PRIME is returning to the shelves at a major supermarket tomorrow.
The drink has already sparked chaotic scenes in stores as they were delivered to Sainsbury’s and Asda in previous months – selling out in a matter of minutes.

Aldi has revealed that it will be putting new Prime stock on its shelves in stores from tomorrow (April 18).
It comes after the supermarket posted on its Twitter page this afternoon and said: “Getting prepped and PRIMEd for a popular product that may be returning tomorrow…”
In response to the news, one person said: “This is going to be one stressful pre school run visit to my local store to try and get some.”
“Already got some today as my store had it out early,” said another shopper.
The viral hydration drink will be available to buy for just £1.99 in Aldi stores nationwide from April 18.
But as the drink will be a Specialbuy – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
The budget supermarket previously stocked the £1.99 viral drink – and saw massive queues to buy the popular product.
Given how popular the drink has been in the past, the supermarket may be out of stock by the time you get to the store.
It might be worth phoning ahead to check stock to avoid disappointment.
You can search for your local branch on the Aldi website.
The supermarket chain currently runs more than 990 stores in the UK.
Marketed as a sports drink, to “help you refresh, replenish, and refuel”, it contains B vitamins, electrolytes and coconut water.
There are seven flavours – Ice Pop, Meta Moon, Blue Raspberry, Lemon Lime, Tropical Punch, Orange and Grape – and I tried all of them.
Invented by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, it was released in June last year and still has thousands of kids — or their parents — scrambling to snap up any of its eight flavours.
Even celebrities are using their star power to try to shortcut the queues, with Wayne Rooney pestering KSI for a bottle for son Kit’s seventh birthday in January and Stacey Solomon getting in touch to say she couldn’t find any on the supermarket shelves.
This led to many sellers cashing in with sky-high prices.
One off-licence in Wakefield, West Yorks, was reportedly flogging the drink for £100 a bottle.
And on eBay, it is being sold there at price tags often well over its supermarket price tag of £2.
But the drink’s popularity has meant it’s been in short supply in some places.
One mum was left fuming after she rushed to Sainsbury’s to buy Prime only to find the shelves empty.
Shoppers in Maidstone, Kent, were also desperate to get their hands on a bottle and queued outside in the dark.
And some desperate parents have even travelled more than 500 miles just to get their hands on a bottle.
After all, the craze is growing, with one savvy punter selling a “rare” bottle for a whopping £1,000.
We tested the sell-out sports drink but some flavours are not as tasty as you’d expect.
