SodaStream Fizzy Drinks Maker | Ashens

hello this week on the I didn't know they still made these files SodaStream if you're not familiar with SodaStream it's something that appeared in the 70s and became popular throughout that decade in the early 80s in England at least and the idea is to save money on buying expensive fizzy drinks you make your own at home and the SodaStream provides the fees through the massively technical achievement of having a big canister of carbon dioxide and you press a button and it shoots some carbon dioxide out of there into the bottle full of drink you've made and of course SodaStream also sell the drinks to make which is like a soft cordial arrangement where you get a bottle of stuff and you measure it out in the cap and then put it in the bottle and then fill the bottle with water and it makes a kind of fizzy and frankly fairly disappointing cheap tasting soft drink mm-hmm one of those things your dad would bring home and you try it and he'd take once we can go yeah that's great we never have to buy those expensive soft drinks again it's just as good and he's lying through his teeth and within a week it's disappeared onto a shelf in the back of a cupboard and is never seen again anyway let's look at the parts the bottle first since that's in the way yep you have to make at least one liter of the drink these days I'm sure we used to get these interesting spiral twisty designed glass bottles but nope one big plastic thing these days will fairly immense capacity and unfortunate of course it tends to go flat after a relatively short period so I hope you want a liter of whatever it is you're making and the cardinal sin can't put it in the dishwasher no excuse for that folks well apart from the fact is got multiple parts and has to deal with pressure but that's not the point right the SodaStream itself as you will see is the simplest system imaginable push the top down and yes it sprays some co2 on a sofa or into the drip tray as is probably more accurate if I was to take the top off this it's only sure how one does that actually do at some point there we up you can see it is literally a big cylinder of carbon dioxide which you can then take out and illegally get rid of on the side of a road or something when it's empty any go yeah I'm gonna back in that he's back in I forgot there was a ridge hose so does stream you are a 1 and what are the drinks like well that is of course the important question the thing is none of them are officially licensed so SodaStream have to come up with their own interesting takes on favorite soft drinks yes as you may have noticed rather than Dr Pepper they have dr. Pete which somehow sounds a little bit less professional dr. Peter so misunderstood as my he was struck off the medical register for a sexually harrassing a female patient anyway it will make 12 liters of sparkling drink with this goop inside mmm dr. pepper eat well vaguely of course these days the whole point of this is kind of moot because you can buy supermarket own brand soft drinks for basically no money whatsoever and in fact the SodaStream comes up as a fairly expensive version which is a shame plus I miss an old drink they used to make called witch's brew which was like a weird green fruit flavoured drink I can't remember what it tasted like and they haven't made it for eleventy billion years so I'll probably never find it again oh well it's probably nestling similar than old can of Quattro anyway the whole point is taste let's go and test this thing point right let's make some fizzy guff starting with dr. Pete mmm right here's what you do you get a liter of water in the special high pressurized safe bottle which you can't put in the dishwasher you take one capful of this terrifying ellipse yeah oh my goodness it's like all the dr. pepper in the world condensed and one capful kind of wish i had start pulling this over the floor now but nope we're safe and in we ah so exciting it's already created something that looks like the contents of an old man's catheter bag so that's going to be something to look forward to and put the kid on shaky-shaky Wow it's like Tom Cruise in cocktail I'm never there that Australian go mmm if you like your doctor Pete flat you're already there but we don't the whole reason we're here it's for SodaStream in we go there we are simply screw it into the slot and now give three short bursts that was burst number one that was burst number three I'm doing them out of order to mix things up and there we go it's best to leave it a few seconds now unless you like getting dr. Pete's splattered over the entire kitchen and your face right let's left that for a little bit and hopefully will not now explode everywhere I'm still gonna do it slowly just in case I'm not real right there we are an entire liter of refreshing dr. Pete mmm PT right I'm joined on this taste testing sensation that by Ryan who is somewhat more acclimatized to very weird soft drinks than I am so he might be less fussy and give a more overall perspective of it I'm just going to like everything on purpose good luck Cheers well the fizz works and yeah that yeah it tastes like cheap dr. pepper ripoff really as you'd expect you can't say more than that yeah it's a little bit like water it's not really mmm let me when you poured in a really unnerving I just know that tar yeah I've got a treat for you the end actually bear that in mind brilliant like it's Minnesota strings and tar some yeah we'll get on to that anyway there's an impetus to watch to the end yeah that's that's alright I suppose just a cheap clump to peps slightly after tasty and it just tastes like the store-brand stuff done yeah Tesco's own brand Saenz reserves grand family other supermarkets are available I don't know why I've said that I'm not the BBC I'd say I like Waitrose is there you go right time for the next drink along extreme energy look look stream see what they