DESPERATE Aldi shoppers cleared the shelves of Prime in just ten minutes after the supermarket opened its doors.
Long queues of people snaked around Aldi stores in Worcestershire as people waited to get their hands on the coveted hydration drink.
Three Prime flavours had gone on sale at Aldi as a special offer priced at £1.99 but quickly sold out.
At Worcester's Aldi in Pheasant Street the shelves were cleared of the drink within ten minutes of the store opening.
There were chaotic scenes across the UK on Thursday as people rushed to get their hands on bottles of the drink fronted by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.
Videos showed adults snatching bottles out of children's hands while swarms of customers raced down the aisles trying to find the bottles.
People were queuing outside Aldi in Malvern on Grovewood Road from 6am and there were not many bottles left shortly after 8am.
However, it seems shoppers in Droitwich were less impressed with the Kidderminster Road Aldi still having stock left later in the day.

Asda in Silver Street, Worcester, regularly sells out of the drink creating a high demand for the drink with one convenience shop selling bottles for £15.
Despite the inflated price, people have been queuing outside the store in Brickfields to pay the hefty fee for bottles of Prime Hydration.
The convenience store has also started stocking XIX Vodka, which has been created by a popular group of YouTubers which includes KSI called Sidemen.
The store is selling XIX Vodka for £32.99, even though the official price of the drink is £35.
After yesterday's chaos, people have been flogging bottles of Prime for over quadruple their value.
Some bottles of the £1.99 drink were now on sale online for £8.
And it seems punters that missed out are now ready to pay a nearly 400 per cent premium to taste it, with ten bottles of Prime selling for £75 on Facebook Marketplace.
