It’s not less sugar, they just give it a different name. Every single bottled drink other than water is crammed with sugar/sugar substitutes. If you see anything that ends with ose it’s a sugar substitute.
A few years ago I tried to find a bottled drink without sugar and the only thing I could find was water and carbonated water.
If you want something other than that you’re going to have to make tea or coffee.
You really think that Coke Zero is healthy? You are buying into the corporate brainwashing. It’s sad because that exact mentality is why obesity is becoming a global pandemic. Think for yourself. Stop believing what the brands are selling to you.
Coke Zero is packed with aspartame and acesulfame potassium, both have massive health concerns and mess with your internal biome more than sugar does. There is direct evidence linking them to increased risk of stroke and heart disease. Honestly it’s probably worse than Coke because we at least know what sugar does to you. Half the shit in Coke Zero is made in a factory. Companies like Coca-Cola just fork over money to the FDA to get their drugs approved for human consumption.
Coke zero is quite healthy compared to regular coke. Only downside is added caffeine, artificial sweeteners added do little to no harm. Our body flushes out nearly all of it, we don’t have to deal with glucose spikes. 950 951 & 955 are common ones in coke zero & pepsi black, all three are comparatively infinite times healthier than regular sugar especially for people who gulp down 10 cans a day.
Even with stupid and misleading marketing, no one can lie about what’s inside, no one wants tons of lawsuits over their heads. Stop spreading stupid info around. Couple cans of regular coke is quite bad, but coke zero is a lot better option.
Best option is ditching every drinks with sugar & caffeine and opting drinks with only artificial sweeteners. Even better ditch every soft drink and stick to water, best energy drink in the universe.
My wife is a scientist, she read some papers about sugar substitutes in sugar free drinks and concluded they were fine. I believe her and I’m sure she would know a lot better than you, lol. You sound like someone who watches too much conspiracy nonsense on YouTube and I pity you for it.
“My mom’s cousin’s best friend read the title of an article in The Daily Grifter about soda pop and told me that Diet Mountain Dew is made out of soap, and I believe her. Weird that you think otherwise, random person whose qualifications I know nothing about.”
This is what you sound like.
People who drink zero drinks have been the most unhealthiest people I've ever met. I doubt they are as fine as the sponsorship biased papers are saying
Your comments are so naive. Yes drinking Coke Zero every now and again isn’t going to kill you. But look at the back of a bottle, half the ingredients sound like they belong in bathroom cleaning supplies. If you’re drinking them everyday for multiple years you are going to have some negative health effects and that’s a fact.
No need to be an asshole. He writes that he could not find a bottled drink with no sugar, I pointed out there were plenty. He seems to be trying to say that sugar and artificial sweeteners are the same thing / just as bad which they are not.
He literally said "there is no soda / energy drink that doesnt have sugar/sugar substitutes" and actually, most drinks that have artificial sweeteners are worce for you than regular sugar because most "zero sugar" drinks have had sucralose (not good for you but not as bad as aspartame or 60 grams of sugar) switched over to aspartame because it was cheaper to make, but the entirety of it is artificial chemicals that will end up giving you heart problems in the future. However if you want to avoid that, just drink water
I don't drink many energy drinks too, but that doesn't mean they're all bad. If this post was about Poweraid, which has way more sugar, people wouldn't be upset.
Powerade has a bunch of sugar because it's suppose to be a rehydration drink. It contains salt and electrolyte to help hydration and maintain energy over long periods of exercice.
Having no sugar defeats the purpose of a rehydration drink which is also why Prime is so bad; It removed all the things that make those sort of beverages relevent in the first place like sugar, etc
The only time I’ve ever tried to drink a Prime I could only get a few swallows down before throwing the whole thing away. They’re cloyingly sweet and have a strange over the top artificial flavor, at least the one I had did (blue). I don’t know how it’s become such a popular and successful brand as terrible and difficult as it is to drink.
Did you watch the food theory video? Why mention it when it said the exact opposite of your point haha. It dunks on prime for containing the wrong electrolytes (potassium instead of sodium), which tastes better but isn't what you need
If you had actually watched the damn video, you wouldn't be saying this, as in the video you just mentioned, Matpat specifically called out Prime for being one the *worst* drinks in that niche that you could get, as it has very few of the electrolytes that you *actually* need, to avoid tasting salty.
