Yeah. Soda stream. It’s just not that good.

Was it the older model where you have to screw in the bottles? New version is much easier but still not very bubbly. I basically drink the whole quart within a few hours.

This is your review of soda stream?
Is there a better then store bought seltzer maker? My inquiring mind wants to know 😁

Drinkmate is the other popular maker. Similar results as the Soda Stream. I just can't deal with the plastic waste which never really gets recycled. I usually get cans of seltzer if I go that route.
 
The reviews I read all said the CO2 refills are a complete ripoff. But if you drink more than 2 cans of seltzer a day it may be worth it.

I don’t think I’m sold.

About $15 for an exchange, I get mine from Target but they are available at many other places. They usually come with at least one cylinder. One cylinder last 4-5 months for me

Ah, my other addiction. The omnipresent holiday Reese's. I never buy them yet they keep showing up in my house. Then every winter I am suddenly 10 pounds heavier.

Saw my doctor last week and she was kind enough to note that I was 4 pounds heavier than my last visit. I said, "Thanks for noticing; that's because there are Reese's Pumpkins everywhere I go, and I can't resist them."

I think the way to go is getting a under sink CO2 tank and hooking it into your water line. But then it's a project. Which is why I've never done it. But if you do, them come do my house after...
 
Just checked since I was curious.
5891 days.

Edited to hold my self accountable. Also quit smoking weed on the 1st of November. Been smoking pretty much my whole life. Had a few times I quit. But that's when I was still drinking and replaced one with the other. Been a daily habit for the past 17 years. Every fucking day.
Wasted so much of my time and money.
14 days so far and counting.

Made it to the magic 21 days.
Been a rough few weeks. Lots of changes happening in my life right now. This is when I'd typically try to smoke my problems away. Been finding better ways to cope with everything.

Congrats. If your serious, throw away all your paraphernalia.

And excersize and maybe journal?

Thank you.
I let my daughter destroy all my pieces. Im very open with her and she knows pretty much everything about me. So I put all my glass pieces in plastic bags and let her smash them on the front steps. I could see how proud she was of me. I'll never go back.

Some of them honestly hurt to hear getting smashed though. 🤣

I have the soda stream and use it constantly. Not as fizzy as store bought but okay

I make mine really fuzzy. Double blast gives a nice crack in the back of the throat. Sliced lemon squeezed add ice,…. Heaven

I have the kind that you send away in the mail and get two more. I was skeptical when my wife got it as a gift.. but I love it.
