Product I love

Have you gotten a Soda Stream yet? We did, in fact we got two of them. One for the condo and one for the farm. The lovely husband was in charge of the choosing, there are many choices as far a design and price point – so these are the ones we (he) got.

Here’s why I love this product. I get so bugged by all the plastic water bottles all over the place. The soda stream will save us all from having a zillion plastic bottles to recycle or throw away.  And yes, there are still some people who just chuck their plastic into the trash – because they are too lazy to recycle. Speaking of that, have you heard of that huge mass of floating garbage  in the Pacific Ocean. I think it’s mostly made up of plastic water bottles and it’s something like twice the size of freaking Texas. So…. Let’s avoid adding to that fiasco, shall we.

Here’s another reason why I love it. No more flat sparkly water or tonic. Just make enough to drink, use it. Make more. You don’t have to buy liters of sparkly water and then waste what doesn’t get used.

And…..there are flavors. We’re not very much of a “soda” family, so we go for the plain sparkling water, but………they have TONIC. So, when you are making your summer Gin and Tonic’s, you can make enough tonic this way and you won’t have old tonic laying around getting bad. I was sort of suspicious of the Soda Stream Tonic mix, what if it wasn’t as good as “real” tonic…. But IT IS!  I’m happy to report, you won’t even notice a difference, and now you’ve just saved more cans and bottle recycling. Awesome!

Other flavors are basically all the flavors of soda and juices, so you can pretty much find whatever you need. And they are sold in the same place as the Soda Stream.  Notice, they are at all the stores, so you should get out there and take a look. And…. The last great part is that the CO2 refills are at the same places – and you can just bring your old cartridges back there too.

Ah, sooooooo thirsty!
