Glasgow dessert shop selling popular Prime energy drinks for £10 a bottle

A dessert shop in Glasgow is fully stocked with the one drink teenagers are dying to get their hands on but it costs £10 a bottle.

Parents have found themselves up at the crack of dawn as they scramble to their nearest supermarket in search for the hugely popular Prime energy drinks which have been flying off the shelves.

Created by YouTube star turned rapper KSI and WWE wrestler Logan Paul, the drink has seen crowds of thirsty teens raiding supermarket shelves to grab hold of one.

Last week, Aldi was rammed after the supermarket giant announced it will be selling Prime for just £1.99 a bottle. Shell garages are believed to have them in stock for £3.

But Tubbees Dessert Lab, on Paisley Road West, are selling them for £10 a bottle - and currently have the Orange and Lemon and Lime flavours in stock.

A note displayed in their store window states: "Due to demand, we have sourced Prime, this has come to us at 5 times the price as it's imported from the USA."

But the hefty price tag has left some customers raging on the shop's social media.

One person said: "I will be boycotting all Tubbees stores due to this, scalping is disgusting. Adding £1 on to the price is understandable however adding a 400% profit on is vulgar."

Another wrote: "There’s people out there barely getting by and kids wanting this and you charge £10."

A third added: "How disgusting is this."

A spokesperson for Tubbees Dessert Lab said: "The Prime we have brought in has been imported from the United States, it's being sold to us 5 times the price of the official UK retailer.

"We have brought this in due to demand from customers, and at each sale the price is explained. We hope to get better stock shortly."
