Yeah he was entirely accurate on my part. My dad brought it home, we actually liked it though, we used it for a couple of months, but it got to expensive and now it collects dust.
My dad DID buy a sodastream but he actually never stopped using it. He is the only one that does use it though. I'm not sure if its cause he likes it or if he's just using it out of spite now.
Had one years ago, gas bottles didn't last long and they were expensive to replace. I usually just go to Sainsburys now, they sell 2 litre bottles of carbonated spring water for 20p! yes 20 pence. I get 5-6 bottles of those and store them. Make my own Pink Lemonade from a punnet of raspberries, lemon and orange, all boiled with sugar on the hob. This in turn makes a lovely syrup which you add to the carbonated water and voila! a healthier (compared to the likes of coca cola etc) fizzy drink.
I've unsuccessfully watched this video 3 times. Once, my iPad died, and twice, I've fallen asleep, because it was very early in the morning. I'm determined to finish it this time.
So I looked up that witches brew and while I didn't find the product, I did find a recipe for a pitcher of the stuff. 4 cups of sodastream grape Kool-aid. 1 cup of lemon lime soda. 1/2 cup of apple cider (you can replace it with apple juice) Refrigerate until cool. Top it with mini marshmallows.
just remember to never drink it in the worst dc universe (the teen titans go one). because everything in that universe is part of some kind of bizarre conspiracy of some kind.
WOW these have come a long way. I bought one a month ago, and it's way improved, everyone in the house uses it. The bottles are dishwasher safe now, and they have officially licensed soda syrups from Pepsi and bubly. They do still lose carbonation kinda fast though.
meanwhile at the local plumbing station "why did the pipe burst" "oh its cause somebody pored a few thousand kiloliters of really cheap soft drink down the drain"
I wonder if they are importing the CO2 canisters/supply from Europe if that's the case and the markup is from import tariffs. I'll have to look next time I see them. @@louiseogden1296
@@MrWolfSnack I just bought a new machine heavily discounted. €50 for machine (including a bottle & canister, €12 for a canister (60L) and €4 for Pepsi Max, 7 Up & Ice Tea a piece. I stocked up for about 300L in total after I sampled it first. At this discount it's definitely worth it. Pepsi has gone up a LOT since COVID - by 50% easily. I now pay €2.2 for a bottle of 1.5L or €1.5 per liter. Same for 7 Up. €12 for 60L means €0.3 for 1.5L. The syrup is €4 for 9 liters (but I find that it tastes just as good with a little less syrup so I should be able to get to 10-11) so let's say 50 cents per liter of 75 cents for 1.5L. Basically, I pay €1.05 for something that tastes VERY close to real Pepsi Max with these benefits: - less plastic waste & no lugging heavy packs of soda from stores - I can add fizz if it goes flat (half my bottles go flat when there's only a third or less left so I have to poor it out) - I can make as much as I need - if someone wants a glass or two, I fill the bottle only halfway. - I don't need a ton of space in my fridge - I keep a few chilled bottles of water & can add what I want when needed. When NOT discounted it's about 30-50% more expensive which is still cheaper than the store but but not by that much. I've bought enough to last me 6 months (the syrup doesn't use up a lot of space after all) and after that I'll have earned back the cost of everything really. Saving € a liter times 300 ...
lol I loved Ashens talking about how you'd buy one of these, use it once, declare you'll never need to buy expensive real soft drinks again, and then within a week it disappears onto a shelf, because that it EXACTLY what happened to me! My parents bought something like this and exactly that thing happened!
Had one of these in the 80s when I lived in a Australian outback mining town and was cheaper and handy to have at home. But then branded fizzy drinks got extremely cheap making sodastream expensive. I purchased one in 2003 for nostalgia only for them to change the gas bottles design 3 weeks after purchase. I got a few remaining old bottles to finish off my syrups then chucked it in the rubbish. Never felt so ripped off from that. My most favorite flavor was Portello.
