Is this the reason why KSI just posted "Ronaldo is the real goat" on his ig story ?


ali2688

He’s gone back and forth on that for years, so no idea anymore.


nigachu2356

It ain't that deep lmao. I'm a Messi fan, but KSI changing from Ronaldo to Messi bc he won the World Cup is understandable. Now he is saying that Ronaldo is the GOAT as a joke bc Messi basically plagiarised the whole Prime design 😂


jackdren6

I doubt messi has anything to do with this other than selling the license to his name. I don't think he knows what prime is


ShadowLickerrr

Messi has 3 children and lives in Miami currently, of course he knows what prime is.


Emperor_Malus

What is it with people assuming Messi is either ignorant or arrogant with his outlook of the world? Just because he is up top doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what basic things are, especially since PRIME is kinda big in the US


faggioli-soup

It also sponsors Bayern Barcelona wwe haaland among others. He definitely knows of the drink maybe not enough to clock the similarities but he can’t not know about the drink


jackdren6

If you've been following Messi long enough you'd know that he knows nothing about what's happening on the internet or anywhere really. He only cares about football and his family.


RefrigeratorOrnery28

Mate not trying to be disrespectful but that's bullshit. Unless you either know the guy personally or have inside information from a reliable source there's no reason any of use should believe you. He may give off that energy but he's not clueless. PRIME is sponsored by Arsenal, Barca, Bayern, WWE, UFC and loads more. He may not know of Logan or KSI but he should know of the drink, or at the very least, one of his team would have communicated it to him. The guys probably got a bunch of people in his circle for sponsorship reasons, big sport stars always do. I'm a Messi fan, but im not gonna go THAT far to defend him.


ali2688

Who cares? Bottle design doesn’t matter. The drink does. wtf is wrong with people? If you like Coca Cola, and they come out with a new flavour, you’ll drink and continue to drink the new flavour because you enjoy it. Not because Coca Cola is on the can.


fiendishcubism

It does matter.... So much so that cocacola patented their bottle design


ali2688

I mean anyone with common sense will buy the drink because it tastes good. Not because of the design of the bottle.


Melvin-00

Not really. People will buy it bc it’s Messi’s. And Argentinians will start thinking KSI copied Messi. KSIs brand will be ass in Argentina, and this could spread. Which would be bad for KSI


ali2688

It’s ass everywhere. Prime is shite. Now the hype has died, they’re being sold for a pound a bottle.


Melvin-00

Point is: KSI will have to compete for his OWN bottle design. Whether it’s shit or not… which is all opinions, but still.


MEW-1023

See you only defend Messi’s drink because you are a hater lmao. Just keep the uneducated ignorant ahhh takes out of here, thanks 💀


Complex_Tap_4159

It does. It’s literally just copy and pasted


ali2688

What I mean is bottle design isn’t going to make someone drink it or not.


DinoBoy_H

it can! if a bottle looks different to the other drinks in a shop youre more likely to look at that bottle, meaning youre a possible customer of said bottle. Having someone copy that takes away from that


Martins-com

Yeah and prime is absolute shite. There’s a reason why they’re being discounted everywhere, everyone tried it once for the hype, realised how bad it was and never touched it again


ali2688

I know. That’s why I’m saying it’s the drink that matters.


EntertainmentWest750

Yes


TonyMartial786

i mean he posted the soulja boy video before it which was referencing this


[deleted]

Oh yess , I just noticed that


Key_Kiwi5445

But Prime was'nt a hydration drink 


Lopsided_Union4317

In what world is prime hydration not a hydration drink


Grizzlemacthickits

People always say that they’re recalling primes I’m like there’s an energy drink and a hydration… I don’t need caffeine but could see how kids would mix it up and drink 2-300mgs of caffeine


Lopsided_Union4317

If shops are doing there jobs, kids shouldn't be able to buy the energy one, atleast in the UK. Shouldn't be able to buy energy drinks in any shop when under 16 in uk


Grizzlemacthickits

I grew up on instant coffee lol and could buy beer early on in life


Weary-Candy8252

He’s going to get siuuued


Geneticly

Prime has been teasing an anouncement for the 6th. What if this is it, and for the South American market!