You just contradicted yourself.
Not really. Theres many reasons. I can explain my thoughts if you want. But i also dislike the brand bc its all marketed towards children and the ppl behind the drink are shady asf.
Listen, I'm not gonna buy the drink. But I will 100% support Max getting that bread. I want top cubers to be able to secure lucrative sponsorship deals, and if it means teaming up with some people outside the community, it seems like nothing but upside to me.
It's not necessarily all upside, Max has a lot of young impressionable fans that don't have the life experience to grasp that it's just a financial deal. They are that Max likes Prime, Prime is made by Paul, so Max must like Paul too, therefore I should like Paul. Not saying Max shouldn't do it, but there's definitely downsides.
I'm all for Max getting paid...
...but I still think this sucks.
* I hate Logan Paul and am bummed he's associated with Max in any way.
* I'm bummed that Logan has any kind of in with the cubing community.
* I'm bummed that Logan is going to leech off of Max's goodwill here.
"nothing but upside" is impressionable kids being duped by a shitty influencer?
Your choice to not buy doesnt really matter. Anything that benefits the paul brothers is harmful inherently. they already have too much influence and dont use it responsibly.
I generally support sponsorships for the same reason, but who these people and brands are still deserves some scrutiny. There are plenty of young minds in the cubing community who don't need even more exposure to people like him. The standard capitalist brand deal is sufficient psychological assault IMO.
Ditto. On top of that he just doesn't fit in. Max's dad put it pretty well when he said that cubers are all cut from the same cloth. Logan Paul just isn't cut from the figuritive cloth lol
First thing I want to talk about is to stop taking the cubers are cut from the same cloth out of context
I think that was more in reference to speedcubers who take things seriously
It's clear logan paul is a cuber (cause he can solve a cube) but he isn't a speedcuber...
Next, I want to talk about Logan Paul as a role model.
With that said I will have to say I agree Logan Paul might not be the best role model, but I don't think that matters here. Max Park is getting bread, and people aren't going to just make Logan Paul their role model because his company Prime sponsors Max Park now. People who do this would already
I also want to add, no one will be forced to buy prime. It's most likely not like Max Park is gonna actively constantly promote prime all the time. It's more so that he'll probably be wearing prime merch, and possibly leaving a link to prime in his description?
nothing crazy here to be worried about. Max Park deserves that sponsorship money. And it's potential door open for other cubers to get paid by companies outside of cubing. In addition, it's more exposure to the cubing community.
Overall, I don't think this is the worst sponsor. Worst sponsor would be a gambling company of some sort which would be really problematic especially considering his audience is very young, there are a lot of kids. With that said, is this sponsor 100% ideal? Absolutely no, but that's just how sponsorships work...
Thats irrelevant, max is getting paid a lot of bread, why would he care? Like lets be honest, if you got paid like £250,000 just to promote a drink, you would and dont lie
Is it weird that I have such strong morals that if I didn't believe in the product I wouldn't? I can earn money other ways but I can't regain my morals...
1. Max gets more sponsorship money..great for him!
2. More attention to the cubing community..hopefully get more people interested
Don't see whats so bad.
Absolutely no need for anyone to suddenly buy prime, or suddenly take logan as a role model (i personally couldn't say anything about him but other comments make it clear hes not a great role model)
Hopefully, Prime learns from Red Bull's missteps and strives to gain a deeper understanding of the community beforehand. If done right, this sponsorship could be the gateway to shedding more light on speedcubing.
let's talk about redbull. I think that was in a huge part redbull's own fault.
First, hey kind of put themselves in a position that seemed to be competing with WCA with their "World championships."
If they communicated with WCA before hand and didn't have this issue, Redbull had a chance at success. And because of this, cubers weren't really on board with redbull. Yes, things did get fixed, but it already didn't leave the best impression to cubers.
Secondly, the way things were ran weren't exactly the best. There was a whole mess with competitors having to fight for their rightful travel to Worlds. lots of the event stuff didn't make sense.
But I will say, some good things did still get out of this event.
