Oh yeah, that Strawberry Lemonade is so good! That's my favorite flavor besides Meta Moon (white bottle). Now, one thing I could never get into was engergy drinks like Red Bull, Monster, or even those 5 hour energy shots. If I am in dire need for a pick me up and passing through a gas station, I'll take regular coffee anyday over that. Alas, I really don't like the taste of coffee, so I am resigned to drinking Monster to get me through the longer nights. The tropical punch flavours are pretty nice though, so I can handle that. I worked in a sports bar from 2005-2013 and Jägerbombs were the trendy thing for most of that time. Quite often we'd run out of Jägermeister, so other liquors were often substituted. Malibu proved quite popular as the coconut flavour complimented the Red Bull really well. No idea whether such things are in fashion now, though, as I've barely set foot inside a bar since I stopped working there. I've never come across Flaming Doctor Pepper before, to be honest. I suspect it's not something that crossed over to my neck of the woods.

Flaming Dr. Peppers were around in the early 2000s. If you recall, the Flaming Moe from "The Simpsons" was inspired by the Flaming Dr Pepper cocktail. It was mainly about the show, going out with your friends or a date and trying to impress them by dropping a lit shot of Amaretto into a glass of beer.
I am going to assume many establishments have discontinued this practice in lieu of fire safety concerns.

If I am in dire need for a pick me up and passing through a gas station, I'll take regular coffee anyday over that. I am in my 40s and I remember, I want to say about 10-15 years ago the trend in bars, especially college bars with energy drink mixed with alcohol. That was the most disgusting shit I ever heard of. This may have been before 4 Loko became popularized. I don't go to bars much anymore, so I am not sure if energy drink spiked with a shot is still a thing. What are the young crowds into nowadays? P.S. If you are old enough like me, you probably remember the Flaming Dr. Pepper. I know here in Canada, not long after mixing energy drinks with alcohol became a thing, they made it so bars were no longer able to serve it due to the conflicting natures of the beverages and the effects it could have on the body. However, they are allowed to serve you an energy drink and alcohol separately and if you happen to mix them yourself, there's nothing they can or will do. That said, I'm close to your age, so I have no idea if this is still a thing the kids do. On Dragon’s Den they had guys on selling Bomb energy drink, they somehow got a deal, based on the idea they were officially the “bomb” part of Jager Bomb…which is dubious at best. The drink was in Mac stores for a while at a decent price, haven’t seen it in a long time, I assume they went under.

I've never tried Prime. It's always been Gatorade & Powerade for me, personally. There's just something about Prime that sets it apart. Maybe it's the coconut water. Still, it's what I call Kool-Aid for adults.
I'm an adult and I'd rather just buy plain ol' Kool-Aid. It's only 39 cents a pack where I live, too.

With the grocery prices these days, I don't blame you.

That's weird... cause usually the bomb was red bull... the bomb part was you dropped it into the glass. Like the terribly named Irish Car Bomb.

When I was young, everyone everywhere used to drink Vodka-Red Bull, and not just one or two a night either. Caffeine doesn't have a strong effect on me, but yeah, others had to stop it because of a massively racing heart.

As for energy drinks, one time I tried Monster. It upset my stomach and was so sweet that I was worried my teeth were going to fall out, so I swore off energy drinks immediately after that.

I never actually got around to trying it though.

I personally see fame as something that makes most people entitled and not great human beings. Most of what we see in the public eye is controlled by PR people and not generally real, so don't really care about Logan one way or another, but if we are going to talk about Prime, all I can say is that drink royally sucks.
It somehow contains no sugar, yet is the sweetest thing I have ever had in my life. It's clearly designed for 12 year olds who eat a lot of candy.

Apparently QT Marshall is seeking to trademark the term Prime for use in wrestling promotion and media.
That could cause Logan and TKO some issues

That could cause Logan and TKO some issues he'll probably get it for wrestling but fail for advertising/everything due to the drink being what two years old at this point and amazon probably having "prime" locked down for their prime services.

Does WWE still hold a trademark for Prime Time Wrestling, if they ever did?

Does WWE still hold a trademark for Prime Time Wrestling, if they ever did? They did, but the USPTO canceled the trademark for “WWF Primetime Wrestling” on April 5, 1999 because WWE “did not file an acceptable declaration under Section 8.”
