Aldi shoppers infuriated by 'trick' being used to buy crates of £1.99 Prime drink

Yesterday, Aldi supermarkets across the country saw scenes of chaos as thousands of people rushed to stores before they opened in the hopes of getting their hands on a bottle of YouTube sensations KSI and Logan Paul's sell-out energy drink Prime. Adults and kids alike could be seen queueing outside Aldi stores from dawn to get a bottle of the viral £1.99 drink.

Given Prime's sheer popularity, Aldi had placed a limit of one of each flavour per shopper in all of its supermarkets to ensure fairness. But in the scramble, people were spotted taking drastic actions in a bid to try and bypass the rules.

On the Hemel Hempstead Community & Conversation Facebook group, shopper Michelle Fullam pointed out how she'd seen a man attempting to open several Prime drink bottles in her local Aldi. She says the shopper believed his 'trick' would mean staff would allow him to buy all of the bottles as they'd already been opened. He was wrong, and he ended up being banned from buying any at all.
