Fizz, sparkle, and pop

David Letterman insists “there’s not a man, woman or child in America that doesn’t enjoy a lovely beverage from time to time.” He’s right, of course. At our house we’re hopelessly addicted to Letterman and to any drink that fizzes, sparkles, or pops when we open it. But that means lugging bottles from the store, cramming them into our pantry, and then taking the empty ones to be recycled.  So we were thrilled to find SodaStream from Soda Club Group, a company so old, it’s hip again.

In 1903 London, George Gilby invented a contraption that could turn still water bubbly. Unfortunately, his design was so large and elaborate, only the upper classes could afford it. Today’s SodaStream is sleek and affordable. With a touch of a button you can turn flat water effervescent. Add any of the company’s 25 flavored regular and diet syrups and you’ve got homemade soda at a fraction of the cost of store brands (and without high fructose corn syrup). It’s a great way to save time and money—and reduce your carbon footprint. No laughing matter.
