Senator calls for FDA probe into Logan Paul's energy drink

- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2023
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate the high caffeine content of Prime Energy drinks, which he claims are being targeted to children as “one of the summer’s hottest beverages for kids.” Prime launched in January 2022 and is a joint creation between influencers (and former boxing rivals) Logan Paul from the US and Olajide “KSI” Olatunji, who is from the United Kingdom. CNN's Vanessa Yurkevich and Meg Tirrell have more. #CNN #News
FDA investigation summary : PARENT YOUR KIDS. ffs
Too bad the Paul parents didn't do a good job with that.
What is the point of having an FDA at all if they are ok with companies advertising drinks with twice as much caffeine as an energy drink to kids? Then we just point to, well, the parents should know that. Might as well advertise alcoholic beverages to kids as well…
@@nettegaines2067damn
CoffeeZilla is going to have a field day with this!!! 😂😂
I hope coffeezilla had a field day with the accuser. Children not supposed to drink that much caffeine? And the sky is blue. Lmao
Scott Shafer already covered it.
Coffee will cover the accusations of too much caffeine later.
logan paul is a truly corrupt shameless troll who needs to be bankrupted.
You couldn't pay me to drink that crap
That’s great for no but nobody else cares what you drink or don’t drink 🤡
heres 100 bucks💵 , you taking?😏
Made by Bud Light.
Granted, we all consume too much sugar, but allowing kids to watch drag queers, or boys use girls bathrooms....... c'mon man, let's prioritize the dangers to our kids!
I'm sure Democrats are on this, they'll make 6 packs of Coke illegal and go after everyone (and their friends and family) who saw, drank, or even thought about drinking Coke. Unless their last name is Biden.
I don't think anything good will ever come from Logan Paul lol
Yeah, I just imagine a ad where they do it like in those movie trailers "from the makers of pirates of the carribean" jst in this case its more like "from one of the biggest douches on the planet, the one and only photographer who will take that pic, even when you hanging dead from a tree ...... LOGAN PAAAAAAAAUL!" .
The sad thing is kids would still buy it
The little kids are the only ones buying this shit but it works because they have such a huge following of all kids
Well, Starbucks can allow a kid to come to the counter and order a tripple shot, white chocolate Lattee, and nobody bats an eye...
That's 204mg right there...
@@justsomedude7042 i personally feel like it’s a parent issue something the parents should decide but you have to be active with your child for this to work which many people are not sadly
@@TriggaTrey361 I absolutely 💯 agree.
Diabetes and heart failure are gonna be so high in the next 20 years it's gonna be insane
Yes I've cut back on sugar, junk bagged/boxed food, salt and drinking more water! I don't want self induced diabetes or high blood pressure! Blood pressure is pretty good and blood work coming soon
I NEVER SEE THIS BEER THERE IN BRAZIL
Going on 62 and have always been a junk food junkie and never had much problems until about 6 months ago when I had some major issues I wont go into but it was caused by my unhealthy diet of fast food and junk food and sugar drinks, I have cut 90% of sugar out of my diet, I now eat fruit and vegtables and salads daily, stuff I use to avoid lol, I have tons of energy now too without crashing and needed caffine and sugar, yes you see these young people overweight starring at their phones 10 hours a day and who drink all this caffine and sugar daily there is going to be major health issues when these folks get older if they do.
before I retired I worked with this young kid who would drink about 4 or 5 16 oz mountian dews a day, dude was batty as hell , emotional nut case who missed more work then anybody else I ever worked with.
Yeah? Ya think?
But you're okay with Starbucks... kids go in there on the daily, ordering tripple and quad shot lattee, random flavors...
And you and allow us know, that's the fad, and cool thing...
But it's also 204-245mg of caffeine. And kids can just walk right up and buy it.
That's why America is #1!!!
It has a warning on the can… Then all is good…F’N NOT! 😮
About the equivalent of two cups of coffee Nanny Schumer.
