Risque supermarket advertisement leaves business owners in stitches
- Replies 4
Over the weekend, rapper KSI and internet star-turned-boxer Logan Paul, two prominent internet personalities from the UK and the US, strolled down the drinks aisle of a Coles supermarket Down Under.
What they saw left them in stitches.
Right by the side of an aisle, a cardboard cutout of Logan could be seen holding a bottle of Prime Hydration, his joint sports drink venture with KSI.
Nothing amiss there, of course. Just your run-of-the-mill grocery display.
But, right beside Logan’s figure was one of KSI. His, however, had been cheekily trimmed down to stand below Logan’s erm… waist.
KSI’s cardboard cutout is seen drinking a Prime bottle, everything is still normal, right?
Side-by-side, the display was arranged to look like KSI was sucking on Logan’s… uh, Prime bottle right in a Coles aisle.
A TikTok post on Logan’s account reveals that most of the surprise at the sight was on KSI’s part as Logan could be heard telling his partner: ‘I don’t think you’re going to see this coming’ just right before they enter the aisle the setup was in.
KSI looked absolutely flabbergasted, hollering out in laughter.
‘No, no! Why am I always sucking you, bruv,’ he said in between fits of amusement.
Logan’s post has been viewed 1.5 million times, with 812.8k hearts (likes) and over 4,000 comments.
A number of these poked fun at the surprise for KSI.
‘KSI has the best sense of humour,’ one user said.
Another added: ‘I work at Coles; I really hope I see a sign like that.’
‘That laugh (of KSI) is one of a kind,’ a third added.
We have to agree that it’s great to see a good-humoured reaction.
But while KSI and many users got a laugh out of the whole situation, the two met the purpose of their visit with flying colours as the comments section was dominated by people clamouring for Prime in their countries and others asking in disbelief if the store was in Australia because the place was familiar.
Logan Paul and KSI have been on tour across Australia as part of promotions for Prime Hydration, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that they’ve been causing a stir with their visit.
It was reported that their recent appearance on the Today show had thousands of fans gathering outside the store’s studio in Sydney for a peek at the two.
Police were called to help with the situation, and at least one fan was hospitalised over the incident.
Logan Paul and KSI have millions of fans and followers across their social media platforms (mostly teenagers) between them and are internet sensations in their own right.
Logan rose to fame on Vine, a now-defunct social media platform similar to TikTok, and then later on pivoted to podcasting and sports as an amateur wrestler and boxer.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji, rose to fame on YouTube by posting reaction videos, particularly of sports-themed video games.
It was in boxing that the two crossed paths, having figured in two widely publicised fights overseas in August 2018 and November 2019. The first match resulted in a draw, while KSI won the second.
Reports say both Coles and Woolworths will be selling Prime Hydration.
So, what are your thoughts on this cheeky arrangement of Logan Paul and KSI? Have you heard of them, especially from your grandkids, if you have any?
