They only did this because they are sitting on a bunch of inventory they can’t sell, so they used it for marketing, check out LegalEagle on youtube he has a 20 minute video on the lawsuit they are facing, they agreed a contract to have a custom factory line built then backed off when sales plummeted
You mean tax deductions… More lucrative than just biting the loss.
Not sure how the Us tax system works, but I am guessing storing inventory is also not free
Isn’t that a good thing in this case? If they lose slightly less money when donating compared to burning the money companies are more likely to donate it.
How the fuck does this guy have a career after the suicide forest video?
You’re not concerned about the multi million dollar Bitcoin scam or just didn’t know? Dudes up to all sort of shady shit
Lol, I know, it’s just amazing the shit this guy gets away with.
The man has also been involved in numerous scams.
I’m obviously not his demographic, but my wife (a teacher) says that there are loads of kids 10 and upwards that love Logan Paul and KSI. I think the suicide forest thing predates many of them, or they just don’t know/care about it.
I have recently started watching some streamers. The suicide forest stuff is just par for the course. The entire genre is largely based around doing things you aren’t supposed to do for content.
In this world of marvel movies, conspiracy theories, and other unreal distractions, there is something both addictive and refreshing about just seeing an unfiltered idiot who is fucking around and finding out. I actually think watching streamers has made me a little more socially confident. If they can be that reckless and have it turn out ok most of the time, then maybe I don’t have to be anxious about things that might happen in public when I’m being reasonably careful.
This sounds interesting to me. Do you mind sharing a couple of examples?
Of course! I mostly watch streamers on Kick, which I loudly warn you has a chat culture similar to 4Chan. Be prepared.
One of the first streamers I started watching live was ShakoMako. She is a woman from Iraq whose family fled to Germany during the war. She has several screws loose, but there is something weirdly endearing about her. She reminds me of a character in a Gaspar Noe film—an alluring train wreck of a human.
Shako travels the world and has absolutely no consideration for her safety. This week, I watched her go up to strangers in Egypt, negotiating cheap or free tours of the slums in their personal cars or carts, and then wandering around those slums with her two phones visibly out, a fake gold weed leaf gangster chain swangin’, and telling anybody who will listen that she wants to find the really haram shit.
Before watching streamers for hours on end, I would have been certain that this kind of behavior would definitely lead her to be raped and killed in the streets of Cairo. Yet I’ve watched her do this in nearly a dozen countries, and so far she has had only one close call with a driver in Laos who took her to a remote spot and then ditched her.
I don’t condone any of this behavior, but seeing an unedited version of how far the line can actually be pushed has helped me a lot in realistically assessing danger when I’m in the streets or traveling. If Shako can survive her time in the slums of Egypt, I will be fine walking down a public street in Mexico, or New York, or wherever.
Other kick streamers to check out:
SuzieSmalls - a three foot tall entertainer who streams her life as a recovering alcoholic in NYC.
DBR666 - a former dealer from London who travels around trolling people, he does a pretty good job of making pranks funny and not too mean.
Shoovy - 18 years old, reckless as hell, currently headed straight into the path of the hurricane for content. He might not live, and I’ll be amazed if the cell signal holds, but I’ll definitely be tuning in to check up on him.
Lmao thanks for the write up, definitely gonna check out ShakoMako, that sounds absolutely mad
Shako is great. She is traveling to another country right now, so she will probably stream again in a day or two.
I’m watching Shoovy right now, and I seriously think this guy is going to die.
Edit: Shoovy didn’t die, but he was arrested for armed burglary today: https://streamable.com/sx4ksm
Why tf would you support this kind of bullshit? Do you really crave the brainrot? Do you really need this much of an escape? It’s a cancer and you’re actively injecting yourself with it. Why?

Well, they can’t sell it, may as well get a tax break on it.
These people lost everything. Maybe we should monetize a video about sending a truckload of bibles and coyote urine! We’re super awesome, y’all!
I broke down and bought a pack of Prime to try recently after seeing it everywhere, even in the hands of people I don’t associate with the whole Logan Paul circus.
It tasted like piss and chemicals. If you’re at all sensitive to the taste of sucralose, it’s like drinking battery acid. I simply cannot fathom how it is as successful as it is.
edit: typo
It’s got electrolytes, its what hurricane survivors crave. Brought to you by Truth Social.

It has a lot of potassium
Kids, their taste buds are still developing so when they taste it and don’t instantly vomit they think it tastes good. After that their taste buds are permanently shifted towards those types of flavors, making the problem worse. Should be illegal.
It’s targeted towards kids, and parents who don’t know any better get it for them.
It’s a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn’t make sense.
And, y’know, it’s just fully a scam. It’s mostly successful because he’s famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.
The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.
I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I’ve had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I’m not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.
Just a swallow or sip of sucralose I fused drinks can send my to bed in a dark room due to migraines.
That drink may kill me.

You need to work on that. That’s not good.
I couldn’t find where I saw/heard it, but I swear I saw a blurb about PRIME drinks containing polyfluoroalkyl, which is what allows jackets and tents to repel water…
I did however find a Consumer Reports article.
Eh, if someone comes up with such a comparison it immediately tells that they don’t know what they’re talking about. Like, linseed oil was also used for waterproofing (oilskin), yet it is quite healthy. Other applications/occurences of a substance simply don’t tell you anything about it being good or bad for you.
Well, PFAs are definitely not good for you.
Alt headline:
Multi-millionaire donates tax write off of $12,652, adds, “These cattle better be taking photos of this shit and sharing while mentioning the brand or I’m not fucking doing it!”
You know they are sending thousands of bottles of whatever flavor didn’t test well that has been sitting in a warehouse, too.
“Peanut butter schnapps”?
Just because it’s (potentially) a tax write off doesn’t mean they gain any money. It means that they either lose slightly less money or that they can donate more for the same amount, depending on how you see it.
Technically they don’t gain money no, but they get:
- To move or dispose of product, making sales look better
- Free marketing, both in people having the drinks and to say “look we did a charity”
- To pay their taxes with effectively free money, because they take the product that they made for pennies, and count it as a “donation” at full price. Meaning that all the “profit” they would have made on markup goes straight to paying the taxes instead of making the money and paying taxes on the money they already made.
It’s why a company donating their product is always better for them than a regular person donating cash. They are effectively still making money it’s just this time they are making money specifically to pay off their taxes.
Great, so anyone allergic or sensitive to coconut water is fucked. Great job Mr. Influencer. If you can’t do aid right, don’t get in the way of the professionals.
Anyone who is allergic to coconut has my sincere pity, because coconut might be my favorite of all flavors.
Fuck prime and the paul brothers but you can’t dismiss people/companies providing aid. By providing aid like this it frees up other resources for others to use. The professionals relay on any aid that they can get so long as it isn’t going to hurt anyone. Someone allergic to something will know what they can/can’t have.
Again fuck prime and it’s a shit resource but when you’re desperate you’ll take what you can to stay alive.
That’s not how it works. You go down the line handing out pre-made bundles. This isn’t a grocery store.

Not true. I actually like candy.
True fact once I was getting a drink with my younger brother and he asked me to get him a Prime, kid took about three sips before he gave up on the rest and got a glass of water, lmao.
It’s got what victims crave.
It’s got electrolytes
The sweetness would make life bitter
How did I not know these jackasses made Prime? Makes me feel guilty for the two I gagged down a year ago.
Did your spouse die and everything in your home is ruined by water damage? Here’s a bottle of Prime. You’re welcome.
