yo y'all
the absolute, wonderful and indeed overwhelming positive of this post is that it delivers the news that i need never ever set foot in a branch, or chapter, of Asda again. not that i have any particular quarrel or argument with this retailer, look you see. rather more that, like many others (and indeed the staff of this particular store) i have grown weary and tired of frequent trips ending in if not disappointment then a sense of wasting time.
i speak, of course, of the mysteries and vagaries of this "prime" drink. and drink, i believe, is the safest term i have to describe it as accurate. so far as i am aware there's all sorts of particular branding of it, with it being marketed as for sports, or hydration, or something. this would be the drink devised, produced, promoted or endorsed (perhaps a combination thereof) by some of them kids what do the videos on that there internet what all the kids appear to watch. no, sorry, i can't quite recall their names, but i suspect it is so that their fame and fortune exceeds a level where they would need me to advocate them.
of course it was so that my sons, or heirs if you will (time is a thing), very much wished to be "in" on all this craze. and rightly so, for following trends and being hip is what it is to be young in the world we crated. my regular, frequent trips to Asda stores, across the land, proved futile. happy days, for their mother managed to score some after several trips.
have i tried this stuff? yes, the boys very kindly (indeed graciously) allowed me one (1) sip. no, this wasn't really revelatory or life altering. my abiding memory, i suppose, was how "thick" the liquid is. a bit like drinks what we used to get freely in the 70s and 80s, until they reduced the content of certain elements in such. fragments of flat tizer to the taste of this particular variation, maybe. my conclusion, for what value such is, is that the appeal here is certainly the endorsement, the people behind it and the trend rather than the actual contents of the product.
good luck to those still seeking this out, and a particular "shout out" to parents on a quest to get it for their own offspring. what shall be interesting to see is, as and when the drink experiences proliferation, and is more widely available, if the popularity (and demand) remains. each and every trend comes to an end, i write, recalling loom bands and fidget spinners in the most recent of times.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