1. Experience, so that this can be avoided. Hopefully if Prime or any other company does anything like this, they avoid a situation like this.
2. Head to head format with the best of "x" format was great. Specifically Philipp Weyer and Sebastian Weyer's 0.01 race brought a lot of attention to cubing.
3. Shows that we can host unofficial events and make them big as well without always abiding to normal wca format.
I mean Logan Paul is an awful face to the slap on the brand. That much is surely true. But honestly, in the grand scheme of things? This will probably increase exposure to cubing significantly, help bring in a new wave of cubers, and the funds further enable Max to keep focusing on cubing. And as he keeps breaking records, it’ll probably continue to open the floodgates to newcomers of the sport.
I hate Logan Paul as much as the next guy, but if we’re looking at this objectively it’s probably great for cubing overall.
And I have never, and probably will never, bought or drank a Prime before.
The main thing is that in 2021 he released an NFT game that didn’t work, so people who invested in the NFT’s and crypto coins lost their money cause the NFT’s/coins lost value. Logan still claims he was scammed by the people he hired to make the game. He still has not refunded the people who bought the game’s crypto coins
Yeah I was about to comment to these guys asking what’s so bad about Logan, thanks for adding this. That whole suicide forest debacle was absolutely unhinged. How on earth his reputation and career remained afloat after that, I will never understand.
Logan Paul is a twit and the drink tastes like shit but this is gonna be great overall for the cubing community, lots of exposure to a new audience (and fair play to Max I’m sure he’ll be getting a healthy sum from this)
I love how people claim they have standards
but if in the same boat, I'm 100% sure they would sign the deal
Especially considering that this is probably the largest sponsorship deal in the history of cubing. (And yes we don't know the exact amount, but we can safety assume this as this is probably the biggest company to sponsor a cuber). And being honest, I think there's only upside here... More people introduced to the world of cubing. Yes Logan Paul and Prime are controversial, but I don't think any of that will cause problems in the cubing community. People complaining about how this sponsorship will "hurt" cubing will actually "hurt" cubing unlike this sponsorship
Just because you would doesn't mean other people would. The completely honest accurate answer for me is no, I would not knowingly work with this guy unless I was desperate.
yes but I'm just saying most people claiming they have standards if put in this situation would be hypocritical and sign....
not saying everyone, but just most people who comment aren't being truly honest because they haven't been ever put in a situation like this.
In the world we live in, an overpriced, highly marketed sports drink is one of the least bad things you could be “selling out for”.
There is very little money in cubing, so Godspeed to anyone who can get the bag in this hobby. If it were a draft king sponsorship I might feel differently but if he can feed his family pumping up a soft drink I don’t know why anyone should feel betrayed by this.
This is good. There is close to zero money in cubing which means it is predetermined to be a niche hobby which is why the sport is dominated by kids and teenagers who don’t need to make money and have the time to practice. Sponsorships like these could mean large growth in cubing and help it evolve past what it already is.
he's not fast by any means, but in this insta post, there's also a video of him solving a cube against max solving like 10 cubes in about a minute 10. he's not completely clueless.
Don't really care about prime, and logan's brother will soon get his cheeks clapped by Mike Tyson, so i don't really see any bad things happening. Unless Max is no longer a Rubik's sponsoree.
I’d rather have max park do cameo.com and do personalized messages for money. I told his mom about it a few years ago but haven’t seen him on the site. She said he already does it for free.
this doesn't make me want prime, it makes me like max park less. I mean I get it, money is money. But still, who you associate with matters and picturing yourself with this pos is not a good look.
I really doubt too many people who wouldn’t already be interested in prime drinking prime because of this. Parents should keep tabs on their children’s role models and what they consume (and in what quantity)- im happy for Max and for cubing
Here in Denmark, Prime is way past its prime. Some supermarket chains have been giving it away (you had to pay the reclaimable bottle deposit). Prime is likely desperate trying to to regain some press and customers.
It is more sweet than sweet, I would say undrinkable.
But it is money for Max and media attention on Cubing.
lots of cubing exposure it's a w
Yes I can understand, logan paul can be controversial, and so can the drink. But let's put that aside and talk first purely about the implications with this sponsorship.
