Wife just got me a soda maker. We were sipping and chatting idly about how it’s so weird that our little town doesn’t offer recycling on our street. The bubbles were so strong that right on cue I was able to burp-scream WUD THE FUHHHHGHHKK about it
Seriously, what’s with that
it’s so weird that our little town doesn’t offer recycling on our street.
A lot of places don’t even recycle the recycling. The idea of recycling is great but in practice it’s pretty much a shit show. Not enough places doing it, not enough facilities to handle the different materials, not enough money in it to motivate corporations to do better.
…I pay for recycling, and my city has a recycling center. I hope they’re actually recycling the stuff I send to them. 😩 I’m mostly talking about the metal and glass. That’s the good stuff right there.
Sad but true. Best thing I can do is minimize plastic, hence the gadget
Yup! Recognizing the shortcomings can definitely help with future decision making about purchases. It would be nice to see a more urgent stance taken on recycling though.
It’s too late now I suppose for recommendations, but I really like my DrinkMate. Unlike SodaStream you can carbonate any liquid not just water. Comes out better if you premix the concentrate and carbonate all together. Lose too much carbonation otherwise. It’s also not a company that directly participates in genocide 👀 so that’s definitely better too.
Whatever you got I highly recommend getting a larger, standard tank and adapter. The prices these companies charge for CO2 is absolutely insane. Find a local supplier, dry ice can also work.
Check out Big Clive. He’ll put anything through a SodaStream. The below link is Fireball, but he’s done a dozen or more different experiments with it and not all work. He’s a neat guy though.
That’s the one we went with. Thanks for the nudge about standard tanks, I actually was considering getting a corny keg down the road just for my brewing hobby anyway. Need to find a local supplier though.
