I have been toying with getting a soda stream for a bit.... we drink quite a bit of fizzy pop, so I'm wondering whether it would make sense to get one, especially since they got loads of new flavours!

I'm loving just water with bubbles at the moment - but yep, the cream soda is on my list

We were never allowed one! Wanted one badly though!

Now THAT brings back memories!

We had the weekly visit of the Alpine Man! Remember him? Or was it just oop north?

Cream soda & ginger beer were the best flavours,but they never retained fizz like commercial bottled stuff does

We've still got a couple of those under the stairs

ones Soda Stream 101 and the others a Kenwood Cascade bought them in the 70's or 80's but can't remember when we last used them.

You probably have a couple of sale opportunities above BIP

We had a "pop man" Newton, my how those lads could run rattling their bottles. We also had a soda stream that was a present from my mum, but I think the boys broke it. That's very swish Piskie.

We had the Corona lemonade guy. In the hols, we spent ages collecting empty bottles to get back the deposit on them to buy sweets. Let's get Fizzycal.........

I had a Soda Stream in the nineties, but the concentrates weren't cheap then, and we always used far too much. The older two children were once caught pouring cherryade concentrate over their icecream!

We had the pop man too. I think he had a red lorry and we kids would rush out trying to decide what to have. Dandelion and burdock is still one of my favourites.

We had a sodastream but to be honest it was more fun to use than to drink the product, nothing ever really tasted very nice - it's probably why I drink mainly water these days
