Pictures and videos have shown the level of 'chaos' that the viral soft drink has caused in stores. The footage from a number of Aldi stores in the UK has shown frantic shoppers climbing over each other to get their hands on the drinks which are being sold with restrictions.
Aldi have become the second supermarket to sell the popular beverage and like Asda they have placed a limit of three bottles per person at their stores.
One video post by Twitter user Mark Hall shows people tussling and pushing each other to get a bottle at a store in Peterborough. The tweet which has been viewed 1M times was captioned "Absolute carnage in Aldi… people trying to get hold of prime".

According to WalesOnline Stores across the country saw long queues this morning. In Gravesend around 50 people began queuing outside their local Aldi while in Bradford Prime was sold out within ten minutes of opening.
Fans have been desperate to get their hands on the drink, created by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, for weeks after it became an internet sensation. Aldi has become the second supermarket in the UK to sell the popular drink and they were also forced to put a limit on sales, restricting customers to just three bottles after it became available in October.
The drink is available in three flavours - Blue Raspberry, Lemon and Lime and Ice Pop - and one 500ml bottle will set customers back £1.99. Shoppers will only be allowed to purchase one of each flavour.
