Nearly finished off the liter of Sodastream Diet Cola that I made after lunch today. Got nine bottles of flavoring syrup, including Diet Ginger Ale and Diet Orange. Two flavors I haven't had yet. My housemate Chelsea was looking hot and heavy at the Diet Ginger Ale because she likes that type of pop.

On my first liter today, Sodastream Diet Dr Pete. I'm going to have to find where my kitchen person put the unopened bottles because there's not enough Diet Dr Pete left to make another liter bottle of the yummy stuff. Never fear, I could always have some cola or root beer instead. I want to try the ginger ale. I've also got orange, but that's good for a change. Variety is the spice of life, after all.

Found where my housemates put the unopened Sodastream flavor syrups (in with the other pantry items, amazingly enough!). I've made a liter of Diet Ginger Ale, but haven't consumed it yet (my Boeing KC-46A "Pegasus" stainless steel tumbler is about half full of Sodastream Diet Dr Pete and ice).
Sodastream states that you can put in other flavoring ingredients. Wonder if I can make a version of Sonic's Blackberry Diet Dr Pepper in a Sodastream carbonating bottle? That stuff's worth a trip to Sonic just to get it!

Decided I'd had enough ginger ale (nothing wrong with Sodastream Diet Ginger Ale, but I wanted something else more) and I put about half of it down the drain. I've got more carbonating bottles on order. Made a liter of Dr Pete. The only variety with sugar that I got. I was hoping that the kid would drink it. He absolutely insists on real Dr Pepper. He also refuses to eat store brand chips. That may be because he takes the bags off to a status-conscious middle school.

The soda in the supermarket taste much better... Whatever you choose to believe. Of course, you probably work for Big Soda.

Pop is basically carbonated water with flavoring, after all. Went in the kitchen about an hour ago and whipped up a liter of Sodastream Diet Cola (tastes more like Diet Coke than Coke Classic, Pepsi, or RC, which is fine with me). Used it to wash down my morning pills in the middle of the afternoon.

Need to get some of the half-liter bottles for those flavors I don't want to drink a lot of. I went to Walmart this afternoon and they only had the one-liter bottles. May try some of the other outlets that carry Sodastream supplies.
Also, when I made my last Sodastream Diet Cola, I used the last of the bottle of flavoring syrup. I've got two more on hand.

Started off my morning with a Sodastream Diet Root Beer on on the rocks. In a stainless steel tumbler that I got as a premium from the blood bank here. Also, found out that there are some interesting flavors that Sodastream USA does not choose to market. Kind of like sneaker companies having product they only market in Europe.

Speaking of store bought soda - I can place a 16 oz bottle of Coca Cola in the freezer to get it cold with some ice, then place a 16 0z Pepsi to do the same thing. This is what happens - When I open the Cola it does nothing, but when I open the Pepsi it spews all over me and the counter and the cabinets. What the heck?? I'm going back to Cola when I use this Pepsi up. Sale or not, it will be Coca Cola.

The unique shape was introduced in 1916, and it has been trademarked.

I'm nearly done with my second liter of Sodastream pop today. I started out with a Diet Cola, then went to a Diet Dr Pete in the afternoon. For both flavors, I had to open new bottles of the flavoring syrup.
Pretty much used to using my Fizzi machine as a routine event.

Made a liter of Diet Root Beer late this morning and I’ve nearly consumed it all. Probably would have consumed it all except I needed to run my housemate Chelsea to the dentist.
