SodaStream Review & Giveaway
I was thrilled to recently have the opportunity to review a Fountain Jet Starter Kit from SodaStream! I received the kit before Christmas and had a blast using it with my family. I even watched an infomercial on it late at night when we stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. Plus, I spoke to another customer while waiting in line at IKEA one night. He exclaimed how much he and his family loved it as well!
We don’t buy soda too often in our home because it can add up in cost quickly and takes up a lot of valuable storage space – since we live in an 800 square foot house, we need all the storage space we can get. However, the Fountain Jet takes up very little space and makes awesome-tasting soda!
I love this commercial about SodaStream and how Mom becomes a Magician! Not only do you save money on great tasting soda, but you use less bottles, thus saving the world one bottle at a time!
How does SodaStream work? It’s simple. You fill up the plastic bottle with tap water up to the FILL LINE. Then you thread the bottle onto the machine and press until you hear it buzz. By pressing the button, you are carbonating the water. The average fizz takes 3 buzzes. Unthread the bottle and add your favorite tasting syrup. You can choose up to 18 different flavors. Or you can drink the water without syrup, just like Sparkling Water! I love SodaStream and am sure you will too!

I find that is less expensive than purchasing soda the most intriuging. And, what it actually might taste like. We don’t give the kiddos a lot of sodas, but I bet they’d find this fun. Thanks for the giveaway.

What I find most interesting is how simple it is. You use regular water, carbonate it, add flavor, and your done. Also easy clean-up. I totally want this.

The SodaStream sodas contain fewer calories than regular soda. According to their web site: Regular Coke 100 calories; SodaStream Cola 34 calories!! And they contain no high-fructose corn syrup!! I’ve wanted one of these ever since I followed a discussion about them on a cooking forum. Great giveaway!!

What I find most interesting is that you only use water,so you have little added ingredients and it the system is easy to clean (according to the video on the website). Not only do you get to have the soda mix flavors they offer, but they also have water flavors. And if you like (not my cup of tea) you can even drink just plain carbonated water. I researched this a little more, and some people carbonate their own things, such as juice. The possibilities are large! I also love that you can exchange the cartridges so you are recycling and reusing!
Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaway!

I find it pretty interesting that people still buy cases of seltzer when it’s cheaper and so easy to make (and not have to store) with the sodastream

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! That saves a lot of landfill!

The most interesting thing i found is that this is all done w/ regular water or even filtered/bottled water and you have so many flavors to add! I have wanted one forever and am so intrigued to see how well the flavor mixes with just a few gentle shakes to mix the flavors.