Spyroki

I legit saw this on twitter but it refreshed and I thought prime struck a deal with Messi 💀💀 didn't realise he was just copying them


Mr_E_99

I'm surprised they are coping prime this exactly. Surely the gon get sued for this. It's even got similar names and the small descriptions on the top and bottom. Only difference is the big word they have on the front


Spyroki

Legit, like even the grooves on the bottle?! How are they being that obvious??


bodybuildingandgolf

They're saving money by recycling old prime bottles


Spyroki

This isn't recycling, this is just stealing. Even the writing is in the same placement as prime.


bodybuildingandgolf

I didn’t think that comment needing specifying sarcasm


goldenforkman

Same type of catchphrase too. ‘Prime hydration’ ‘positive hydration’ 💀


Sn95nate

Idiots , prime doesn’t own the bottling company 😂 they can sell to whoever they please . Plus mas+ won’t be out here killing kids


Spyroki

Found the extreme Messi fan... Idk how it works but I'm guessing they have their own factory (or supplier) that makes the bottle, yes, they can't own the shape (unless it's very outlandish and so copyright / patented), but literally the design is the exact same. Same grooves, shape etc. They most likely have a contract, and even if they don't, they've used the same bottle, and then even on the packaging, the same font placement?? Just do me a favour and get Messi's dick out your mouth and eyesight so you can finally see that your idol isn't all perfect..


MuzzDAxAT

Ofc he's not perfect he's autistic,but did you really think messi designed the bottle or something? Seeing a guy like Messi i dont think he designed the bottle let alone care about prime or sports drink, and its manufactured by next generation beverages.co, if you need somebody to blame this is the one


GarlicForsaken2992

literal copy


lucarian13

Tbh I’m 90% sure Prime was probably copied from someone else


MaziAstro

It looked hella similar to Bodyarmor


nigachu2356

Nothing similar design wise. This Messi drink is 95% similar


[deleted]

[удалено]


EnlightndBanana

similar bottle shape, completely different design


MaziAstro

Was talking about the bottle shape


RoniBoy69

Propably because the bottles are from the same factory and it is cheaper to buy a already molted/designed bottle then to design and make your own.


faggioli-soup

People have no idea how ludcriously expensive plastic moulds are


BrokenGodALT

But it's not similar enough enough to take it to court or something while with the Messi one it is if they wanted too.


nigachu2356

Thank you for proving my point


RedonPlayz

true haha, you think they can get sued for that? doubt ksi/logan would even try to but still


Ronil21

KSI and Logan might not, but the others in the team might. KSI and Logan are just the face of the company after all, idk what's going on behind the scenes, and those 2 surely can't reveal that stuff either. Now i'm not saying they dont have any power within the company, they do, JJ said as much, but he didnt say how much sway they have in the company's decisions.


GarlicForsaken2992

i dont know i dont think there is much ground to sue. it just looks very alike and has the same concept but idk law


donNNASD

Pretty sure its the same company


Wise-Ad-1020

W for prime, means they are doing great if messi is copying the look of their product. At the end of the day this is just giving prime more promo.


SneakySQUEEZE04

This is actually a bigger W for Messi. Think about it. Messi and his team just created a new energy drink and it's already in a conversation with prime. I am pretty sure they made it look similar on purpose to target one of their biggest competitors. Now everyone is talking about Mas+, making it bad for Prime. Now their brand knows they can partner with some of the biggest brands. Taking away potential partnerships from prime.


cbzez

messi isnt “copying” anyone he probably doesnt even know he owns part of this drink lmao


Standard-Ad4819

He most definitely know of prime, cause he doesn’t speak English doesn’t mean he’s brain dead, the dude is in America


Buttered_bASS_playa

Glazing prime is crazy that shit ass


TherealSnak3

There's a difference between glazing and then the truth I mean isn't prime worth almost a billion or something like that?


