What I received in the mail was PURE Starter Kit that included Soda Maker, 60-Liter Licensed Carbonator & Two Carbonating Bottles. I was also sent various soda mixes as well!
I’m not a soda or carbonated water drinker at all. I always stick with water or teas but the idea of “creating” soda intrigued me so much! I always wondered how soda was made as a kid so I really wanted to experiment.
Being not a fan of sodas at all, I didn’t try them. I had my sister try all the different variety and the result? SHE LOVED THEM. She loved the fact that she could choose whatever flavor that she wanted.
I also love the style of the soda maker. The Pure Soda Maker received an honorable mention at the Red Dot Design Award (2008). Its design compliments elegance and practicality and is offered in a unique color variety. Each Pure Soda Maker is made with attention to detail and utilizes high quality plastics finished with a brushed stainless steel exterior. (from the website).
Do you want to try it yourself?
Erin from Sodastream has graciously offered to giveaway their FOUNTAIN JET STARTER KIT valued at 100 dollars!!!!

The winner will receive:
1. Fountain Jet Soda Maker in choice of either black/silver, white, or red/silver
2. CO2 to make over 100 liters of soda
3. 2 reusable carbonating bottles
4. sample pack of flavors
5. 3 full-sized flavors of choice!
All you have to do is:
1. comment on this post letting me know what kind of soda you like the best. If you are not a soda drinker like me, let me know what kind of beverages you enjoy and your reason for wanting to try this maker esp when you’re not a soda drinker.
2. Link back to this post!!!
3. Twitter~
4. Add me to your blogroll and google reader.
Opened to US/CANADA residents only.

I’m not a huge fan of soda but I loooove soda water with fruit in it. Lemons, limes, berries – all SO good. If I win, I am hoping to try out new flavors of water. Yum!

I love Zevia soda the most! I also love seltzer water with a little bit of natural flavor. It’d be great to have this to make my own carbonated water with lemon or lime, and not have to buy it!

I don’t particularly care to drink soda, I stopped when I was about 13. Primarily right now then, I am a huge fan of green and white teas

I have to say, I love soda water! However, my wallet doesn’t really like paying for it. I love mixing soda water with fruit or fruit juice – its so refreshing! I’ve always wanted one of these, but I can’t afford it on my own. I really hope I win!

I’m trying to stop drinking sodas (dr. pepper!), but still love having some fizz in my drinks so carbonated water is a great alternative. However, I feel wasteful buying all these bottles of water, so being able to make my own would be ideal.

I think that’s a really cool product, and would love to try out making my own sodas. I’m all for mixing up custom flavours
I really only drink the occasional diet coke, most for the caffeine, because I’m not a coffee person. I’ll also partake in soda if it’s in mixed drinks, but I don’t drink much otherwise.

i’ve been eyeing a soda-maker for months. i love love fizzy drinks, but most of all seltzer. You get all the bubbly without the calories and chemicals. i do occasionally indulge in a diet coke with lime cause life’s too short.

Very cool. I saw this while in NYC last month. I can’t pick between 2 flavors. I really never drink soda, but if so I like gingerale and I also like lemon. I have been drinking more fanta lemon zero these days. Ok, I am off to twitter this and add you to my blog roll. If you get a chance check out my blog.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Pepper but when I buy soda in the aluminum cans it gives me weird headaches, and you know it’s so much more expensive to buy it in bottles. We have 2 kids and I’m a SAHM so we can’t afford to buy soda at that price. I would just love love love to win this! It would be a cheaper and slightly healthier and WAY FUNNER (is ‘funner’ a word?) way to have soda! Thanks for the chance to enter!