Thank you for having a brain... jesus... 95-200mg a cup, depending on who makes it.
200mg minimum. Hahahaha. Most cups of coffee are that much. A cup of coffee under 100mg is doing NOTHING in terms of brain stimulation.
But Prime's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Ever heard of this magical additive called salt?
@@kurtpleavinI believe it was a reference to Idiocracy.
@@ThePhenom777 ahhhh, I should really watch that one day.
@@kurtpleavinyou should
Because kids never do anything behind their parents backs, ever. 🙄
If it isn't FDA approved why is it on the shelf?
because republicans gutted their funding and over turned their power
Every energy drink I’ve ever had tastes really chemically. Not really a fan but then I’m British so if I want caffeine I’ll just make a pot of tea 🫖
Caffeine in tea? Lmwoooooooooo
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 yes, there’s caffeine in tea. Google it, it’s not that much lower than coffee if you steep it. And it’s infinitely preferable to coffee, which I’m allergic to anyway.
It wasn't Hunter's cocaine it was mine cocaine
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 yes its normal
Funny geezer
kids can't drink prime but they can get hormone blockers ?🤪
Both bad and unnecessary for children. Let them wait ( in both situations) until 18!
Gay shit lives in homophobes head rent free apparently. Even if it’s never mention or not the topic of conversation, yall odd motherfuckers will always find an avenue to bring it up. That’s called subconscious projection.
@Zigest the energy drink would be worse in my opinion! I have no problem with transgender. It is a real mental issue and transition is necessary to make a person feel whole. …when you’re 18!
Logan needs to pay back his crypto scam victims back
Kids should steer clear of energy drinks. Maybe parents should monitor this?
They will never advocate for parents to be parents. The government is your parents.
Never heard of it. I have to see what is all the fuss. Thanks Chuck.
Did they miss BANG ENERGY DRINKS???? 300mg per can.
Or a cup of coffee having 95-200mg?
Seriously. My fiancée teaches high school, and her students went through a phase with BANG where they'd have two or three a day. She got hooked on the caramel apple flavor and it messed her up for awhile (she never drinks coffee or energy drinks, maybe just a Coke a few times a week).
I'm not sensitive to caffeine since I'm a twice daily amphetamine user, but I wouldn't buy em either since they were like $3.50 a pop. Where do kids get the cash for these things? I was paying for my car at that age. Damn.
USA is a wonderland. Drugs are OK, caffeine is not 😂🤣😅😆😁😄
We have fentanyl crisis and a opioid crisis as well as many harmful products in our stores and these mfs are worried about prime 😂. This country is a joke
I find it funny that they're worried about their kids but once they turn into an adult we forget all about them try telling me that I'm wrong
You cant have a caffeine drink, but if you want to chemically castrate yourself then no parental permission needed 😂
This is free advertising
I mean the money he stole from his crypto scheme would’ve been a better place to start 😂
Cryptozoo. It's a game where you make cryptocurrency! What could possibly go wrong about that?
Wait y’all were drinking that lol
The ppl really pissed are Red Bull and Coke.
Two cups of coffee. And they claim its a crime in one bottle. But they are not offended by the amount of sugar 😅 ...which is the no1 killer.
All these anchors probably had 300mg of caffeine at the time of recording this
200mg per cup of coffee. America is one of the most caffeinated countries in the world. Some people drink 5-7 cups a day with no prob.
It has about 200 mg of caffeine which is about 35 mg more than the Monster/Rockstar energy drink standards. The G force/Bang/Reign energy drinks have 300 mg of which has been increasing in popularity. I seriously doubt that this 70+ year old career politician just randomly stumbled upon this energy drink and decided to target it. It makes one wonder if there are ulterior motives behind this that are connected to donors.
Of course! It cuts into Adderall and Ritalin sales.
