What is SodaStream?
This is the brand name of carbonation systems for home use. They were invented in the early 1900s to add carbon dioxide (CO2) to drinking water. At that time these were called “apparatus for aerating liquids”. The more recent versions allow for incorporating flavored concentrates and before you realize it – you’ve got homemade carbonated, flavor drink or soda pop.
The initial machines made were rather large and were sold to the larger households from the upper classes of London, like the royal household. There were flavors with unusual names, one being the famous sarsaparilla introduced while in the 1920s. The commercial carbonation machines were also introduced from the 1920s and were very well liked. The first smaller machines for home carbonation was produced in 1955.
Because of so many types of concentrate, different and exclusive flavors of soft drinks can be made. In the times when the systems were most favored, many well-known brands were available for SodaStream in the concentrate such as Fants, and Sunkist.
During the early 1990s, the business merged with Soda-Club and it has since relaunched using a marketing plan targeted more towards overall health or healthiers drink for kids or families.
Now there are considerable competing brands of soda concentrate for SodaStream. Aromhuset as is the Premium mark along with their Zero (sugar free) series taste like they was sugar sweetened. Take a look on their Zero Indian Tonic at amazon England.
The SodaStream drink maker features a canister with CO2 that is pushed into water which makes water fizzy. The total product features a machine, co2 canister, and several reusable drink bottles especially designed for pressurizing. After filling a bottle with water, you screw it on the machine, push a control button, and make sparkling water. Carbonated sparkling water is also known as seltzer water. There are very different flavors of concentrated syrups which allows the user to generate regular or diet pop (or soft drinks). When the canister is empty, you return it and buy a whole new canister of CO2.
The buzz on the SodaStream during the 70s and 80s in the United Kingdom and currently are associated with nostalgia for all those time periods. The advertising best tonic jingle in 1970 was “get busy with the fizzy” and was so very well liked, that the slogan was added to their logo. It was finally dropped in 1996 after 17 years.
MilkStream is a machine made by the same company for making milkshakes. You simply add milk, ice cream and syrup inside a tall glass, insert into the machine and a wand extends into the tall glass to whip up a foaming, delicious milkshake.
