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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months 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.

[–] SkyezOpen 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] EvilBit 8 points 2 months 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.

[–] Sam_Bass 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] voracitude 5 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I only use no2 cartridges

[–] voracitude 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] Sam_Bass 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Welding supply might do it. Call and ask

[–] rob_t_firefly 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sam_Bass 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] UnfortunateShort 10 points 2 months ago

There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them

[–] Dasus 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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] 59 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months 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!

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Aqarius 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] db2 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Do it and report back. Ideally via live stream.

[–] Paddzr 5 points 2 months ago

Sorry, but he deaded.

Opp is kil.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

im sorry ._.

BUT on the bright side you now have carbonated milk

[–] SwordInStone 3 points 2 months ago

via soda steam

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] 18 points 2 months ago

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

[–] pufferfisherpowder 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

You don't already?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Non-carbonated tapwater for the win

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] 474D 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I tried this on vodka and it blew up.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] grue 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

This is what I do and it's fantastic.

[–] voracitude 1 points 2 months ago

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

This might work for me. Thanks for the idea!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

Specifically Gewürztraminer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

How wasteful.

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