I think it's because the fizziness reacts more violently to the syrupy water than the plain water. But the nozzle getting clogged would be another reason.
@@theblackwidower Nah. It is so sugar does not get into the nozzle since that first of all can clog it up and much worse acts as a breeding ground for bacteria so unless you clean it very well all the time you will spray condensed bacteria into your water in no time. Video is just some more or less funny attempt at shitting on a product without understanding it in the slightest so yeah
Dear Dr. A... two things: 1. It would've been interesting to see how sodastreaming other beverages would've turned out - like tea, coffee, wine, fresh OJ, Frijj milkshake, soup, gravy, etc... 2. When I was about 8 or 9 (so 1985-ish) I bought a can of drink that was called something like "Chocolade". Yup, a chocolate flavoured fizzy drink (in the UK btw). It was vile! Like someone had chewed up some generic milk chocolate and spat it into a can of lemonade. Unsurprisingly I never saw it again but also I've never been able to find any reference of it on t'interweb. Maybe you can? Or maybe you don't give a toss? Just thought I'd mention it.
In 2011 around Christmas time, there was an advert for the SodaStream, filmed on a home camera where some 20 year-old guy in a Christmas sweater and Santa hat was given a present with a SodaStream inside. He started crying. Pretty much sums up this machine...
Well, Stuart made that comment about his sister buying cheap fizzy drinks and Ryan said: "Hey, that's my mum you're talking about," so I assumed Ryan is his nephew. Also, Stuart referred to him as 'my nephew Ryan' on another video.
Kaptain Kappa It's NOT supposed to have the flavour in the drink while being carbonated. They did it wrong. It will be quite messy if you use flat softdrink.

+Fred Norris Ryan *is* actually his nephew, though. There was a moment near the middle of the video were Ashen's commented on his sister's choice in diet coke and Ryan replied with "Hey! That's my mum!"
Unless you want blow up your Soda Stream, do NOT try and make fizzy milk. I did once at my dad's - he went mental 'cause he'd only had it a day. I never did tell him it was because of my experiment...I spent a good couple of hours cleaning up and supergluing that bastard together again so as to destroy all the evidence of my exploits.
You are only suppose to carbonate the water, you add the mix afterward. Guy in video did it wrong as well. Hard to read 3 steps of instructions even if you're a popular youtuber I suppose.
+Bier ”Bierbart12” Bart Can confirm, there was a massive campaign for these here in Finland just a few years ago. I thought that these things were actually a new innovation made just a year or so before landing in Finland.
I did the math on these when they first came out... its as expensive as any normal brand softdrink with maybe a .05 cent savings per oz. Its mostly in the $15 C02 can... I played painball years ago and they give you like $.50 of C02 in their canister. It was the greatest marketing idea ever though. its new age revolutionary branding "Large" looking amount of servings, and promise to bring cheap drink options to you, everyone bought it. my walmart was sold out for 3 months! these guys made bank off a well laid scam
To be honest it depends on where you live. For example, I live in Finland, where you can drink tap water, so only the syrup and the co2 will cost you. Half a liter of regular soda costs about 2 euros here, which is around $2.75. Making half a liter of Sodastream soda costs you about 0.40 euros, which is just $0.55, so it is way cheaper.
maksuree It doesn't have to be, it's just that most of them think that tap water has horrid germs or something. I've drunken it all my life and i seem to be fine. Though depending on how you look at it, that makes bottled water even more pathetic...
DrakeSays Gaming Bottled water is just bottled tap water from your local water system and a 500% markup. (Maybe some filtration and a few minerals but they spend almost nothing on that.)
I actually got a Sodastream for Christmas and I am actually enjoying this. We actually prepped it the way you did in the video and how the instructions told us to do it and the taste is night and day. Putting the flavor in before carbonating the water kills the flavor...and if you don't wait, it will cause a great volcanic effect. Following the instructions and it actually tastes quite nice. I still enjoy the video and the rest of your videos, Ashens. I'm tempted to try some of the other flavors out there.