So I’m not disagreeing but just pointing out if we are so worried about unhealthy products being marketed to children as we claim why are we not going after McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Dairy Queen etc with the same energy? They use flashy advertising, their products are high in sugar and fat, they make false claims that it’s healthy for kids to consume. But they have been around for DECADES. It just makes no sense.
One thousand percent. But can we just focus on garbage store food? Wal mart is full with absolute TRASH in the frozen section! That s*** kills much faster!
HEY! You leave DQ out of this conversation. I don't care what all is in the Royal Fudge and Cake, but I've been asking since the 90s for them to bring it back.
@@cheezykrafts8134damn
WHERE ARE THESE KIDS’ PARENTS?!
5 CANS is capable of killing an Adult.
*200mg of caffeine
*Every kid with a pre workout addiction🙄
There are 2 types of prime drink. Prime Energy and prime Hydration. Prime Hydration is safe for kids (no caffein) Clearly kids love it cause it’s sweet as shit too. Even the lemonade flavor, it’s sweet. I work for a company that sells this product on a large scale.
Yeah, artificial sweeteners so young.
@@justtestingonce There aren’t a bunch of harmful stuff in the drink. I work for a vitamin shop where we sell vitamin, minerals, protein and homeopathic shit. Prime hydration just has like electrolytes and coconut water and shit. Most snacks for kids or sweet stuff in general has artificial shit in it. You have to ingest in moderation. It’s up to the parents. No one is forcing this shit down kids throats and I turn away a lot of people who try to but the caffeinated drink for kids.
@@justtestingonce I’m very sure you have your vices buddy.
@@justtestingoncehey, this is America. You have 80g of sugar per bowl of cereal for breakfast. Lol
@@aliasanew3398 the marketing here is aimed at kids though but the parents have to bear final responsibility but some kids share it at school, which brings it back to marketing.
Kids are buying and smoking crack and this fool worried about an energy drink lol
Even in the 80s you're comment isn't true. Eliminate the name Chuck Schumer and use critical thinking to come to a conclusion.
@@josecampos7157 Fentanyl laced crack I meant, my bad.
They have laws against children possessing and using crack though they don't have any laws about children drinking energy drinks that's why it's being addressed.
@@gettingannoyedquick The problem is the laws aren’t being followed and needs to be addressed asap. I’m sick of seeing kids smoking crack every morning on my way to work. The police literally just drive by them and do nothing. They can’t be but 8 or 9 years old. Sickening!
@@Sfhakrn Then that's the police not doing their job not the FDA not doing their job. The FDA is doing their part by looking into something that can be legally bought.
You answered your own questions here .. prime hydration was for the kids and the energy drink is for adults 18plus .. don't let kids buy it
If this was a republican CNN would call him crazy lmao.
Wow some of it ended up down here in the Virgin Islands where I am I actually tried the lemon lime flavor it was okay but it wasn't all that great the picture of the bottle is on my community tab🤔
More important shit happening 😂
Some of the bottles in Australia has mould inside them.
These numbers shouldn't shock anyone! Here in Merica, we're over working and under sleeping. It's these drinks or, blow but you can't demonize everything 😢
Yeah? These drinks?
Hmmm...
You know a cup of coffee can have from 95 to 200mg of caffeine in it?
I'll bet you have no issue with Starbucks...
But they allow teens to walk into their store and order a tripple shot lattee of whatever flavor they want... no questions asked.
That's 205mg right there...
Logan and KSI arnt bending to the Agenda... so, they're being targets instead. And Logan is, really rich. So, yeah... I wonder why they're after him.
If that’s the case, we have to demonize coffee. Oh, but campaigners don’t cater it to the “young” audience. Logan is scummmm of the world, but this is beyond pathetic and someone trying to make a quick Buck to sue. Welcome to shiterica
Man's gotta point. Let's see these guys in government work a factory job for 12 hours a day all week and see how they feel after. I bet a cold refreshing drink with a little caffeine would go a long way...
If I was the owner of Prime Logan and KSI I would be sending Chucky slimeball gifts for about to make the company's sales go thru the roof. People are getting really sick of politicians.
