A popular sports drink called Prime, created by Logan Paul and KSI, is causing a stir among New Zealand teens.

Even though the drink is banned in some Australian schools, it is being sold online in New Zealand at prices six times higher than the retail price.
The brand offers a hydration drink, an energy drink loaded with caffeine, and powder sticks that can be mixed with water.

The energy drink has double the legal limit of caffeine allowed in a drink, which has raised health concerns.

Schools in Australia have already banned these drinks due to worries about student health.

Experts are raising concerns about the potential adverse effects of high doses of caffeine and emphasize that water is sufficient for hydration.