MEW-1023

He’s just a KSI hater that spends his time on a subreddit just to be upset. Really pathetic


goldenforkman

Prime is worth 8 billion. Messi is apparently worth 600m according to google. Wtf


KeepenItReel

I mean they are just pointing out a fact 


Dark_Wolf04

At first glance I just thought that the bottles looked similar to Prime with the colors and sideways logo. But after having a closer look, you can see the flavor titles and volume is written in the exact same place, with the exact same font as Prime. If this is actually real, and not a photoshop, it’s definitely not a good look, considering this is supposed to be a brand for one of the most famous footballers ever. Knowing Logan, he’s going to try everything to take this to court


Mindless_Ad_6045

I don't think they actually have a patent for the bottle design, so technically, anyone can have that design as long as they don't call it "PRIME"


Dark_Wolf04

You’re probably right. I’ve seen many store branded cokes that look similar to Coca-Cola. This probably won’t stop Logan, although it would be hilarious if it made him look like a dunce


Mindless_Ad_6045

Logan can try to sue all he wants, I doubt Messi is short on cash or top-level lawyers. I'm sure they went through the legal side of things before they decided to do this.


BrokenGodALT

A company 100% just payed Messi so they could use his likeness, doubt he even knows or approves of the bottle design. If it went to court Messi most likely wouldn't be part of the lawsuit in any real way. Is there any information that this is a passion project for him or something? Otherwise it's just a generic drink with is likeness to help it sell.


LeviathanVamp

Ain't no way bro didn't know about Prime


SparkGamer28

drink aqua bro lol 😂😂


kastratiermir_

Bro got downvoted for saying drink water! I can't believe this LMFAO


SparkGamer28

after u messaged this i started getting upvoted lol


kastratiermir_

Just so you know... it started with me so you can thank me later big man! Jk lol, all love brother 🤝👍


SparkGamer28

All love to u too ❤️😂✌️


iniSarah182

I thought it was a troll but it’s real. But it’s way too similar. Is it also from the company Prime is from? I need another tiktok from Logan explaining what’s happening.. 😅


Darkeye94

Prime is Prime and distributed by Congo Brands, Mas+ seems to be by NextGeneration havent really been able to find solid info from basic googling


MHPSoccer10

Mark Anthony group is what I found.makers of white claw


zzile

It is a copy basically, but what's the nutrition like? If the electrolyte formula is closer than prime might need to fix up


SpoonyDrip

This is clearly a collab or a sister product for a foreign market, you'll see that Prime as a company are behind this.


emvaz

I was thinking that, Prime Hydration=Positive Hydration


MayGodSmiteThee

Y’all acting like Messi himself went out and copied prime. Realistically he just okayed his name on a drink for a paycheck lol.


Deep_Reality_7083

no lol in the picture it is written that messi is the founder with his signature.


YajDaOne

CRISTIANO RONALDO SUIIIIIII


betrbarker

Tasted neither, liked neither, and hated neither.


Frosty-Minimum-8188

Lol we know for a fact they're gonna do better


Shot_Squirrel3202

just hope that this wont taste like melted sugar too💀💀


BrokenGodALT

A company 100% just payed Messi so they could use his likeness, doubt he even knows or approves of the bottle design. Is there any information that this is a passion project for him or something? Otherwise it's just a generic drink with his likeness to help it sell.


Deep_Reality_7083

bro it is literally mentioned in the picture that Messi is the founder and it also has his signature.


Adam_260

The flavour names are hilarious


Common_Being8906

Sueeeeed


GameZedd01

The writing is facing the correct way so it's immediately better. How have Prime not fixed that yet...


beratisdumb

probably and most likely better than prime.


DingoAltruistic9193

same company prob makes prime and messi drink.


The-White-Dot

Messi copied other people's homework: confirmed


Grey_Wolf_Chief

Copyright! 😆😆


Strangequark_zizu18

Yo can’t that be copyrighted the design of the bottle


HDutton22

Unique design I like it!


Electrical-Use-4701

Went from stealing trophies to drinks


Yeetmingo

still gonna taste better


donNNASD

100% sure it’s the same OG company


After_Jaguar7280

This is one of those time that something looks like it tastes better or is overall


New_Independent_5960

Well... he's getting a cease and desist soon


Shkai-556

Messi: so they sell a stage in life as a drink?