did that hello there so clever the hair but this is lovely I would know if this is a proper energy drink or just something that tastes like an energy looks like something you'd like the protein in a protein shake or something you'd clean out a drain with maybe here it says contains caffeine in big letters so maybe but sugar fructose dextrose and sweeteners it's basically its sweetness in a water just made them up you know there are things that I think are real but just stuff we found a meteorite yeah this will be good for the case yeah it looks there's a piss line it does all apple juice has been around too long it smells of energy drink vaguely yeah like a really cheap one mmm cheers Cheers it was all right here tastes of a very cheap energy drink quite full of sweetness mmm take that I'm getting the sweetener aftertaste now it's not horrible but yeah you'd want to rinse your mouth afterwards I think it's a problem with the sweetness I would say similar to the dr. Pete anyway next next on the agenda pink grapefruit which is the same color as the counter hmm also slightly work if your urine looks like this by the way consult a medical professional immediately don't drink right that's actually quite nice yeah there's not my favorite though I think I prefer the other two to be honest well it's my favorite so far it tastes more like lemonade than pink grapefruit them a little bit like pink lemonade yeah Matt is probably why pink grapefruit there's the connection and now I yeah I would say more lemonade than grapefruit mmm that's what you mean it's nicer I like it I like that it gets a thumbs up no the other one so next up lemon lime not lemon and lime lemon lime it's like 7up or sprite or some lemon and lime in water that's physically well it just looks like water yeah that really is just really cheap 7up I can see a theme develop in here to be honest yeah yeah it's basically unknown supermarket at the end of your roads your known brand yes I don't know I think little bit probably do better man mmm oh no that's really that that's the worst one yeah I think it just tastes of cheap cheap in liquid form hardly any flavor to either it's just that little citrusy kick yes Charlie citrus kick followed by a lot of sweeteners mmm next Apple fizzy apple drink juice remember if it's clear and yellow you've got juice there fella if it's tangy and brown you're quoting from The Simpsons but what fizzy apple drinks are there appetizer I think oh yes Apple now you have three four that's proper apple juice no that's nice it's a rapid tango still yeah think so hmm oh dear well there's a very hint of Apple at the start then it hits Chemical City you know it sort of smells like a cross between dr. P in the extreme stuff it does and it tastes like water and chemicals so I think this is the stuff that Joker fell into in Batman hmm no that is getting a big they've met no that is not going to be sold in any quantity cuz I'm a bit disappointment because nothing's been extremely horrible but now it's been extremely nice sort of that really boring lead you it is really a little don't worry there's plenty of time something grotesque to come along time for a little classic tonic water non forward to SR you're not a fan of tonic water no it's a very bitter drink and it smells of just water and looks of just water hmm does it taste of just water there is a oh no oh no you're enjoying that you know it tastes like the young stuff you've done this puts in your house oh it's horrible mmm weird of the kick in the back ear throwing no low will be hmmm this is what it kind of doesn't taste of tonic water at first you just get the tonic water aftertaste it does taste of mutton medicine it's just horrible it's not even it just oh god don't worry let's have a gin and tonic with this quality brew ahh Wow guard even wise dum dum dum what could possibly go wrong with this chef excellence juice if you don't oh my god something's at the door to stop me my god a parcel delivery Lily saved me but I'm gonna try the world's worst gin and tonic if you die can I have your channel no oh oh my god yeah that's that's so rough it's unbelievable oh it has its unscheduled ingredients hello means how was it house how long was the gin I dread to think it's got the old Tesco label on it smells better with the gin in it yep I'm tasty bloody bear no not at all right then it had to happen sometime generic Cola but as generic as it gets I reckon what smells of coke I guess smell of like the top the tuckshop drink and it tastes of really cheap coal of a just tastes of sugar and not much else oh no there's definitely that one the Panda pop one yeah that is not good that is on the very bottom rung of coldest I think what you get over the age of 90 or become immune to that yeah sort of starts to taste really bad and now getting the chemical aftertaste as well hooray oh man I'm dreading the diet one which is next and now diet cola cuz the original color was so good and wasn't watered down enough mmm I smell it just smells really worried if that's possible if you get one mean oh my goodness I've had some bad diet cola in my time I just even tasted anything it's just fizzy like murky fizzy water that is really bad there isn't even hardly a chemical after it's just nothing to I'm not impressed by that song this is even worse than the dark coke my sister buzz oh boy that's my mum admit admit that that diet coke is too W of a drunk that diet coke yes you get by the gallon and that's why you've got rid of stevia and that's really cutting my face has just eroded off my old Peter K routine isn't it either mums by the worst pop all that is rank anyway this that's like sub Panda pop level let's go and I'll sink when it's horrible the 40 gallons or other stuff we've already stuck taxi and now dandelion and burdock which if you haven't heard of it is like a traditional English drink that's really horrible I hate that deployment