SodaStream (Giveaway)

March 8, 2010

Happy Monday to you!

Today’s Giveaway is a really, really good one!  So please take a seat and get comfy so you can fully appreciate its awesomeness.

Meet the SodaStream:

It’s a home soda maker that will save you so much money, lugging, and trash.  And best part: no aspartame and no high fructose corn syrup!

You twist the CO2 Carbonator into the rear of the unit.

Then twist the plastic bottle you’ve filled with cold water into the front of the unit.

Then press the button on top of the machine and the CO2 shoots into the water bottle.  Sorry I cut off the button, it was tricky to take photos while I was pushing it, (and I was talking on the phone with my mom so I had to cradle the phone with my shoulder – multitasking).  You push the button 3 times.  I usually unscrew it and give it a quick taste to make sure it has enough “juice”.  If you were over and we were going to share, I would refrain from doing this, scout’s honor.

Then you pick your flavor, caffeine-free Diet Cola for me, and pour 1 cap full into the carbonated bottle.  One of these little bottles ($4.99) makes the equivalent of 33 cans of soda.  In addition to the expense, I’ve just saved several trips to the recycling center.

Voila!  A little drink treat for me!

Lots of fizz, just like a soda fountain should be.  I’m telling you dee-lish! – I can’t tell the difference.

These are just some of the many flavors offered.  You can see the full list here.

Giveaway

You can win one SodaStream machine, one CO2 Canister, 2 soda bottles and a sampling of flavors just by leaving a comment by Friday, March 12th and I’ll choose the winner using Random.org on Saturday, the 13th.  Because of the complexities of shipping the included CO2 Canister, this giveaway is only open to residents of the 48 continental states.

You can get an extra entry by emailing 5 of your friends about The Good Stuff Guide (or tweeting or leaving something about TGSG as your status update on Facebook).  As always, I trust ya!

Good luck!

***UPDATE*** #15: Kim won the SodaStream!  Congrats!

Also, SodaStream has offered you great readers $10 off a new machine purchased at SodaStreamUSA.com.  Use coupon code “GOODSTUFF”.

This isn’t me, but here’s a video where you can see the whole thing performed for you.

    I’d love to try it. I wrote a book on Mocktails and am sure I could put the soda stream to good use with my recipes!

    So cool!!! This would be great for us, As we typically make punch adding a little carbonated drink for fizz. Love the idea of no aspartame or hfcs. Posting a comment on Facebook also. :>)

    I know someone living in Sweden right now and she wrote about this on her blog, too- I guess it is the norm there for people to have these in their homes. She loves it too!

    I have to know does it taste more like Pepsi or Coke?

    We used to have a similar machine and loved it. The problem with it was getting refills for the CO2. A great way to sparkle plain water.

    Our family just went to a local, “old fashioned” soda fountain last Saturday. I had a lime-coke, my husband had a cherry-coke, and our boys chose grape and strawberry sodas. It would be so much fun to do this at home–and somewhat healthier than store-bought, too!

    I’d love this! We got through lots of bottled flavored water in my house, and this would be such a money-saver.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    My Dad and brother each have machines like this….theirs look different, but work the same way. We looked at them, but at the time, they were a budget-buster. I’d love to win this one! Thanks for holding the giveaway!

    I’d love to try this. I don’t spend much on soda, but it would be fun to make our own w/o any sugar for the kids.

    I have this soda maker at home and I love using it because it is easy to clean and it saves money that would otherwise be spent on carbonated soft drinks.