Your supposed to put the bubbles in the water before adding the syrup. And you can add more gas, I usually add way more than three short bursts. You keep adding gas until it makes a distinctive noise, that sounds like a fart.
It would be funny that if at the pause at 12:27. . . Ashens just dropped the glass on the floor, and then we hear a loud thud of a body hit the floor also. and then Ryan is just standing there muttering: "Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?!!!!!!!"
I think the main draw of a SodaStream is putting your own flavors in it. You can buy better-quality cola syrup, or juice concentrate, or even make your own syrup.
Thanks op guy from 3 years ago for reminding me of babylon 5 it's been a long time since I last seen that programme and I am gonna go watch it from the beginning again right now.
I have it on the good authority of Gary Hendersen, who was 10 when I was 8 and lived round the corner, that if you put an already-fizzy drink in a Soda Stream, it will blow your house up.
I haven't any kids, but I just brought one home for myself, and I'd definitely inflict it on my kids if I had one... I got three bottles of the flavor mixes (root beer, Dr. Pete, and orange), but haven't touched them yet: I've been having too much fun carbonating everything else that comes to mind - Kool-Ade lemonade carbonated isn't half bad! I'll try recarbonating the flat bottle of tonic I opened months ago and forgot about later. Can't wait to try some home-made root beer, cream soda, and sarsaparilla with all-natural ingredients, I'm trying to think of a way of doing home-made ginger-ale, and I'm curious about carbonated coffee, tea, and wine (home-made champagne?) This thing's a hoot!
Personally, I think cream soda is my favorite flavor of soda just because it's the one that always tastes different depending on who made it. I feel like no 2 brands of cream soda taste quite the same.
Yeah locally theres three Soda breweries that make cream and all of them are different (color taste) but White birch beer and cream have to be my favorites
Duncan Van Ooyen Huh. Care to explain why most cream soda I've had has a nice flavor the first sip, then it gradually declines to "meh"? Not sure if it's a common thing about cream soda or I'm drinking a bootlegged brand. :P
TheArnoldification Good cream soda is rich and sweet, and it can be a bit too strong drank quickly. As someone who drinks and eats things very quickly all at once, I sip cream soda very slowly. A couple brands that I favor are Stewarts and Boyland. I generally find the brown, caramel colored ones to be best, and some clear ones are decent. Stay away from that pink shit though.
4:30 You've probably already been corrected at least once about this, but you always carbonate the water first, then pour the syrup into the already-carbonated water. You don't carbonate already mixed up water and syrup for the exact point you made. You don't want this splattered all over your kitchen. And incidentally, you only want to carbonate chilled water. It holds the carbonation in and soda is always better cold anyway. Oh, and the point to Sodastream makers is not to buy Sodastream's lackluster syrup. You buy it to create your own unique sodas using other flavoring ingredients. For example, coconut flavoring and liquid sweetener makes for a fairly awesome coconut soda. I dare you to run out and find that in your local store.
I'd received one of these as a gift. I don't care for soda, but often make my own sparkling water, rather than buying bottles, mix it with cranberry juice and maybe vodka and lime juice, or just drink as is. You don't need to put it in the dishwasher, as you aren't supposed to put the syrup in the bottle. Also, you needn't dispose of the canister. Just have it refilled at a sporting goods store which refills paintball tanks, and continue to use the machine for practically nothing. It's actually a huge money saver. Love the Flanders reference.
I think he's said before in the comments (back before youtube fucked the comment system) that it doesn't actually matter what order you do it in, it just says that because if you do the fizz first then you don't have to clean the syrup off the nozzle.