burdock what do you think of it it's all right I don't mind I try it the first time the other week and I didn't think it was anything good as I massively prejudiced against us oh this one smells a bit away though yeah smells are licorice licorice yeah licorice plans which is probably literally what it is hmm oh god no oh that's not the dangling belicoff god that's awful it's like a mixture of root beer and really cheap cough medicine Travon oh good luck the old if it smells like the really cheap Tesco chocolate licorice you can buy oh I've got this aftertaste and it's like I've been chewing on an old tea bag ah oh it's like when you drink your shirt off it's not too bad but the aftertaste is like that is a hauling death to dandelion and burdock what even is burdock I don't know um howling mad burdock I in some sort of plant who wants to eat the Handy line to sort of dandelion thought we need to mash that up and drink some of it yeah but it's not very nice at all no zero at ten for that bugger orange fizzy orange orange a hey nice and simple hmm does it smell of orange yes it does we're the nicest smelling ones we've had that's actually really good and just tastes of nothing again just a slight tang to it this isn't yes like really cheap orange aged from the early 80s which is my time yes many years before you were born Hill rivers the corona man nobody hmm no this is not too bad but I don't know there's no taste to it then the aftertaste isn't great um it's the sort of like the pattern really it's just there's nothing nothing to it yeah may as well have fizzy water and at least it won't rot your teeth was disappointing oh good lord it's cream soda don't be like that I hate cream soda love it my least-favorite it's like fizzy phlegm hasn't put you off know what will well seem interests you like it and I don't I really do like Rinka I know the smell is or vanilla recalls god you're such a wimp stirrer Oh Kars GI just tastes like water that's hardly any this place the fizz gone that's weird yeah I'm ready flat hmm that's how the only flippers because I let you press the button you've ruined everything so that's the last time we get involved oh don't mind I'm gonna stroke you despite you to Rihanna oh it's awful I can't tell you if that's any better or worse than normal cream soda to be fun well I can say it is a lot worse because it's not even fizzy it's just like rusty water rusty water that's all the corn cream soda yeah but not quite like that one to each his own I don't know if you can hear this I think the cherry a is about to explode like he's trying to talk to us don't drink me unabled Wow cherry ade I haven't had that for about 15 years or something looks a bit like cheap wine it does it's got that sort of a Tesco own-brand Rose everything a belly just smells of the coke again the sort of the doctor PE generic smell we've had all the way through yeah generic drink smell number seven hmm lemons better Bo just tastes like squash nearly water nothing nice no real hint of cherry really but just that artificial cherry taste from I remember from the 80s let it roll ended harrybo mmm yeah it's one the better ones actually yeah hmm yeah hmm and finally on the road show of pain its blackcurrant fizzy Ribena certainly smells of the I can't squash snails of squash does it taste like squash no no very weak squash yeah those you would put too much water and rather just no flavor to anything some the first cup lights are the energy drink and the dr. Pete that was quite flavorful bears it's gone on several of them have been really watery do you think that's down to UM the fact the other two are in bottles and we put lotion lid and know that shadows done that should be the same measurement it really is disappointment that is a good point though because the ones that came from the bottle did seem stronger could be coincidence moon well well can't say I've been surprised by this result a surprise on sale ticularly impressed but I've got good news you mentioned earlier about a drink the tasted of tar okay I'm going to segue this onto the extras channel because I doesn't pollute the SodaStream you know smoke we all really treat for you now if you want to see it click there if not conclusion coming right we have rated the drinks in order of how much we like them there has been much arguing and or user recriminations you say liked more from to slightly less these the ones we hated the most were the ones we hated the least so dr. Pete extreme energy pink grapefruit cherry black counts orange lemon lime cream soda Cola diet cola halo Apple tonic and dandelion seed outcomes you like you that but that won't even be on scale be honest with you I did that was maybe the problem is I don't like cream soda you don't like tonic water yeah so we were not meant to do this together worried well if one of us has just done it would have been very unfair yeah now this is something interesting we have discovered again the ones in the bottle came first because they seem to have more flavor to them these contain 45 milliliters which our session links or 40s to you are correct 42 milliliters the meaning of life the universe and everything and bender claims to make one liter but when you use the bottle it says use a full cap to make one liter we measured a full cap and it comes in at 60 milliliters so no wonder there better tastings you've got considerably more of the thing in what are you doing SodaStream you're drunk go home well there's only one thing now to do to celebrate looks like you food here's a quick demonstration of the buzz effect that happens if you put too much squirt into it it becomes massively flat nothing just really childish you blow raspberries in me I paid money for you yeah not good money no very bad man oh hello Steamboat Willie and I think that we're all raspberry down the fat well that was fun anyway more fun than the taste of most of the drinks yeah
