You put the CO2 in this bad boy, you put the CO2 in the drink and bottoms up we save the planet! Why is big soda trying to ruin the planet??
Mind you you also support apartheid by buying an overpriced product made in occupied West Bank Territories.
There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them
Idk about other countries but there’s like several generic supermarket alternatives to sodastream in all bigger shops here, and idk who the fuck would buy the overpriced sodastream brand co2 when most markets sell a generic brand bottle for half the price.
So at least here it doesn’t have a majority of the market. Perhaps the largest share, but I don’t think the majority.
thats why my cartridges are aftermarket and not by “jews and arabs working in harmony” as sodastream on their product packaging suggests.
Ugh. Welp I already own two bottles (BB&B clearance), know where I can refill them instead of exchanging?
The stock ones can’t be refilled unfortunately. You need a special adapter and some modified airsoft tanks: https://www.sodamod.com/
Our CO2 refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop now; worth it, IMO, but we drink a lot of carbonated water.
I’ve read about ballers who pop the top and drop the appropriate weight of dry ice in. There are tutorials out there but it’s scarier than I’m willing to take on.
Don’t look at me though, I use Drinkmate.
Same. They even give you a return label to send them the empties for a 22% discount on refills
Me too, but I got a sodamod for mine and refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop. Paintball places are cheap too, or some Dick’s Sporting Goods can do it.
OK, but…that entire tank contains less CO² than the average car emits every kilometre. I don’t think soda stream are contributing massively to global warming. The fact that it’s an Israeli company with a history of exploitation of Palestinian labor, complicity in settlement expansion, and continued violations of Palestinian human rights, is a very good reason not to use it.
Edit. Oops, worked that out from the assumption of 60L of CO², closer inspection shows 410g, which would be around 3.5 KM.
Edit 2. The average person breaths out more than twice this amount of CO² a day. Perhaps being complicit in genocide is Soda Stream being carbon neutral?
What if we collect the CO2 from cars and fill up the cartridges with it and then we drink the car CO2 water? We can drive cars and combat climate change!
I think the loss of human lives at a large scale will eventually bring a new earth cycle to normality. It may not be the same ecosystem that it was, but it might be stable with humans being less of an infestation. This may be virus or starvation. We’ll all see soon enough.
Say no to ecofascism, kids.
Ecofascism tries to solve the looming problem of mass extinction with… mass extinction.
I’m trying to follow the logic here.
SodaStream —> Zombie apocalypse
in just one easy step? Sign me up!
but it’s the only good way to carbonate milk :(
Sure, make a new foam cannon
Foamy diarrhea
I had never considered this possibility. I have milk in the fridge and a soda stream… the temptation is immense.
It’s a very creative way of making milk that isn’t spoiled, but tastes like it is.
Non-carbonated tapwater for the win
I tried this on vodka and it blew up.
One of those canisters is equivalent to burning 178mL of gasoline. Or enough to power an average car for 2km. Most people burn through the equivalent of 30+ of these a day going to work and back.
Oh sorry, I didn’t realize this was a shitpost 🤦♂️
People keep mentioning Drinkmate, and it sounds fine but I’ve never heard of it- in Europe you can get the Aarke which is essentially a (I believe) Danish clone, interchangeable bottles etc
Have an Aarke and it’s great, solidly built of metal. I really like their whole ‘no plastic crap’ design.
