I used to agree with that perspective, however wife got one recently despite my grumbling and it's actually been good!
The big thing for us is that we don't drink a 1.5L bottle in a day and normal purchased soft drink seems to go flat so quickly. End up wasting half of it.
So…. I don't really use the big Sodastream bottles much for the same reasons as above, but the 500ml single serves are great! Never flat because I drink it in a single sitting and I can keep a few flavours at hand depending on my mood.
Still working out what flavours are the best tho, but will grab a few more on this sale I think.
Adding on to that. I mostly use it for the sugar free flavours and only really use half the recommended syrup serving size. If I did the same with real bottles and cans I’d have to be mixing it with soda water to get the same effect.
We do sugar free too, which ones in that list are?
*edit silly me obviously the Zeros…
@bobwokeup: Yeah. Zero and Pepsi max. There’s also a zero sugar Fanta and solo brand but they’re more expensive and not on sale right now
Do they use sucralose? Do you have any concern over the health issues relating to possible gut inflammation and increased risk of obesity and diabetes? I'd just go natural sugar..
@turtlesinmypants: Lol, people don't get obese drinking zero/low cal drinks.
There's some evidence that it can upset your gut mircobiome, but you'd have to be taking in a crap load of sweetners for that to happen.
Having said that, the suggested serving amounts for these are way too much I find. The Schweppes syrups suggests a bottle makes 3.3L, while I find I get about 10x more than that from one. No way I could drink them at the suggested dose.
@turtlesinmypants: I’m going sugar free to reduce obesity. Going natural sugar would do the opposite
Isn't it much cheaper than buying soft drink bottles from the supermarket?
I stopped buying Sodastream based on their prior association with the IDF
Ok
Nice!
Funny you should say that cuz I’m using the product exactly because of that
I only started buying sodastream to support it
They predominantly employ Palestinians anyway. Its now a American owned Pepsi subsidiary anyway.
Wait. You meant international diabetes federation, right?
Peach ice tea, in still water taste identical to the original bottles
agree no sparkling required
Curious do they even taste like the real thing?
Depends on your thoughts of post mix fountains at pubs/fast food places etc. if you’re the “I only drink out of a can” type of person then it’s probably not worth it.
Spoon of lemon lime bitters, squeeze of an orange and bourbon (over ice). No soda stream required.
That’s an odd Pepsi recipe
Yeah nah ..got nothing for the Pepsi, but …the lemon lime bitters over bourbon is the go, and regularly the same discounted price.
👍 sounds tasty. Shame I’ve been alcohol free since 22. I’ll stick with the soft drink versions
I think drinking SodaStream tricks your brain a bit thinking its healthy or healthier because its "homemade". If you drink more soda as a result its a net loss.
Or should I say net GAIN
Thanks OP. Can keep my sugar fountain flowing.
I get the novelty but that's where it ends for me.