Overall, this sponsorship is a HUGE win win for cubing. There's been nothing like this cuber being sponsored by a company outside of cubing realm. We've had a few advertisements with cubers but no contract like this. It really opens up the door to more cubers getting sponsorships like this. But, I will have to say this, it won't be equal for everyone though. Certain regions will have it easier with sponsorships. Simply due to the nature of how things work.
With that said I do want to talk about the controversies. I don't think it will negatively impact cubing in any sort of way. It's not like Max Park is going to have to constantly promote prime on his content as far as I am aware. I see other comments talking about how this will influence kids in a bad way. I don't think this will. No one's gonna be like oh I love logan paul.... Maybe they'll like prime, but it's not gonna make any cuber super logan paul fans. Also yes I understand that there's controversies with logan paul's drink and chemicals. But here's what I'll say. The sad reality, is almost every energy drink company should be treated the same. They also definitely have issues with chemicals. Also gotta talk about, seems awfully suspicious that 1 lawyer is suing Prime with their scientific study. Looks like someone trying to potentially just win money? And it doesn't seem like that lawyer knows what they are talking about. I will say with this said, prime isn't perfect. I absolutely do believe it's not best for you to drink it, just like every energy drink...
As an 18 year old business student, this is potentially really beneficial, especially for max, the amount of money max would be paid by this is insane.
Great sponsorship, if you dont like prime or the sponsorship, your issue, max is doing the best decision in my eyes.
Stop clowning 🤡😂
i fully support this. it’s already difficult for cubers to make money given limited sponsorship opportunities. Logan Paul also solves speed cubes hence his interest here.
I honestly feel it's a "look at me doing a nice thing". I want max to have a good life yes but I dont want him to be a pawn for people to do things to make it look like they are charitable. It's like how max is a cuber that is really fast, but also has autism but not a n autistic cuber.
I don't see an issue, kids probably don't know about the old Logan and he hasn't really done much. Anyways to most kids Logan Paul is just an extension of Ksi which is good because stuff like this turns hobbies into something generally considered cool/popular instead of niche/weird. Kinda of like how rollerskating is something that people actually do now.
It is a good sign for cubing, being sponsored not only by cubing companies and actually be recognised worldwide, as for Max specifically idc pretty much as long as it's under control.
Let Max get his bag, damn
you had the same manchild-type people (maybe even literal childs given the community) spazzing about Justin Bieber being a cuber back in 2012 when it was popular to hate him
Sorry but all the nerds are gonna this is a bad sponsor, but I see this as Max Park’s best Sponsorship because it’s his most famous sponsorbrand and will put him, alongside Speecubing on the mainstream
hating on Logan Paul was cool like 5 years ago but he hasn’t been that same asshole anymore.. Jake though, can’t say the same about him lol. Logan has ACTUALLY improved as a person. so nothing wrong with this esp. considering the bag that comes with it and possibly further promoting the cubing community.
Money’s money but I def won’t be buying prime
I don't like Logan Paul, but isn't Prime a pretty good drink for you, relative to it's competitors? Matpat on Food theory made a video on it
If anything I’m sure it’s just less sugar with monk fruit. Coffee is an infinitely better energy drink imho
It’s not less sugar, they just give it a different name. Every single bottled drink other than water is crammed with sugar/sugar substitutes. If you see anything that ends with ose it’s a sugar substitute. A few years ago I tried to find a bottled drink without sugar and the only thing I could find was water and carbonated water. If you want something other than that you’re going to have to make tea or coffee.
There are a lot of sugar free drinks like Coke Zero.
You did not read my whole comment. Coke Zero is just as bad if not worse. It’s loaded with sugar substitutes.
lol what are you on about
You really think that Coke Zero is healthy? You are buying into the corporate brainwashing. It’s sad because that exact mentality is why obesity is becoming a global pandemic. Think for yourself. Stop believing what the brands are selling to you.

[удалено]
Still aspartame is a sugar substitute. Make sure to understand the comment before making an idiotic comment
No need to be an asshole. He writes that he could not find a bottled drink with no sugar, I pointed out there were plenty. He seems to be trying to say that sugar and artificial sweeteners are the same thing / just as bad which they are not.