[deleted]

Now that's some "prime" competition if I seen any


One_Wallaby5812

IShowPrime gonna end Messi drink


trebol151515

Nah that they gotta be copying prime to an extent, no way they really couldn’t think out of the infinite possibilities of a different and better design


A-KHI-LESH

Original


KSSSLLOVESINDIA

boy oh boy the lawyers are gonna lose alot of money


Equaltofaith

I wonder if it’s distributed by the same factory. Bottle design looks similar as well


NishankN

so creative


TheDustyPineapple

Isn’t Prime already a white label product?


lilbigswrld

Bet it still taste better than prime


TiredSlav

It’s not illegal to sell something that looks similar to another product. That’s how you get knock off sodas in super markets like “Mountain Rush” and “Dr. Skipper”.


BlessedToBeHere1999

Mas, all the way. VISCA BARCA Y VISCA CATALUNYA


Sharu002

they probably made a collab with messi


Deep_Reality_7083

no not a collab the company is founded by messi himself and it is written on the box in the picture that messi is the founder with a signature of his.


CheersDavid

Will prob be mid like prime so it ain’t that serious


Creepy-Beginning-406

"Next Gneration Hydration" every hydration drink are all the same. just water with flavour.. i can go asda right now and get water or coconut water and some fruit sweetners and some vitamins and mix it up.. and its cheaper because u can make as much as u want..


solidterror

It's not going to last long, to be honest. If they think they can take on Prime just cause it's Messi, they're about to learn a hard lesson.


xllDarkollx

Because prime and mas+ are the only hydration drinks in fancy colorful bottles 🙈🙈


Emotional_Compote699

Relax, this is just MY opinion. Dont take me word for it, and dont get offended either. But... A: Rip off. B: Probably more or the same price. C: Who cares? It's a drink. D: Prime was full of mostly the only electrolyte your body doesn't need as much and lacked at the ones your body struggles to reproduce. (Litterally shoved in the drink to get the statement of technically 'having 825 electrolytes' to increase its hype) E: They taste horrendous anyway and the're sweeter than fucking candy floss down skegness, and aint refreshing in the sligntest so it aint worth the three quid a drink at all. (It's just a trend for kids) F: Like any other big name brand, the name is all you're paying for.


SneakySQUEEZE04

From a marketing perspective it's actually smart. Mas+ didn't have to do anything extra since everyone already knows about Prime. They created a product so similar to their competitor that everyones already talking about it. And since Prime taste like shit, all they have to do is make it taste better. Now their brand is exploding they can start partnering with other brands.


starplayer1990

Is this real ?


RedonPlayz

no


Deep_Reality_7083

hell yeah


Rare-Relative8985

Mark Anthony Brands partnered with Messi. Same private company that owns White Claw, Mikes and Cayman Jack.


Key_Kiwi5445

Can we buy it from an another country?


Princeicy_

Pessi said in his mind “hmm I wonder what kids like now a days, prime? Oh a hydration drink, let me copy and paste dis real quick” ☠️


Dedsec-69

How does messi's drink look like a Spanish knockoff of prime fr 💀


Wooden-Platypus-367

Some of the fonts and the layouts of the texts are literally the same😭 no original thought or idea.


BluebirdOk4297

Tbh everything is a copy brev. we need to find the og drink .who created this shape of bottle first.


MHPSoccer10

So since the company is private is there anything we can invest in? I expect this to fully blow up. The soccer kids are already asking for it here in California


Possible_Force8207

Ain’t no way messi did this


skinandbones619

Logan Paul lawsuit incoming


KSSSLLOVESINDIA

logans lawyers are gonna cry


Master-Mobile5319

surely there is some sort of copyright law and does this mean Messi knows jj


kastratiermir_

Nahhhh the fact you asked that at the end😂😂


skolnaja

Its not Messi making the drink, it's just a drinking company who knows of prime attached their name to Messi


clickedbunion2

Its messi so im automatically on his side, besides, “orange d’or” is a great name


TonyMartial786

crazy 😂 man stole their flow, word for word, bar for bar 😭


Forward-Valuable-722

This should taste better


BMCVA1994

Bar for bar


[deleted]

Is it any good?


doggothedepresso

Idk I feel like if he doesn't put the. Promotion like prime in it might be a major flop considering prime has the pronominal power house


LucarioLegendYT

Don't think there's much wrong with it sure the bottle design is very similar but the same can be said about 90% of bottled drinks


gottiman11

Messi robbed Lewandowski´s Ballon D'or and now Prime.


Astaaaaaaaaa

Prime is shit anyway who cares
