They were a tyranny in our house too! I bought a Sodastream, HobbyBrew CO₂ cannister and an adapter to join the two together. For the cost of like 30 bottles of Diet Coke I now have cheap fizzy water and the kids can add squash to it.
- jstanley 2y agoI looked at doing this but calculated that the CO2 bottles work out more expensive than just buying bottled sparkling water from Lidl.
- cjk2 2y agoYeah the CO2 bottles and exchange is expensive as hell. It's apparently cost effective if you use a commercial one but the outlay is pretty high. Not worth it either way IMHO. I just put up with flat shit.
- telchior 2y agoThere's also Sparkel, which uses a baking soda + citric acid powder in a separate reaction chamber. The cost is pretty low per bottle if you buy the bulk powders and mix it yourself; has been a while but when I had a Sparkel, I think I worked out that the cost was somewhere under 10 cents per 750ml bottle.
