    Anyone else remember these. They used to be huge back a while ago, and I remember thinking they were so cool when my cousin got one.

    Reason i'm asking is, I've just seen one for the first time in ages in Argos, and wouldn't mind getting one sometime, but are the powders or whatever you add still available, cause I wouldn't have a clue where to pick them up.

    We had one of those, we thought it was brilliant I used to ove this pink stuff that was loosely based on the movie gremilns, it's strange the mixtures it came up with - Witches Brew, Gizmo something or other.

    I really liked the cream soda that it did, hadn't tasted something like that before so it was a real treat, now it tastes a bit naff tbh

    Did anyone ever try it with water? I thought it'd taste like lemonade.

    Reminds me of my memory of it actually. My cousin lived at me grannies for years for convenience, and he had one, and myself and my younger sister used to love using it, was about 8 or something at the time afair.

    Nah, it's worse than sparkling water.... at least the sparkling water you buy doesn't have the nasty taste of the soda stream machine, I think it only happened with water though cos the soda stream flavour things hid the taste or something.

    Ever try drinking the soda stream cola stuff without diluting and fizzing it? NOT a good idea...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭littleninja


    I would imagine that was foul Seamie, those things were sickly sweet enough when they WERE fizzed up :dunno:

    Has anyone ever tried a broken coke fountain, when all that came out was the syrup? Now that's sweet.
