The unbelievable scenes came as Aldi announced it would be selling Prime Energy on 29 December – an energy drink created by two YouTubers.

The drink, which was launched by KSI and Logan Paul, has become an internet sensation and has sold for as much as £300 on eBay.

In photographs shared with the Peterborough Telegraph, queues are seen stretched round the outside of the store before 8am when doors were due to open.

The drink was sold as a ‘special buy’ with only limited stock.

One shopper told this newspaper the drinks at a different Aldi store, at One Retail Park, had sold out by 8.10am.