Other possible advertising slogans for SodaStream: "The drinks it makes taste horrible, but if you encase it in concrete it makes a fantastic boat anchor" "Buy it now for $100 new, sell it for $0.75 at a garage sale in five years" "SodaStream: how to ensure that you never have guests" "Why buy the half decent store brand when you can have mediocre homemade" "SodaStream: even your kids will hate it" "Throw your money down the toilet, buy SodaStream" "SodaStream: guaranteed to traumatize your cat every time you use it" "Get fizzed with SodaStream....because we'll soak you in every other way possible"
To add to the list of slogans, it seems that the newest one is "SodaStream: Because fuck plastic bottles." Seriously, that's the slogan used to end the newest adverts.
Just wanted to leave a note of THANKS! (seriously, no sarcasm!) When you said "Looks like an old man's catheter(?) tube" it reminded me of what my Fathers' tube looked like as he was dying... yep... NEVER gonna get me a soda stream... that and watching you make it was horrifying... :D On a happier note, you should say thanks to MyVirginKitchen cause he keeps mentioning you in his "Secret vlog" and every time I thought "I wonder if its that same ashens who makes the interesting videos I don't watch anymore..." Finally looked you up again, and WOO! Having and Ash-a-thon now :D (Also, I promise to never say "ash-a-thon" ever again... that was dorky.)
+SkryZr - It doesn't matter at all for the flavour. It's just in the instructions because the sugar in the syrup can start blocking the CO2 nozzle if you don't properly clean it after.
When he described the product as being "one of those things your dad brings home" it was scary how accurate it was
Yeah he was entirely accurate on my part. My dad brought it home, we actually liked it though, we used it for a couple of months, but it got to expensive and now it collects dust.
Dads bringing home stuff. Thats the fun part of the day.
@Koholos Co2 from welding tanks has a little bit of oil in it not exactly ideal for drinks
My dad did a similar thing with a liquor tap, he put some whiskey in it, we tested it out with a few sips and I think he gave it away.
At least you have a dad
My dad DID buy a sodastream but he actually never stopped using it.
He is the only one that does use it though.
I'm not sure if its cause he likes it or if he's just using it out of spite now.

Fred Norris I have 12 aunts and 7 uncles, if his family is anything like mine he could very well have a ton of nephews.
Are all different nationalities too? Not racist, just asking.
+Fred Norris
Ryan *is* actually his nephew, though. There was a moment near the middle of the video were Ashen's commented on his sister's choice in diet coke and Ryan replied with "Hey! That's my mum!"
Wait soda streams were created in the 70s? Huh ?... I always thought they were made in the new millennium this thing was ahead of its time.
Me too.
Reintroduced in the early 2000s, my mum has to original 70s ones so with glass bottles that don't expire after three years.
Unless you want blow up your Soda Stream, do NOT try and make fizzy milk. I did once at my dad's - he went mental 'cause he'd only had it a day. I never did tell him it was because of my experiment...I spent a good couple of hours cleaning up and supergluing that bastard together again so as to destroy all the evidence of my exploits.
I know that for some liquids, if you just fill it half way it won't explode and leave a rather nasty mess. Did you fill it to the top?
To the top.
You are only suppose to carbonate the water, you add the mix afterward. Guy in video did it wrong as well. Hard to read 3 steps of instructions even if you're a popular youtuber I suppose.
...... Why ... would you want to make fizzy milk ?
Because it's more exciting than flat milk.
Wait, what, this stuff is from the 70's/80's..?
There's been some minor hype about them being "new" by some stores here in germany...
+Bier “Bierbart12” Bart yeah, its also been branded as new over here in the us quite recently. (or Im just really sheltered)
Same here in Canada...
Same here in 'Murica.
+Bier „Bierbart12“ Bart I know right!
+Bier ”Bierbart12” Bart Can confirm, there was a massive campaign for these here in Finland just a few years ago. I thought that these things were actually a new innovation made just a year or so before landing in Finland.