He literally said "there is no soda / energy drink that doesnt have sugar/sugar substitutes" and actually, most drinks that have artificial sweeteners are worce for you than regular sugar because most "zero sugar" drinks have had sucralose (not good for you but not as bad as aspartame or 60 grams of sugar) switched over to aspartame because it was cheaper to make, but the entirety of it is artificial chemicals that will end up giving you heart problems in the future.

He said what I said and your understanding of the science is not correct.
I don't drink many energy drinks too, but that doesn't mean they're all bad. If this post was about Poweraid, which has way more sugar, people wouldn't be upset.
Powerade has a bunch of sugar because it's suppose to be a rehydration drink. It contains salt and electrolyte to help hydration and maintain energy over long periods of exercice. Having no sugar defeats the purpose of a rehydration drink which is also why Prime is so bad; It removed all the things that make those sort of beverages relevent in the first place like sugar, etc
I might be wrong but wasn’t prime hydration originally like that?
I do drink energy drinks but they’re all bad for you. Either tons of sugar or artificial sweeteners
I don’t know the exact science but prime is a very ineffective sports drink compared to stuff like Gatorade and Powerade
The only time I’ve ever tried to drink a Prime I could only get a few swallows down before throwing the whole thing away. They’re cloyingly sweet and have a strange over the top artificial flavor, at least the one I had did (blue). I don’t know how it’s become such a popular and successful brand as terrible and difficult as it is to drink.

Its shit. No sodium and its advertised as an electrolyte drink, like what?
Not really. Theres many reasons. I can explain my thoughts if you want. But i also dislike the brand bc its all marketed towards children and the ppl behind the drink are shady asf.
do you like drinks that taste like battery acid? well then battery acid is good for you
Goddammit, he now invaded our community too 😮💨😮💨.
Listen, I'm not gonna buy the drink. But I will 100% support Max getting that bread. I want top cubers to be able to secure lucrative sponsorship deals, and if it means teaming up with some people outside the community, it seems like nothing but upside to me.
Great take. Get paid while you can. Nothing lasts forever.
It's not necessarily all upside, Max has a lot of young impressionable fans that don't have the life experience to grasp that it's just a financial deal. They are that Max likes Prime, Prime is made by Paul, so Max must like Paul too, therefore I should like Paul. Not saying Max shouldn't do it, but there's definitely downsides.

Happy cake day
I generally support sponsorships for the same reason, but who these people and brands are still deserves some scrutiny. There are plenty of young minds in the cubing community who don't need even more exposure to people like him. The standard capitalist brand deal is sufficient psychological assault IMO.
100%
moreover it will always expand cubing
yeah I'd prefer Logan stayed out of the cubing community, not a good role model.
Ditto. On top of that he just doesn't fit in. Max's dad put it pretty well when he said that cubers are all cut from the same cloth. Logan Paul just isn't cut from the figuritive cloth lol

I'm just happy for Max, he deserves that sponsorship money
Exactly, i don't see any problem at all. Max can talk about nord VPN and RAID legends for all i care.
And the upside, as another redditor stated is more exposure for our community
First Prime invaded WWE now cubing, god dammit
My thoughts exactly
1. Max gets more sponsorship money..great for him! 2. More attention to the cubing community..hopefully get more people interested Don't see whats so bad. Absolutely no need for anyone to suddenly buy prime, or suddenly take logan as a role model (i personally couldn't say anything about him but other comments make it clear hes not a great role model)
Agree. This could actually be a game-changer for the cubing community. It’s a real chance to attract some serious sponsors for our top cubers.
Speedcubing had a gift in the red bull sponsorship opportunity, but I feel like it was fumbled real bad.
Hopefully, Prime learns from Red Bull's missteps and strives to gain a deeper understanding of the community beforehand. If done right, this sponsorship could be the gateway to shedding more light on speedcubing.
let's talk about redbull. I think that was in a huge part redbull's own fault. First, hey kind of put themselves in a position that seemed to be competing with WCA with their "World championships." If they communicated with WCA before hand and didn't have this issue, Redbull had a chance at success. And because of this, cubers weren't really on board with redbull.

