“My child really wanted this drink, but the price for one bottle is RM89. Now there is a buy-one-get-one-free offer, so RM89 gets you two bottles,” she explained.

Upon purchasing via the machine, the second bottle got stuck in the vending machine, so they had to call an employee to retrieve it.

Still bought it for her son

The exorbitant prices of the energy drink and chocolates left the mother baffled, and she couldn’t understand why her son and other children were so keen on these branded products.

Despite her vocal complaints about the high prices, she still let her son buy the expensive drinks and chocolates, which astonished netizens.

Many netizens expressed their surprise, stating that the products were overpriced and not worth purchasing, questioning the mother’s decision to spend money on them.

Outdated drinks?

According to information, the energy drink PRIME is a brand founded by popular British-American influencers Logan Paul and KSI, which became a global sensation, especially among teenagers and children in Western countries.

The Feastables chocolates are a brand launched by famous American YouTuber Mr. Beast, which gained massive popularity among teens and kids worldwide following their release.

However, several netizens mentioned that this drink has already become outdated in the U.S., often being sold at clearance prices for as low as $1.80.

Some even noted that the same brand’s drink is available in Singapore for only 3.50 SGD (approximately RM12), leading to confusion about the exorbitant prices in Malaysian vending machines.
