Most of you know how much I love diet pop and I'm trying harder to do juices and other flavored waters. I've been seeing the Sodastream for a while now and thinking what a cool invention. When I think of the cost of what I pay for pop and I go overboard when it's on sale and load up. The only thing now is I have no where to store it but the mancave! And as we know Rick is very protective of his mancave does not like when I invade it with pop, TP, papertowels and other items that I overstock on.
Sodastream is the answer to many of Rick's prayers and you should have seen his face when it came in the door. Usually he gets all mad when he hears the doorbell, oh great what now are you going to shove in my area (AKA mancave). Then he saw the name on the box and was intrigued! Ok what do you have, I said something you even will enjoy. As many of you know my many arguments with Rick and his pop habit.
Sodastream not only comes in 30 Flavors pop but they also offer flavored water, teas, Tonic and Energy Drink . I was so impressed with the flavors we've tried each of them since they arrived (yes love pop). The machine was so easy to do it (I even show Rick reading the directions below). I loved that you can just put it in the fridge and when it's empty you just make another one and guess what this time you an you can do a new flavor!
So now you're think ok how about the CO2 bottles? Well they have this great exchange program so you're being green! Guess what you can do it by mail or get this they have retailers by you, I put my state and zip in the Where To Buy and up popped up like 5 in my area. Yes not a long drive I mean with in 10 minutes of our house! I love this you can exchange your CO2 bottle and pick up some new flavors. So you're thinking ok cost, using the Sodastream is about 25 cents per can. So I check out my receipt from Walmart did my magic with math and found I'm pay 35 cents on sale!
So not only are you getting a better deal on your soda, you're being Green to mother Earth and guess what it's even more nutritious for you! Check out the awesome little spreadsheet!

Rick was my tester!
He had a lot of fun putting this together
(don't mind the leggos sorry I should have cleaned the table)
And the taster is me!
I was not paid for this review these are my opinions and experiences, I received products to try and to tell how I liked them. No monetary or any other form of compensation was given to me. I review products free of charge to give my experience and opinion.
That looks really interesting. I actually love how you have the legos on the table, shows you are really doing a review, not some "staged" thing. I can't believe you got Rick to read the directions, husbands DON'T read directions, it's in their handbook.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time and you seem to be enjoying the product. Too bad we don't drink soda.
Thanks for the review.
I drink Diet Soda like they are going to stop making it tomorrow. Listen, Mommy needs caffeine. I gave up smoking when I got married, I stopped cursing when I was pregnant with #1, and I can count the number of alcoholic drinks I have had in the past 5 years on one hand. Mommy NEEDS her diet soda!!
ReplyDeleteThis thing looks awesome! I am actually considering buying it for my mom's husband. He would love it!!!
BTW, love that Legos are on the table. Let's us know that you are real. :-)
I think I'd be in love with this. I'll have to check it out more later when I get back from dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy parents got one of these when they got home from Germany so they could still have plain carbonated water (which is totally gross, but they got used to drinking it over there.) They love it!
