Cowgirl: A soda stream is a kitchen device from the 80s and 90s. You used to get canisters of C02 from the supermarket, put it into the Soda Stream and carbonate your own drinks. You could carbonate concentraded cola, orange, lemon and many other flavours to make Fizzy Cola, Lemonade etc.
The more aventrous could attempt to carbonate milk, tea, orange juice, vodka etc. Attempting to carbonate any of these would cause the liquid to froth up, out of the bottle and onto the work surface.

What is a soda stream? In the first place? Sorry it may be because I am canadian and live a sheltered life here in the great white north, while riding my polar bear to school in the winter and my moose in the spring. While I live in an igloo!

These were one of the greatest inventions ever made. Making your own fizzy drink at home, rather than going to a shop, classic. People still drink fizzy drinks that are made in this way only on a larger scale. The fizzy drinks you get from a pub and in a tap are made this way. A big box of syrup connected to a machine that also has a big cannister of gas. Exactly the same way and pretty much the same taste.

yeah we used to own one back in the late 80's and part of the 90's but i never did milk.
I stopped using it when Tesco started selling value litre bottles of coke at 15 pence. Soda stream was expensive wasn't it to use as the gas cylinders were about 12 pounds each.

God yeah! We had a really old looking Soda Stream when we were little, we were so cool making our own drinks. I saw a new version at Asda with 12 little packs of the syrup so had to buy it! The device cost me £30 and I used it twice, I think it's in the garage now but they were fun!

Yes we did. Our young daughter wanted one, it was just before the present 2 litre bottles of soft drinks ( cost next to nothing!) came on the market. By the time we'd bought the unit, gas cylinder, syrups & special bottles, it was a waste of money!

Hell yeah, Soda Stream was amazing. Never tried milk, but I've done coca cola, strawberry, raspberry etc etc ... loads of them.
Soda Stream is si underrated, amazing thing it was.

Yeah, got a whole set up so the kids could concoct all kinds of crazy sodas...the only thing I did like about it was that they delivered, otherwise expensive, messy, and always was out of MY favorite syurp when I wanted one!