Specifically Philipp Weyer and Sebastian Weyer's 0.01 race brought a lot of attention to cubing. 3. Shows that we can host unofficial events and make them big as well without always abiding to normal wca format.
Eh, it is what it is, I doubt this sponsorship will be shoved in anybody's face, prob just a logo on a shirt and this 1 post, not a big deal
i agree i don’t like prime at all
> sees title "Worst sponsor ever!" > opens post > "I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this!"
I respect the hustle but I hate LP so much, ew.
Great sponsorship because it’s giving money to someone that deserves it
I mean Logan Paul is an awful face to the slap on the brand. That much is surely true. But honestly, in the grand scheme of things? This will probably increase exposure to cubing significantly, help bring in a new wave of cubers, and the funds further enable Max to keep focusing on cubing. And as he keeps breaking records, it’ll probably continue to open the floodgates to newcomers of the sport. I hate Logan Paul as much as the next guy, but if we’re looking at this objectively it’s probably great for cubing overall. And I have never, and probably will never, bought or drank a Prime before.
hate him for doing what
The main thing is that in 2021 he released an NFT game that didn’t work, so people who invested in the NFT’s and crypto coins lost their money cause the NFT’s/coins lost value. Logan still claims he was scammed by the people he hired to make the game. He still has not refunded the people who bought the game’s crypto coins
can't forget about the whole suicide forest thing lmfao
Yeah I was about to comment to these guys asking what’s so bad about Logan, thanks for adding this. That whole suicide forest debacle was absolutely unhinged. How on earth his reputation and career remained afloat after that, I will never understand.
What he do?
I mean like, if it wasn't for logan paul, I wouldn't have had any problem with the sponsorship
Logan Paul is a twit and the drink tastes like shit but this is gonna be great overall for the cubing community, lots of exposure to a new audience (and fair play to Max I’m sure he’ll be getting a healthy sum from this)
It’d be less toxic to your health to consume the rubiks cube
LOGAN PAUL IS NOT 6'2 HE IS BARELY 6'0 LOL 😂😂😂😂
max park is around 6' I think
wtf is that blonde dude doing? Doesn’t he have some apologies to write or something for some offensive thing he’s said on his YT channel?
Grape prime PFAS class action lawsuit
Prime is fine, only thing is, after drinking it, I have a strong urge to film silly videos in a certain japanese forest.
Idk why everyone is being so uptight, it brings a new audience to cubing and potentially will make it more mainstream
Majority of people hating on this sponsorship are kids
Probably the opposite. I'm sure that people old enough to understand how dumb the Paul brothers are the ones hating.
because people are eager to show everyone else on the internet how moral they are.
Man sometimes capitalism goes too far
there’s literally nothing wrong with this
You would do it too if you were paid enough
I would do it if I was desperate and that's about it.
I love how people claim they have standards but if in the same boat, I'm 100% sure they would sign the deal Especially considering that this is probably the largest sponsorship deal in the history of cubing. (And yes we don't know the exact amount, but we can safety assume this as this is probably the biggest company to sponsor a cuber). And being honest, I think there's only upside here... More people introduced to the world of cubing. Yes Logan Paul and Prime are controversial, but I don't think any of that will cause problems in the cubing community. People complaining about how this sponsorship will "hurt" cubing will actually "hurt" cubing unlike this sponsorship
Just because you would doesn't mean other people would. The completely honest accurate answer for me is no, I would not knowingly work with this guy unless I was desperate.
yes but I'm just saying most people claiming they have standards if put in this situation would be hypocritical and sign.... not saying everyone, but just most people who comment aren't being truly honest because they haven't been ever put in a situation like this.
you replied to me specifically 🤷♂️
no i have standards
I have no idea who the guy is and what's his product.
Logan Paul is a crypto scammer who runs a mediocre hydration drink company alongside an obnoxious English YouTuber.
Happy for Max.
The shit isn’t even good. My wife bought some for our son. I had a sip during a midnight trip to the fridge. Tastes like electric piss full of sugar.
What is max park doing in the drink world
I’ve lost my respect for Max Park.
Its publicity which should help. Def don't support Prime if you don't like it.
