Mum spent weeks getting up at 6am each morning to try and buy Prime energy drink

A mum surprised her daughter when she finally managed to buy a bottle of the sought-after energy drink Prime after spending weeks waking up at 6am. For three weeks Lisa Smith, 42, got up early to visit her local Asda in Huyton, Liverpool.

But every time she went she couldn’t find a bottle of Prime - a new drink from social influencers KSI and Logan Paul - which her nine-year-old daughter Jessie wanted. Kids, particularly teenagers, have been desperate to get hold of the £2 drink with some bottles reportedly being listed on eBay for £10k.

Lisa’s efforts paid off though when one morning she managed to buy a few bottles as they were being restocked at 6.45am. Wearing a blindfold, Jessie then had to guess the object her mum had bought her and she was overwhelmed with joy at seeing the drink.

"She'd given up looking - she said she was going to put it on her list for Santa!"

Lisa wasn't alone in her mission to secure the energy drink, with husband Stuart, 40, also lending a hand. And Jessie had no idea her mum was planning to surprise her with the drink - with her happiness clearly visible in the video.

Lisa said: "She just thought I was going to work. She never knew that I was going to get them. I was always going to surprise her with them."

KSI has since tweeted about Lisa's surprise for Jessie - saying: "This is honestly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen."

Lisa said: "I found out that KSI had tweeted about it, and I can't wait to tell Jessie about that too!"
