Mind you you also support apartheid by buying an overpriced product made in occupied West Bank Territories.

Idk about other countries but there's like several generic supermarket alternatives to sodastream in all bigger shops here, and idk who the fuck would buy the overpriced sodastream brand co2 when most markets sell a generic brand bottle for half the price.

So at least here it doesn't have a majority of the market. Perhaps the largest share, but I don't think the majority.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

thats why my cartridges are aftermarket and not by "jews and arabs working in harmony" as sodastream on their product packaging suggests.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Ugh. Welp I already own two bottles (BB&B clearance), know where I can refill them instead of exchanging?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

The stock ones can't be refilled unfortunately. You need a special adapter and some modified airsoft tanks: https://www.sodamod.com/

Our CO2 refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop now; worth it, IMO, but we drink a lot of carbonated water.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Welding supply might do it. Call and ask

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Provided you want to consider welding supplies to be food grade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah. The airgas I shop at has that for a premium over industrial

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Same. They even give you a return label to send them the empties for a 22% discount on refills

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Me too, but I got a sodamod for mine and refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop. Paintball places are cheap too, or some Dick's Sporting Goods can do it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

they wont be refilled, but perhaps there are stores with no name branded co2 cartridges?

[–] wildbus8979 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Jumuta 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

but it's the only good way to carbonate milk :(

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I had never considered this possibility. I have milk in the fridge and a soda stream... the temptation is immense.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's a very creative way of making milk that isn't spoiled, but tastes like it is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Do it and report back. Ideally via live stream.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Reporting back. Please never try it. For your own sanity. Also I'm pretty sure I broke my soda stream.

[–] Jumuta 1 points 2 hours ago

im sorry ._.

BUT on the bright side you now have carbonated milk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

via soda steam

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Sorry, but he deaded.

Opp is kil.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Sure, make a new foam cannon

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?

[–] shaserlark 6 points 16 hours ago

What if we collect the CO2 from cars and fill up the cartridges with it and then we drink the car CO2 water? We can drive cars and combat climate change!

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Oh sorry, I didn't realize this was a shitpost 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You better get a glass of sparkling water in your hands, stat

[–] EmoDuck 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] erusuoyera 2 points 23 hours ago

You don't already?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Coldcell 2 points 15 hours ago

Have an Aarke and it's great, solidly built of metal. I really like their whole 'no plastic crap' design.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Non-carbonated tapwater for the win

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I tried this on vodka and it blew up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

Tried it on white wine and it made champagne that was better than champagne btw

Specifically Gewürztraminer

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Soda stream is inferior. Get a drinkmate, it'll carbonate anything

[–] Sprocketfree 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Or a corny keg and a 5lb cylinder. Zero waste too and you reuse everything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

This might work for me. Thanks for the idea!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I just use a carbonation cap for a normal 2L bottle.

[–] Sprocketfree 1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yea I mean I guess if you don't want all 5 gallons of glory!

[–] Sprocketfree 2 points 9 hours ago

We make hibiscus water and it's amazing. I'd recommend it to all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean, I'd love to have five gallons, but that costs, you know, money.

Specifically, a corny keg is like $50 used or $100 new, whereas a carbonation cap is like <$10.

How wasteful.

Just take a mouthful of squash and blow into it really hard.