I did the math on these when they first came out... its as expensive as any normal brand softdrink with maybe a .05 cent savings per oz. Its mostly in the $15 C02 can... I played painball years ago and they give you like $.50 of C02 in their canister. It was the greatest marketing idea ever though. its new age revolutionary branding "Large" looking amount of servings, and promise to bring cheap drink options to you, everyone bought it. my walmart was sold out for 3 months! these guys made bank off a well laid scam
To be honest it depends on where you live. For example, I live in Finland, where you can drink tap water, so only the syrup and the co2 will cost you. Half a liter of regular soda costs about 2 euros here, which is around $2.75. Making half a liter of Sodastream soda costs you about 0.40 euros, which is just $0.55, so it is way cheaper.
Rapsutin
it still boggles me that there are first world countries, in this era, where fucking water has to be bought from a store.
maksuree It doesn't have to be, it's just that most of them think that tap water has horrid germs or something. I've drunken it all my life and i seem to be fine.
Though depending on how you look at it, that makes bottled water even more pathetic...
we dont pay for co2 and soda stream works well and you dont use oficial flavorings
DrakeSays Gaming
Bottled water is just bottled tap water from your local water system and a 500% markup. (Maybe some filtration and a few minerals but they spend almost nothing on that.)
for those wondering, burdock is also known as doc leaves, the ones people say help nettle stings but dont.
Yes tis true.
Nope, different things. Dock is any one of the plants in the genus Rumex; burdock is genus Arctium.
This is why I have no friends.
The goose looks worried by this machine.
In the United States this thing was all the hype just a couple of years ago.
"Who remembers the corona man?" The year is now 2020, and the world is now suffering for not heeding the words of the wise prophet Ashens.
The year is now 2021. The world is still suffering. Never fail to heed the warnings of Ashens...
@@burnzy2639 The year is now 2022. Nothings changed.
Ryan sounds a lot like Cousin Dan. What an excellent coincidence!
Ryan AKA Cousin Dan same man.
Andrew Whitney that was the joke you silly sausage
Matthew Kempf I think you mean coinciDANce
I heard that after this he got involved in crime as a getaway driver for a heist for a legendary arcade game
I actually got a Sodastream for Christmas and I am actually enjoying this. We actually prepped it the way you did in the video and how the instructions told us to do it and the taste is night and day. Putting the flavor in before carbonating the water kills the flavor...and if you don't wait, it will cause a great volcanic effect. Following the instructions and it actually tastes quite nice.
I still enjoy the video and the rest of your videos, Ashens. I'm tempted to try some of the other flavors out there.
I'm watching two guys drink crappy sodas. What am I doing with my life?
Your supposed to put the bubbles in the water before adding the syrup. And you can add more gas, I usually add way more than three short bursts. You keep adding gas until it makes a distinctive noise, that sounds like a fart.
^yes
That is a lot of CO2 gas.
YAAASSSS >*
The Kitchen Aid version doesn't "buzz" or fart... it whistles.
Listen to this man ^
As the years go by and I revisit old videos it’s so nice to see a return of "The Goose".
Truly a legend among legends.
It would be funny that if at the pause at 12:27. . .
Ashens just dropped the glass on the floor, and then we hear a loud thud of a body hit the floor also.
and then Ryan is just standing there muttering:
"Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?!!!!!!!"
Corrona man is going to be Boris Johnsons new nickname.
watching this in 2020... calling him the "corona man" takes on such a weird connotation, lol
So, it's his fault.
Ikr
Fuck off you're boring
@@BodywiseMustard ?
Corona man making the surprise comeback
1 2 litre bottle of shop's own brand pop: 59p
A bottle of Sodastream syrup that makes 7 bottles: £8.99p
I feel like im eavesdropping on someones gay date
I think the main draw of a SodaStream is putting your own flavors in it. You can buy better-quality cola syrup, or juice concentrate, or even make your own syrup.
Haha that goose made me so happy!
He originally showed it in his Easter special video 2013.
cutemimi25 Thanks, Captain Obvious.
