I heart flavored fizzy water… SodaStream! Review, Giveaway ends 10/9 #fb

Posted by on Sep 29, 2009 in giveaways, reviews | 98 comments

Kid A is testing soon for his CDL. What better experience than to have him drive on the freeway, right? Even better,  have him drive me to a grocery store twenty miles away. It’s a win-win situation!

While shopping that day, I found a deal on flavored bubbly water – half the price as the stores in my area. Raspberry, Peach, Strawberry, Kiwi, and Grape, I love them all! I stocked up not only because the price but who knows the next time he’ll willingly chauffeur me?

Speaking of flavored bubbly water, you can imagine how excited I was when the opportunity came up to try out the new SodaStream product (Fountain Jet Starter Kit).

P1010111

I sampled: Diet Grapefruit, Diet Cola, Diet Ginger Ale and a few more.

Aside from the cost savings, lower calories, sugar and sodium -
here are the five things I like best about the SodaStream Starter Kit:
1) The kit was easy enough to assemble, w/o any DH HELP *pats myself on back*
2) The amount of carbonation can be controlled by you
3) Make your own soda water at home, quickly – love this
4) Plastic bottles are BPA-Free and are made with environmentally-friendly materials
5) Diet mixes are made with Splenda

Other great things about this product:

-Easy and quick to make your own soda
-Fun for the family to make together (teach kids how soda is made)
-Refreshing and tastes great (chill water in fridge for best taste)
-Helps the environment by using less soda bottles
-Bottles are simple to wash and reuse

Please note: I am in the second week of using my SodaStream. I will provide an update when I finish the carbonation tank. So far, loving it!

    I really like the idea of this product- it’s carbonated and it’s right at home. You can choose to have carbonation or not. Its like a sleep number bed LOL- My husband likes tons of carbonation, I prefer flavored water type or really flat or low carbonation. Its neat!
