We’ve covered the conspiracy theories about the Paul brothers, the UFC, and PRIME. We’ve reviewed all the drinks. Now it’s time to see how PRIME’s energy drinks stack up against each other. Which flavors leave the octagon as champions, and which depart in shame?

Note: Scores in the headings are from September 2023. The cards show live Shark Scores.

#1: Lemon Lime (91)

If you like lemon-lime, or energy drinks in general, you should check out PRIME Lemon Lime.

Knowing PRIME is promoted by KSI and Logan Paul, I didn’t expect a solid energy drink, let alone an excellent one. The lemon-lime and carbonation blend into an amazing flavor that hits your taste buds instantly.

The only other lemon-lime energy drinks I can think of are Uptime Original Citrus and Celsius Lemon Lime, and this stacks up with Uptime, one of my all-time favorites. I’m impressed, and I get why organizations like the UFC and the LA Dodgers partner with PRIME.

#2: Strawberry Watermelon (90)

The strawberry watermelon combination tastes like summer in a can.

Extremely refreshing. Both fruits come through equally strong, with an unexpected synergy that’s especially clear in the sweet aftertaste. After a disappointing second can for me, PRIME bounced back, and Strawberry Watermelon went straight to the top of the leaderboard.

#3: Tropical Punch (85)

If you like “red” flavor, you’ll like this from PRIME.

PRIME did a good job here. It’s sweet and very carbonated like the rest, but it comes together in a well-balanced sip. It tastes almost identical to Reign Inferno Red Dragon, which is an excellent drink. Tropical Punch met my high expectations. If you’ve never had a PRIME, start here.

#4: Blue Raspberry (75)

If you like blue raspberry, I think you’ll like this drink, but don’t expect to be blown away.

It doesn’t slap as hard as I hoped, but don’t get it twisted, it’s still good. Typical blue raspberry, but with a strong aftertaste I’m not a fan of. Maybe the coconut water doesn’t mix well with blue raspberry. It’s becoming clear that PRIME has a signature flavor beyond the fruit itself, from its sucralose and coconut water, and that base works better with some fruits than others.

#5: Orange Mango (73)

If you really love artificial orange flavor, something like Tang, this may be up your alley.

Disappointing, mostly because I’m comparing it to Lemon Lime. There’s still a nice mix of sweetness and carbonation, but orange mango doesn’t hit the same, and the sweetness tastes more artificial. I like it, but it’s nothing special.
