It was a dream that I thought unattainable. Make my own soda (a.k.a. "pop", "coke", "sodapop" etc. depending on your geographical situation) at home.
I drink a lot of soda. Orange soda, Diet Coke, Root Beer, Grape, you name it, I drink it. I'm a thirsty guy. Lugging all those cans around, gathering them up to resell the empties, what a pain in my backside.
This Christmas, I received the ultimate soda-drinker's dream: the Sodastream. You get a kitchen gadget, a CO2 canister, and soda syrup. Bang. Make your own soda. When the CO2 canister runs out, exchange it for a new one for a nominal fee. My dad ran the numbers; it's cheaper than buying your soda pre-made.
Sure, the flavors are slightly different. Sodastream uses sucralose (Splenda) rather than aspartame for the diet sweeteners. And I'm sure they can't blatantly copy Coke/Pepsi recipes...but you know what? It's pretty close. Good enough for this soda-chugging fiend. They've even got Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, and Red Bull knock-offs. If it's a flavor people drink, Sodastream probably sells a knockoff.
Check it out. It's good stuff.
