Glasgow Aldi shoppers queue in the dark to nab popular Prime energy drink

Hundreds of shoppers in Glasgow and beyond queued in the dark on Thursday morning for a chance to get their hands on the viral £1.99 Prime energy drink.

The isotonic sports drink, created by YouTube royalty KSI and Logan Paul, has seen people fighting over the bottles in shops across the UK, reports the Daily Record. The juice has constantly been sold out in places like Asda and various petrol stations - but Aldi has come to the rescue once again.

Aldi announced on Wednesday that they would be getting the drink in stock for a limited time only, on an exclusive deal of £1.99 per bottle. Photos shared on social media show the shoppers queuing outside Aldis in Govan and Airdrie before the doors opened on Thursday morning (December 29).

Stock of the drink sold out at other branches in Paisley, Govan Bellshill and Aberdeen. In a photo of a queue in Paisley, the poster wrote on Twitter: "Queue at Aldi Paisley @prime_tracker shop staff have us well organised."

They later added: "3 bottles of Prime from Aldi Paisley. 1 happy kid. @prime_tracker. Can't praise the staff there enough, no hassle getting at all."

Prime Energy is marketed as a low calorie hydration drink that contains no added sugar. It is mostly made up of water, coconut water, vitamins and minerals. It comes in a wide variety of flavours but is not a proper energy drink as it does not contain caffeine.

The drink was only available at Asda with a limit of up to three bottles per customer when it went on sale in October.

Bottles of Prime are available in Aldi for a limited time only, priced at £1.99 per item.