They should......at #RepublicanPoliticians🤔
Translation, Logan Paul hasn’t given money to Dems 😂
What about investigating the scam showboat Logan pulled over crypto/ game that coffeezilla uncovered
Besides, that massive amount of caffeine provokes high blood pressure, high heart rate and nervousness...😮
That “massive amount of caffeine” is the same as 2 cups of coffee..
@@SH-jg1ri 2 cups of coffee contain 80 mg of caffeine ( 40 mg each). Those "energy drinks" contain between 240 mg and 320 mg depending on the brand name 😲
@@user-ng8ue6xf1m there are 95mg per 8 ounces of coffee try again fool.
@@SH-jg1ri Whatever....
Ask hunter how he gets his "pep"...
Coke.
I find it funny how they push the transgender and gay agenda to the kids no problem, but for some reason an energy drink is a big issue😂😂
My rockstar zero has 240mg caffeine in it, they tried to make it sounds crazy
did paul did that nft scam how is he not allready arrested for that ?
Let’s continue to not talk about real American issues
Hmm… I didn’t see caffeine on the side of the label.
Cause there’s two primes. The bottle and the can. They’re acting like the can only exists. The bottle doesn’t have caffeine in it, only electrolytes.
Not recommended for people under 18. But full grown people get away with pushing kids toward irreversible hormones and surgeries every single day. Priorities people! Priorities!
What a national embarrassment he is. I hope Paul sues. Chuck gives a press conference about this, while McDonald's has Happy Meals...
Doesn't Michael Obama have a straight up sugar drink coming out aimed at kids?
Must be her competition thus Chuckie is on it.
🤦parents buy groceries not kids 🙋🏿WE LOVE PRIME 🕺🏾👼🏿
Why Did Jānis Einfelds Refer To The Tennessee AG As King Lear ?
The stuff should be regulated like alcohol.
amazon prime and logan paul collaborate on an energy drink- what could possibly go wrong?
genius, amazon has no connection with this drink
@@davediamond7228 this has prime as the name because amazon sponsored it, dummy.
So what is the problem here ? Bad parenting?
The straight up prime drink sucks because it’s electrolyte balance is messed up. They have 10mg of sodium but 700mg(ish) of potassium.
So if bud light uses Dylan mulvaney as a spokesperson and his following are all young children then who is bud light advertising towards? CHILDREN....You kind of missed that one!!!!!
A 16 year old can legally buy an energy drink but can't buy beer at that age that's the difference.
@@gettingannoyedquickSo it's legal to market to 16 year olds then.
@@ThePhenom777 the difference is Logan Paul has created a career around entertaining and advertising to children. He’s the Joe camel of energy drinks.
Prime must be cutting into somebody who is a friend of these politicians sales.
, they've never cared about other energy drinks before.
THIS BEER IS MUCH DIFFERENT
My bf had heart palpitations after drinking an energy drink last weekend! He doesn’t drink them on a regular basis but drinks pop on a daily basis. I have never even tried an energy drink, coffee or tea is enough for me. I think this stuff should be outlawed honestly!
If you want to make a good energy drink be like c4 and put niacin in it. That makes my skin crawl.
Sound of Freedom
So instead of taking care of the gun problems we have in this country and shootings and deaths and fentanyl problems. They’re worried about a energy drink. Waste of taxpayers dollars yet again.
My nephew had thought he bought the hydrate one an end up being the wrong one.. later on that day had a really bad stomach ache
Yeah? So?
I'll bet you would allow them to go into a coffee shop and get something right? Not knowing a cup of coffee is 95-200mg...
A tripple shot lattee is 204mg...
But nobody bats an eye at Starbucks... and we all know kids are still crazy about buying it, because they can look cool and adult.
So its a preworkout
No prescription needed for alcohol & the government loves the revenue.
