Lol what’s wrong with people ?

It’s a bottled drink, not even worth the retail price. Yet people are paying up to 100gbp for it.. and buying EMPTY bottles
for more than new full bottles sell for ??

Is this some sort of medical study to find out which British babies were dropped on their heads or something ? ? None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it being reported. Strange how some so called social media influencers can create such a frenzied response from their true believers. It's a bottle of overpriced sugar water for fecks sake.

Am I the only one who read the tittle & thought this thread was about people wasting their money buying cr@p off Amazon

Whoops, didn't mean to mislead like that. I don't use Amazon prime so wasn't really thinking that - but since I've wasted way too much time on Facebook over the last few days or so I've seen a few articles pop up about this stupid drink selling like crazy in the UK. Was just super weird to read that people are going nuts over buying some lame energy drink in a bottle.. of all the things consumers go nuts for - a bottled drink?? It's not like it's even some real tangible lasting thing like trying to get a toy for a kid when it comes out, or the latest release of a video game (these things are Also stupid to lineup overnight for, but a little more understandable), or concert tickets that are in very short supply and high demand... but some stupid drink sold by some internetfaceguy ?? Weirdos!

Now it's made local news how stupid it is that a $3 drink is reselling for up to $250 for literally no reason besides stupid people with too much money to spend:

Makes me wonder if they sell it here and I should be shipping this isht out by the case..

I also thought that.

Seems to me this is proof that some people have more money than they have brains.

A things value is whatever one person is willing to pay for it. Its cost is not the same thing.

Me too I've never paid for Prime but always used the free trials (binge the TV available) and cancel it before you have to pay.
