What kind? I want one.
Sodastream.
I'm definitely getting one. Been putting it off, but this may be the time.
A year and a half ago, I bought one of these for my 2-3 can a day diet Coke drinking Dad. He used it for about 6 months, and then went back to his canned sodas. He didn't like the taste of those syrups. I used it for a while just to have carbonated water on hand, but I didn't use it enough to warrant the counter space.
My boyfriend and I have thought about getting one... I'm hesitant because I don't want the syrup/carbonated water combination to taste like knock-off generic brand soda. How is the taste in comparison to the brand name sodas?0 -
It's one of those things that I can go a very long time without. I'll have a few sips when I feel like it, but drink mostly water.0

My Dad never did find a syrup that tasted as good as it did from the can, generic is probably a good description. Others may have a different experience though. He even tried different flavors, but they just didn't do it for him. Also, depending on how often you use it, you will have to periodically replace the CO2 bottle. Just wasn't worth it to us.0 -

I've had the flu the past two weeks. I've been hitting the diet ginger ale pretty hard lately.0

I haven't drank soda for over 5 years and i feel so much better. When i was a kid i would drink about 4 cans a day.0

I like diet soda - a can about once a week. I won't go out of my way to buy it in large amounts and keep it in the house though. Prefer zero vitamin water or perrier.0

The last time I can remember having any was about two weeks ago when went out for drinks with a co-worker and had a Baccardi and Seven. I can go several months without drinking any soda though. Once got rid of the 2 liter a day habit I used to have, I lost my taste for it. I have to be really thirsty and even then I usually will just have a little bit of Ginger Ale.0

I haven't drunk soda for... years. Gave it up about 3 years ago, can't bear the taste now. Won't drink the diet versions, as aspartame does weird things to me. Don't miss it.0

I've never been one to drink soda everyday but I haven't had any at allsince September. I decided it was a step towards getting my weight under control by cutting it completely. I may make an exception tonight for a root beer float! And maybe for mixed drinks sometime soon.0

I no longer drink my calories, and have not drank soda for about a year! The last time I drank soda, the carbonation hurt my throat and it was really, really too sweet for my liking anymore. It's crazy what our bodies will adjust to...0

Virtually never drink soda. We may buy a bottle for family dinners at special holidays, but that is it. For us and our kids it is a treat, and a rare one at that, not a staple.0

I don't really drink soda, I don't like it that much. Years ago used to drink diet coke, but now I think it tastes disgusting.
I drink lemonade if I'm ill, for some reason it helps!0 -
I drink around 3 or 4 cans of Pepsi Mac or Coke zero per week - about the same amount I used to drink in regular sodas pre trying to lose weight.
I have no problems from this whatsoever so no plans to change.
Although I might sometimes go a week or so without any, just works out that way, no reason.0 -