This is an amazing viral marketing strategy, trying to take it away just makes people want it more, yummy yum yum
Only morons in an echo chamber would buy it because it's "banned"(it isn't). If you wish to purchase a product aimed at pre teens go ahead. Keep in mind, a millennial that has not worked a day in his life will be collecting the profits.p
Our economy is tanking, but Schumer is worried about caffeine?
The first and only time I tried any "energy drink" was waaaay back in the early 1990's when Red Bull was the hype. Didnt like it never tried it or any competitor again.
Always found it questionable how the fizzy drink companies target kids as the easy prey with stuff that is in no way shape or form remotely close to the edge of being healthy or even neutral. Its sugar, chemicals and caffeine...
Good for you
Was never a fan of energy drinks. Prefer either coca-cola, root beer, or pepsi.

FDA just wants there cut of money
American version of Red Bull only more potent!😂😂
Prime LITE with 199mg caffeine. Fixed it
I have yet to see a 12ounce version of Prime. The cans are huge so I would guess that caffeine can total is 2 or 3 times that.
The cans are 12oz… stop lying to just agree with your puppet masters
Prime is so nasty
Id rather my dad drank this....than 'sell avon!"
200 mg of caffeine per can. There are energy drinks that have 700 mg per can. Chuck Schumer doesn't go after the other energy drink companies. Chuck Schumer must have money in the other brands.
1200mg can result in a overdose yes a caffeine overdose worked in a hospital seen many caffeine overdoses when energy pills first hit the market.
America overdosed on a variety of drugs. Anything in excess is bad, including water. You never heard of anyone dying from too much caffeine.
I heard people have 7 cups of coffee every day. One cup = 200mg x 7 is 1400
Bingo

I drink one energy drink a day in the morning. I stay away from monsters. Typically either NOS and Reign. Buy them in bulk to make it cheaper. I tried Prime. After 4 days I had what felt like a stroke. It wasn't anything permanent. But I immediately stopped and went back to the other stuff. Been fine ever since.
Hahaha damn. Haven’t been in shiterica for 10 years, but monsters were popular early 00s? Nos I believe I drank that a few times from 2012-2013. Pretty disgusting. Great boost for working out.
Lmao so prime made you have a stroke four days later. Cut that bullshittttt
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 Where are you living? UK?
Prime has less caffeine then reign… fun fact liar
@@SH-jg1ri I'm well aware of that. That's why that was a weird event. Something else in it. Not the amount of caffeine.
Are you kidding me dude? Really? Congress is wasting their time on energy drinks.
Stop these stupid drinks from even getting to market. Kids are killing themselves…
Logan has gone way too far.. how irresponsible
Energy drinks are as addicting as cigarettes. They should ne taxed the same.
He has stepped on someone in Washington
Never liked any of the energy drinks. Tried it gives me indigestion
Starbucks grande iced coffees has almost 300mg
If it’s for 18 and older then it any consumer buying it SHOULD BE ID!!! Parents shouldn’t buy this shit for their kids, especially if it states “18 and older” on the damn package/product warning label. 😂
But you're cool with Starbucks selling Tripple shot lattee to kids... and they have been doing it forever.
That's 204mg...
Prime isn't marketing to kids, it's no Logans fault parents aren't doing their jobs and watching the content their kids watch... app his stuff is 18 plus... I loathe the guy, but railroading him because he refused to political agenda is BS.
A cup of coffee has from 95 to 200mg in it.
I could go down the lists. Nobody cries when their fat kid Timmy, drinks three 32 oz or soda a day though.
Logan Paul should stick to boxing wrestlers.
Are we really surprised Logan Paul is doing something problematic for money and clout as usual?
Can anyone point out where they've specifically marketed to kids...
Cause it seems like sponsorship of youth programs.

Bro. I've seen dumbass kids drinking it and then crying on tiktok.. I find that absolutely HILARIOUS.
For people to drink these is idiotic to me, your just doing a disservice to yourself.
The sports drink is disgusting and definitely should not be drank by children.