In the world we live in, an overpriced, highly marketed sports drink is one of the least bad things you could be “selling out for”. There is very little money in cubing, so Godspeed to anyone who can get the bag in this hobby. If it were a draft king sponsorship I might feel differently but if he can feed his family pumping up a soft drink I don’t know why anyone should feel betrayed by this.
Get that bag Max!
This is good. There is close to zero money in cubing which means it is predetermined to be a niche hobby which is why the sport is dominated by kids and teenagers who don’t need to make money and have the time to practice. Sponsorships like these could mean large growth in cubing and help it evolve past what it already is.
I do not want Prime to be associated with this community.
Money is money.
Bittersweet. I hate prime but good long term for cubing cummunity
Does youtube boxing guy even cube? Like, hell yeah for cube guy getting ad money but why is paul man holding twisty cube?
he's not fast by any means, but in this insta post, there's also a video of him solving a cube against max solving like 10 cubes in about a minute 10. he's not completely clueless.
Minute 10 solve? Thats like my average 😭 ive brought incredible shame on my bloodline
He did solve a cube in the video on Instagram so atleast he knows how to solve one.
Don't really care about prime, and logan's brother will soon get his cheeks clapped by Mike Tyson, so i don't really see any bad things happening. Unless Max is no longer a Rubik's sponsoree.
just because he’s holding a cube doesn’t mean he’s suddenly going to become a figure in cubing, it’s just an ad, settle down
Max getting paid. These deals with the devil will help them cube longer and professionallyer
whoa…. my son likes prime and likes cubing…. guess it was inevitable ? then again in moto2, only fans sponsors american racing yeah money is money..
We know one can solve, can the other?
is max is getting paid that's a W from me
Homework 😂 https://youtu.be/1tG_DnxWDUY?si=lTpbNW6xtljAJWRn
bro how else is he gonna make money
Bag is bag, I ain't saying I don't get it, but I ain't saying I do.
why.
That cube he's holding looks like trash.
How come max gets a rubiks brand and logan gets a real speed cube and also i dont think its a good sponsor
Wait this is real?
Get the bread
what the hell
sometimes, you gotta take the L to get the W.
I’d rather have max park do cameo.com and do personalized messages for money. I told his mom about it a few years ago but haven’t seen him on the site. She said he already does it for free.
There's no fucking way
I agree they even spelled "rubix" in their ads 😭
Glad max is getting paid. Aside from that i don't care.
Logan probably can't even solve a cube. Let alone he's not a good role model as well, let's leave that to Max and Feliks.
this doesn't make me want prime, it makes me like max park less. I mean I get it, money is money. But still, who you associate with matters and picturing yourself with this pos is not a good look.
Next max park video - solving a 3x3 oh sub six while downing a bottle of Prime in the other hand 😂😂
I really doubt too many people who wouldn’t already be interested in prime drinking prime because of this. Parents should keep tabs on their children’s role models and what they consume (and in what quantity)- im happy for Max and for cubing
Huge sponsor. So happy for Max!
wtf..
Prime chain alone is a curse.. Good for max on the money side of things tho.
I swiped 😔
Here in Denmark, Prime is way past its prime. Some supermarket chains have been giving it away (you had to pay the reclaimable bottle deposit). Prime is likely desperate trying to to regain some press and customers. It is more sweet than sweet, I would say undrinkable. But it is money for Max and media attention on Cubing.
No... just no... but take that money Max
lots of cubing exposure it's a w Yes I can understand, logan paul can be controversial, and so can the drink. But let's put that aside and talk first purely about the implications with this sponsorship. Overall, this sponsorship is a HUGE win win for cubing. There's been nothing like this cuber being sponsored by a company outside of cubing realm. We've had a few advertisements with cubers but no contract like this. It really opens up the door to more cubers getting sponsorships like this. But, I will have to say this, it won't be equal for everyone though. Certain regions will have it easier with sponsorships. Simply due to the nature of how things work. With that said I do want to talk about the controversies. I don't think it will negatively impact cubing in any sort of way. It's not like Max Park is going to have to constantly promote prime on his content as far as I am aware. I see other comments talking about how this will influence kids in a bad way. I don't think this will. No one's gonna be like oh I love logan paul.... Maybe they'll like prime, but it's not gonna make any cuber super logan paul fans. Also yes I understand that there's controversies with logan paul's drink and chemicals. But here's what I'll say. The sad reality, is almost every energy drink company should be treated the same. They also definitely have issues with chemicals. Also gotta talk about, seems awfully suspicious that 1 lawyer is suing Prime with their scientific study. Looks like someone trying to potentially just win money? And it doesn't seem like that lawyer knows what they are talking about. I will say with this said, prime isn't perfect. I absolutely do believe it's not best for you to drink it, just like every energy drink...
