From portion sizes to exclusive flavors, we wanted to find out all the differences between Prime in the U.S. and the U.K.

In the U.K., it comes in a 500-milliliter bottle.

You can either buy this as a single bottle or as part of a 12-pack.

In the U.S., our hydration also comes in one size, the 16.9-fluid-ounce bottle, or 500 milliliters.

You can get it in options of one bottle, an eight-pack, which you did not get, sorry, the 12-pack, and a 15-pack variety.

We also have Prime Energy, which in the U.K. comes in a 330-milliliter can.

Just like Prime Hydration, this either comes as a single can or as part of a 12-pack.

In the U.S., Prime Energy is a 12-fluid-ounce can, or 355 milliliters, and it comes in a single can, the 12-pack, and a 24-pack.

In the U.S., our biggest Prime Hydration single-item-by-volume is this, the 15-drink-variety pack.

Total fluid volume, 253.6 fluid ounces, or 7,500 milliliters.

Our largest size is a 12-pack of bottles, which adds up to six liters of Prime, but that's still 20% less than the biggest size in America.

This is 288 fluid ounces, or 8,520 milliliters.

Our biggest Prime Energy item is, again, the 12-pack, but remember that our cans are slightly smaller than America's.

That's 53.5% smaller than the biggest size in America.

Here are almost all of the exclusive Prime products you can get in the U.S., you can't get in the U.K.

And here are all the Prime drinks you'll find in the U.K., but not in the U.S.

There are currently seven flavors of Prime Hydration available in the U.K., however, all of them are available in the U.S. as well, so none of them are actually exclusive.

That said, there are some subtle differences in ingredients when it's compared to the U.S., and also, I've never had Prime before, so I wanna try all of these, give you my thoughts, and maybe rank them as well.

Here are currently three of the four Prime Hydration drinks you can get in the U.S., you can't get in the U.K.

So we got the Lemonade, we got Orange, we have this L.A. Dodgers flavor that might be just specific to Los Angeles, and there's a Grape flavor I couldn't get my hands on.

And here are all the other flavors you can get in the U.S.

I mean, they're just going after Gatorade on this one.

Wasn't it the first Gatorade flavor, Lemon Lime?

But also, this looks like they have different names, but I grew up calling them Bomb Pops.

I feel like I'm really tasting the cherry in this one.

I think everyone who's tried these has said it.

These are very sweet, but I mean, I'm kinda not surprised.

Another thing I wanted to point out is that I was able to find Ice Pop flavors, both in the U.K. version and the U.S. version.

We're gonna get more into ingredients a little bit later on, but I'll do a very quick taste to see if there's any notable differences.

We'll start with the U.K. one, and then we'll try the American version.

The flavors are broadly the same, but the way that this one kinda hits your taste buds, it's very different, and it's really weird.

When you consume a drink, obviously you wanna feel like your thirst has been quenched.

You take a sip, and there's something in here that's actually kind of drying my mouth out, almost.

I think if I had to pick which ones to prefer, it is gonna be the U.K.'s, and I'm not just saying that from bias.

All right, well, that's pretty embarrassing.

No kidding, they're getting progressively better as we go through them.

This is really good, and this doesn't feel as sweet as the other ones, or am I just getting used to it?

I think my tongue's adjusting to the sweetness.

Of the many sports teams in the world that have some sort of deal with Prime,

Yeah, I'm seeing people on eBay bidding a lot for these, so straight up, I don't know what flavor this is, but it's good.

I mean, we have a professional relationship.

As far as lemon-flavored, not carbonated beverage, pretty good.

I was also able to get my hands on one of the American exclusives, the Lemonade flavor.

I'm interested to try this because the U.S. and the U.K.

do have slightly differing ideas of what lemonade is.

Obviously, in the U.K., we consider, generally, lemonade to be like a carbonated, clear beverage, like a Sprite, whereas in America, it's usually just kind of like lemon juice, sugar, and water combined, so it does taste a bit like you've let a Sprite kind of go flat.

You can probably keep this one for the time being, guys.

What about this says, like, oh, that's so refreshing?

Bubblicious, like one of those really fruity ones.

We're gonna start down this end with the Glowberry flavor.

Now, I did have to Google this to see if Glowberries were an actual berry or not.

I think it generally refers to a berry flavor and also the fact that the bottle is supposed to glow in the dark.

My first taste of Prime, and it's not blown my socks off to say, it's just a very artificial berry flavor.

Next up, we've got Strawberry Watermelon.
