Last November, renowned American professional ice hockey center Auston Matthews signed a deal with Prime Hydration, a brand associated with popular influencer and entrepreneur Logan Paul.
The news generated a lot of attention among fans and enthusiasts. The news spread like wildfire on X (formerly Twitter), with one user posting a tweet exclaiming:
“Oh, Allston’s really launched Prime.”
The post quickly caught the attention of many NHL fans, triggering a series of reactions and comments.
One fan humorously said,
“If it doesn’t smell like his sweat, we don’t want it.”
Another fan made a pop culture analogy, saying:
“This is the hockey version of Space Jam’s Michael Jordan Juice!”
However, not all reactions are light-hearted. One thoughtful fan shared a nuanced perspective, saying:
“It’s actually kind of silly that the flavors don’t have names, but I don’t hate the overall quality haha. I’ve tried all the flavors and I love them, it tastes better than the competition and there’s no sugar. “
In contrast, one fan who may not regularly consume Prime Hydration expressed unexpected interest, saying:
“I don’t even drink premium beer, but if I see it, I’ll buy it.”
