Soon, it will be unaffordable.

I don’t drink sparkling water and the savings is negligible if you make your own soda.

I’m paying about $0.40/litre including the soda flavouring (Diet Mt. Dew is current fave when I drink soda). What are you paying for yours?
my energy drink packets with light carbonation always stay the same price

Cigs went up $2 in my state yesterday. I guess they are taxing the hell out of them. I think a pack of camels are $14. Back when i was a heavy smoker they were like $7

That’s good. I’m going by what ChatGPT said and at first it said the savings is small. I asked it a second time and rephrased the question and I could actually save a lot of money if I bought a soda machine.
If you have a Sparkel it is powered by a reaction between baking soda and citric acid. I buy both in bulk. This voids the warranty, but that hasn’t been an issue for me. I also buy the flavouring in bulk. Cheap to operate. I like diet soda but am cutting back mostly because I’m controlling sodium very carefully now. That’s why all the sparkling water with lime.

I just bought a SodaStream. The Sparkel is working good for you but only 52% of people gave it a 5 star review and 10% gave it 4 stars as it seems to have durability issues.

It needs to be cleaned regularly. They gum up if you don’t. They work differently from a Sodastream, but people treat them the same and break their Sparkel. Either is a good choice.

@77nick77 does it actually taste good now days? Back when I had a soda stream it tasted awful
Well, if you can go by reviews it got good reviews by 92% of the people and I would think if it tasted terrible then all those people wouldn’t have gave it 5 stars.

It depends on what syrup you use. I buy actual Coke and Pepsi syrups from a restaurant supplier.