Thestankfish AKA Doge Sure thing, but Cosmo Wattis might've not noticed.
Your video presentations are better than most stuff on TV these days, and certainly more so than Sky! Many thanks!
This is my second time watching this and I noticed THE GOOSE is watching over the proceedings.
He knows...
When we had a sodastream we just used normal fruit cordial/squash and fizzed it up.
Also nice Londo Mollari B5 figurine you have there.
Thanks op guy from 3 years ago for reminding me of babylon 5 it's been a long time since I last seen that programme and I am gonna go watch it from the beginning again right now.
I have it on the good authority of Gary Hendersen, who was 10 when I was 8 and lived round the corner, that if you put an already-fizzy drink in a Soda Stream, it will blow your house up.
I still have one. It's good for carbonating or re-carbonating drinks. The flavor mixes are iffy though.
I haven't any kids, but I just brought one home for myself, and I'd definitely inflict it on my kids if I had one... I got three bottles of the flavor mixes (root beer, Dr. Pete, and orange), but haven't touched them yet: I've been having too much fun carbonating everything else that comes to mind - Kool-Ade lemonade carbonated isn't half bad! I'll try recarbonating the flat bottle of tonic I opened months ago and forgot about later. Can't wait to try some home-made root beer, cream soda, and sarsaparilla with all-natural ingredients, I'm trying to think of a way of doing home-made ginger-ale, and I'm curious about carbonated coffee, tea, and wine (home-made champagne?) This thing's a hoot!
Personally, I think cream soda is my favorite flavor of soda just because it's the one that always tastes different depending on who made it. I feel like no 2 brands of cream soda taste quite the same.
I agree completely, sadly the sodastream one tastes nothing of creme
Benjamin Edwards It tastes like someone poured vanilla extract into water
Yeah locally theres three Soda breweries that make cream and all of them are different (color taste) but White birch beer and cream have to be my favorites
Duncan Van Ooyen Huh. Care to explain why most cream soda I've had has a nice flavor the first sip, then it gradually declines to "meh"? Not sure if it's a common thing about cream soda or I'm drinking a bootlegged brand. :P
TheArnoldification Good cream soda is rich and sweet, and it can be a bit too strong drank quickly. As someone who drinks and eats things very quickly all at once, I sip cream soda very slowly. A couple brands that I favor are Stewarts and Boyland. I generally find the brown, caramel colored ones to be best, and some clear ones are decent. Stay away from that pink shit though.
4:30 You've probably already been corrected at least once about this, but you always carbonate the water first, then pour the syrup into the already-carbonated water. You don't carbonate already mixed up water and syrup for the exact point you made. You don't want this splattered all over your kitchen. And incidentally, you only want to carbonate chilled water. It holds the carbonation in and soda is always better cold anyway.
Oh, and the point to Sodastream makers is not to buy Sodastream's lackluster syrup. You buy it to create your own unique sodas using other flavoring ingredients. For example, coconut flavoring and liquid sweetener makes for a fairly awesome coconut soda. I dare you to run out and find that in your local store.
lol two English men saying "Cheers!" really made my day for some odd reason... It just sounds so British! (I know, I have no life...)
I'd received one of these as a gift. I don't care for soda, but often make my own sparkling water, rather than buying bottles, mix it with cranberry juice and maybe vodka and lime juice, or just drink as is. You don't need to put it in the dishwasher, as you aren't supposed to put the syrup in the bottle.
Also, you needn't dispose of the canister. Just have it refilled at a sporting goods store which refills paintball tanks, and continue to use the machine for practically nothing. It's actually a huge money saver. Love the Flanders reference.
BEHOLD THE GOOSE STRIKES BACK
this is from the 70's? they were selling these as if they were new a few years ago
“Who remembers the corona man!”
That one didn’t age quite so well…

"Don't worry... There is plenty of time for something grotesque to come along!"
Stuart Ashen - 2013
Ha!
