Aldi shoppers can get viral Prime drink in stores this week - but there are rules in place

Aldi has confirmed that the viral Prime hydration drink will be available in stores from this week - but shoppers won't be allowed to buy it in bulk.

Fans have been desperate to get their hands on the drink, created by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, for weeks after it became an internet sensation. Until now, Asda has been the only UK supermarket to stock the drink. The retailer was forced to put a limit on sales, restricting customers to just three bottles after it became available in October.

Aldi has now confirmed that the product will be on its shelves from December 29, as part of its Specialbuy offers - and the supermarket will be following in rival Asda's footsteps by limiting the number of bottles shoppers can buy. The supermarket has warned that stock will be limited and the drinks are expected to fly of the shelves.

The drink will be available in three flavours - Blue Raspberry, Lemon and Lime and Ice Pop - and one 500ml bottle will set customers back £1.99. Shoppers will only be allowed to purchase one of each flavour.

In a statement, Aldi said: "The viral hydration drink created by two popular YouTube stars, KSI and Logan Paul, is available to buy for just £1.99 in Aldi stores nationwide on 29 th December. The drink will be a Specialbuy – and as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

"The supermarket is expecting high demand so a purchase limit of one of each variant per customer has been set to ensure as many people as possible get the opportunity to buy the product."

When the drink launched in Asda earlier this year, the MEN attempted to track it down in Greater Manchester stores but could only find empty shelves. Families reportedly queued from around 5am to get their hands on the drink.

The drink is 10 per cent coconut water and contains electrolytes and B vitamins. It has zero sugar and around 20 calories per bottle, Aldi said.