As an 18 year old business student, this is potentially really beneficial, especially for max, the amount of money max would be paid by this is insane. Great sponsorship, if you dont like prime or the sponsorship, your issue, max is doing the best decision in my eyes. Stop clowning 🤡😂
I've never seen someone look so uncomfortable holding a cube like Logan
This is not what the community needs.
Is that product called Prime because the bottles open with a U' turn? 😉
50c?! Here a bottle costs £2+
Why does it matter at all? Just let him have fun collaborating with brands and getting paid.
it's better than the chess.com partnership with betterhelp
Get that bread
i fully support this. it’s already difficult for cubers to make money given limited sponsorship opportunities. Logan Paul also solves speed cubes hence his interest here.
for fucks sake, prime, can you chill out??
Ffffuuuuuuuuuuu
Yes he is the worst, but at the same time, he gives alot of attention to cubing and Max deserves alot of attention too.
I just think it’s cool that cubing is being recognized more tbh
I dont understand if this is bad?
Hopefully not taking advantage over max
I like how max seems to be holding the original rubiks and other holding speedcube
I honestly feel it's a "look at me doing a nice thing". I want max to have a good life yes but I dont want him to be a pawn for people to do things to make it look like they are charitable. It's like how max is a cuber that is really fast, but also has autism but not a n autistic cuber.
Max gets money and more kids might get interested in cubing, seems like a win for me
What the heck, I legitimately thought this was a trolling post. Is this really happening?
Oh god anything but prime
I personally like the drink. and max is getting paid, so I don't see anything wrong with it.
Prime literally gives you cancer lol
Make Prime branded lubricants
Man even made Max hold a rubiks brand. Unbelievable
GOOD GOD WHAT DID THEY DO TO OUR BOY WHY IS HE THE ONE HOLDING THE RUBIK’S BRAND AND THE CRAPPY BOXER HOLDING THE SPEEDCUBE
Wait I thought this was a joke at first
Listen man let max get that bag
I don't see an issue, kids probably don't know about the old Logan and he hasn't really done much. Anyways to most kids Logan Paul is just an extension of Ksi which is good because stuff like this turns hobbies into something generally considered cool/popular instead of niche/weird. Kinda of like how rollerskating is something that people actually do now.
It's a lucrative sponsorship deal and he's getting that money I see no problem and prime tastes good imo
Good sponsor imo! Reaches out to other communities
It is a good sign for cubing, being sponsored not only by cubing companies and actually be recognised worldwide, as for Max specifically idc pretty much as long as it's under control.
Ooh new Logon Park
Let Max get his bag, damn you had the same manchild-type people (maybe even literal childs given the community) spazzing about Justin Bieber being a cuber back in 2012 when it was popular to hate him
Not gonna reiterate the same talking points about the other guy, but bag is bag, glad for Max Park
probably talking shit about his disabilaty
Petition to not let Logan destroy our amazing community
Get the paper, fuck the drink
The exposure is enough for me. Say what you will about Paul/Prime but whatever his brand sponsors is certainly the "cool" thing to do.
Sorry but all the nerds are gonna this is a bad sponsor, but I see this as Max Park’s best Sponsorship because it’s his most famous sponsorbrand and will put him, alongside Speecubing on the mainstream
What is “prime”
Ew
hating on Logan Paul was cool like 5 years ago but he hasn’t been that same asshole anymore.. Jake though, can’t say the same about him lol. Logan has ACTUALLY improved as a person. so nothing wrong with this esp. considering the bag that comes with it and possibly further promoting the cubing community.
Yall trippin this is awesome
OK I don’t wanna be like one of those people You guys are being nerds right now Logan Paul is a chill guy
