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??
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
but it’s the only good way to carbonate milk :(
I had never considered this possibility. I have milk in the fridge and a soda stream… the temptation is immense.
How wasteful.
Just take a mouthful of squash and blow into it really hard.
Mind you you also support apartheid by buying an overpriced product made in occupied West Bank Territories.
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?
I feel your pain. I’m already sorted for kegs so an adaptor to refill is quite cheap
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.
they wont be refilled, but perhaps there are stores with no name branded co2 cartridges?
I only use no2 cartridges
There are offbrands like Indigo, but they can be refilled as well. Stores won’t do it, but you can buy a 5~10lbs tank from a beer supply store and fittings and adapters from eBay/Ali.
There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them
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?
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.
I’m trying to follow the logic here.
SodaStream —> Zombie apocalypse
in just one easy step? Sign me up!
Climate change and humans is the underlying topic.
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 🤦♂️
So what you’re saying is I should drink the water that drips out of my exhaust when I start the car on colder days?
You don’t already?
You better get a glass of sparkling water in your hands, stat
I tried this on vodka and it blew up.
Soda stream is inferior. Get a drinkmate, it’ll carbonate anything
Or a corny keg and a 5lb cylinder. Zero waste too and you reuse everything.
I just use a carbonation cap for a normal 2L bottle.
This is what I do and it’s fantastic.
Non-carbonated tapwater for the win
