Have you been hearing about Prime for weeks on end? Perhaps your child is desperate to get their hands on some, and you just don’t understand why.
The drink has become a viral sensation that has prompted stores across the world to sell out.
In a recent Twitter thread, South African moms have opened up about being pressured by their kids into buying the ‘trendy’ and ‘pricey’ drinks. This comes after television personality Anele Mdoda asked: “Parent Twitter. You know this?” posting a picture of one of the drinks.
Comments came flooding in, with other moms complaining about the price of the drinks.
