shop assistant if they had any in stock, but was told if they did they would be out on the shelves. Other than that, you can order from the UK website when stocks are available.Īll Prime flavours were out of stock at Asda in Wolstanton The only other official stockist is Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, as it's the club's drinks partner. The drink is widely sold in America but in the UK, it's exclusive to Asda, where it costs £2 a bottle. The drink is basically a mix of water, coconut water, sweeteners and vitamins and comes in seven flavours - Meta Moon, Ice Pop, Orange, Blue Raspberry, Tropical Punch, Lemon and Lime and Grape. We went on the hunt around North Staffordshire to see if we could get our hands on the drink. Many listings for the drink, which is available in different flavours, are attempting to sell a single 500ml bottle for hundreds or even thousands of pounds - with prices soaring as high as £10k. With Prime drinks now being difficult to come by, some sellers have capitalised on its immense popularity by listing bottles on eBay for eye-watering prices.
