Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… “kd prime hydration” thing. I ain’t no fancy scientist or nothin’, but I can tell you what’s what, the way I see it.
So, this drink, it’s got this fella Kevin Durant’s name on it. You know, the basketball player? Tall fella, real good at throwin’ that ball. Anyways, they say it’s for… “muscle recovery.” Sounds fancy, right? Muscle recovery. Like your muscles get tired and this drink fixes ’em up right quick. I guess if you’re runnin’ around like them basketball fellas do, you get tired. Me? I get tired just walkin’ to the mailbox some days.
They got all sorts of flavors, too. Cherry somethin’ or other. “Cherry Freeze,” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d get at the ice cream shop. But this ain’t no ice cream, mind you. It’s a drink. They say it’s got “electrolytes” and “vitamins” in it. Lord knows what all them words mean. Back in my day, we just drank water when we were thirsty. Or maybe some lemonade if it was a hot day. Didn’t need no fancy drinks with long names.
- They say it keeps you “hydrated”. Well, I reckon water does that too, and it don’t cost near as much.
- And “energized”? Shoot, a good night’s sleep and a cup of coffee get me energized just fine.
Now, I heard tell this drink is made by some fellas named Logan Paul and KSI. Don’t know ’em from Adam. But they seem to be makin’ a pretty penny off this stuff. Sellin’ it on somethin’ called “Amazon.” Sounds like a jungle, but I guess it’s where you buy things now. They even got “free shippin’”. Well, ain’t that somethin’. Back in my day, you went to the store and you bought what you needed. No shippin’ nothin’. Just carried it home yourself.
This drink, it’s got somethin’ called “BCAA Blend” in it. Sounds like a bunch of letters mashed together to me. They say it helps your muscles. I reckon if you eat your vegetables and get some good protein, that’ll help your muscles too. My grandma always said, “Eat your greens, child, they’ll make you strong.” She lived to be 98, so I guess she knew a thing or two. She never had no fancy drinks, that’s for sure.
They say it’s a “sports drink”. Well, I guess if you’re playin’ sports, you need somethin’ to keep you goin’. But I tell you what, workin’ on the farm is harder than any sport I ever seen. And we just drank water. Sometimes we’d have a little bit of that “Kool-Aid” if we were lucky, but mostly just plain water. Kept us goin’ just fine.
Prime Hydration, they call it. Sounds important. Like it’s the best drink there is. But I bet you it ain’t no better than good ol’ water. They say it’s made with water, so there you go. Water’s good enough for me, always has been. They say it’s got some other stuff in it too, but I ain’t so sure about all that. Seems like a lot of fuss for a drink, if you ask me.
Now, some folks in England, they get this drink too. They ship it over there all the way from America, or used to. Now they make it over there too, I hear. Funny thing is, they got water over there too, I reckon. Maybe it just tastes better with a fancy name and a basketball player’s face on it.
So, does this drink really work? Does it really hydrate you and make your muscles feel better? I don’t know. Like I said, I ain’t no scientist. But I do know that water is good for you. And eating right is good for you. And gettin’ enough rest is good for you. Maybe this drink is good for you too, I don’t know. But it sure costs a whole lot more than water. And that’s just the plain truth of it.
If you got money to burn, go ahead and try it. Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe it’ll make you feel like a basketball star. But if you ask me, a good glass of water is all you really need. And maybe a slice of apple pie, if you’re feeling fancy.
