Fights broke out in a Liverpool Sainsbury's yesterday as shoppers sought to get their hands on a new flavour of the hydration drink.
Footage by YouTuber Ghost Dimension shows that a large group of customers queued outside the Sainsbury's on East Prescot Road in Knotty Ash ahead of the supermarket stocking KSI and Logan Paul's drink for the first time. Sainsbury's was also stocking a limited edition Orange and Mango flavour.
Just before heading in, one customer asked: "Where's the security guard? There's going to be barneys here in a minute." As soon as the store opened, chaos descended, with children and their parents got caught up in the rush for the new flavour.

Sainsbury's had imposed a limit of three drinks of each flavour per customer. One person could be heard saying: "Stop pushing and shoving! You're allowed three of each." Another shouted: "Stop pushing now." A staff member attempted to calm the commotion and said: "It's just a drink."
Sainsbury’s is the latest big retailer to add the KSI and Logan Paul drinks to its shelves, following the likes of Asda, Aldi and Costco. The limited edition Orange and Mango flavour is only available in the UK for £2.50, while the rest of the flavours will be sold for £2.
In a statement to the M.E.N., Morrisons also confirmed it is looking to bring Prime to its stores. Demand rose so high for the drink last December that some independent retailers were selling them for as much as £12 a bottle in Liverpool.
