Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:39 GMT

HONOLULU (KHON) — A new beverage called "Prime" is swiftly gaining popularity, especially among kids. However one version of the drink packs quite a caffiene punch.

The other, a high-caffeine energy drink, contains more caffeine than a Red Bull.It's not uncommon these days to spot people carrying "Prime" at various venues, from parks to schools. The hydration variant comes in a bottle, devoid of any caffeine. However, the energy drink version is packed into a 12-ounce can, boasting a hefty 200 milligrams of caffeine.