You're meant to fizz the water first, then put the syrup in (look at the side of the syrup bottle).
I think he's said before in the comments (back before youtube fucked the comment system) that it doesn't actually matter what order you do it in, it just says that because if you do the fizz first then you don't have to clean the syrup off the nozzle.
@@_lucyfree 9 years later (sorry). Apparently it's because the CO cannot cling as well to flavored mixtures compared to regular water.
Other possible advertising slogans for SodaStream:
"The drinks it makes taste horrible, but if you encase it in concrete it makes a fantastic boat anchor"
"Buy it now for $100 new, sell it for $0.75 at a garage sale in five years"
"SodaStream: how to ensure that you never have guests"
"Why buy the half decent store brand when you can have mediocre homemade"
"SodaStream: even your kids will hate it"
"Throw your money down the toilet, buy SodaStream"
"SodaStream: guaranteed to traumatize your cat every time you use it"
"Get fizzed with SodaStream....because we'll soak you in every other way possible"
Get fizzed on ,By sodastream
25 liters of Soda fizz later Ashens urin looked like a rainbow!
"Who remembers the Corona Man?"
He's still here.
I mean, you could just get a job at a fast food place and steal those big boxes of soda syrup from the back.
I could you are so smart I am going to do that
8:50 who heard him say, "my favorite sofa"
To add to the list of slogans, it seems that the newest one is "SodaStream: Because fuck plastic bottles." Seriously, that's the slogan used to end the newest adverts.
Joe Homer I've seen it a couple of times lol
Just wanted to leave a note of THANKS! (seriously, no sarcasm!) When you said "Looks like an old man's catheter(?) tube" it reminded me of what my Fathers' tube looked like as he was dying... yep... NEVER gonna get me a soda stream... that and watching you make it was horrifying... :D
On a happier note, you should say thanks to MyVirginKitchen cause he keeps mentioning you in his "Secret vlog" and every time I thought "I wonder if its that same ashens who makes the interesting videos I don't watch anymore..." Finally looked you up again, and WOO! Having and Ash-a-thon now :D (Also, I promise to never say "ash-a-thon" ever again... that was dorky.)
Aren't you supposed to add the syrup on after carbonating the eater?
+SkryZr - It doesn't matter at all for the flavour. It's just in the instructions because the sugar in the syrup can start blocking the CO2 nozzle if you don't properly clean it after.
+ethan ethan stop talking like that you dumb fuck.
+Old School Geezer y i h8 u
+Sunny Wu YES HE DID IT WRONG
Yes, if you do it before, the bottle will explode no lie
I have a great idea for these...skip the water and the flavor packs and make carbonated gin!
12:49 makes me fucking laugh so much. Silence and then suddenly 'no'.
Aiko
what's ya profile pic?
David Martinez anime girl
so glad im being recommended old ashens videos
Why didn't you carbonate milk?!
Because it esssplodes!
TheWookiedan I watched videos of people carbonating milk, and apparently it is disgusting!
I did it as a child and it went everywhere :D
I really like milk, and I have one of these, and was curious about what that would taste like...
vY Frostyy Yv
I found elsewhere that it is disgusting.
I want to put milk in it
weeseet thats wat she said ;)

Kind of weird to see Ryan years before barshens was even a twinkle in their eyes
Benny Boi You mean Cousin Dan? lol
ok but did you guys know that when he says "Who remembers the Corona Man?" it didn't age well?
oop-
Why is this phrased like a fun fact post lol
If someone bought this and had never tried soda beforehand, they'd likely enjoy it.
very true
And who are these people who haven't tried fizzy drinks but want to own a Sodastream?
Cameron Ferguson
There are people in this world who liked Gordon Brown. Anything can happen
I love that fucking goose.
I do, as well. I want to see more of it.
he steals the show
I thought he said it had to live in a special lead lined box
After Barshens it’s nice to see the earlier version of Ashens and Cousin Dan.
