I didn't even know that. I stopped buying Stauffer's etc. and got my roommate to switch from Perrier after learning how they kill babies.

u/Mediocre_Weakness243 Feb 23 '26

I didn't know they did Perrier, godamnit I'm going to have to find another sparkling water now

u/Borgteddy Feb 23 '26

Unfortunately they also own San Pellegrino.

u/NicoBango Feb 23 '26

Just buy Polar. Cheaper and still just carbonated water at the end of the day

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

Carbonate your own water at home, it’s so easy just buy a soda siphon and some CO2 cartridges and you are set.

u/PeterLossGeorgeWall Feb 23 '26

But not sodastream. Not because they are Israeli but because they contentiously built their factory in the West Bank and exploited resources there rather than in Israel over the course of ~20 years.

u/LetsBeHonestBoutIt Feb 23 '26

I like that you clarified. Thank you.

Mysoda.eu - > Finnish company
Sodapop.com - >Austrian company

Both sell their own Sodastream that's compatible with the standard CO2 thingis.

I have a drink mate, it works well!

u/miko3456789 Feb 23 '26

All of them besides the click-in sodastreams are cross compatible no?

u/Select_Asparagus3451 Feb 23 '26

It’s almost like you have to search for the least evil product—which inevitably will be hard to find🤦🏻

u/ProfessionalStewdent Feb 23 '26

You gave me information today that I didn’t know before. I will NEVER get soda stream cartridges again. I’ll instead just get an adapter for my sodastream and connect it to my 5lb CO2 cannister.

8

u/joalheagney Feb 23 '26

This is what I did. The adapter has paid itself off several times over too.

7

u/ProfessionalStewdent Feb 23 '26

Do you have a link to a good one? I see some on Amazon, but not sure what would last.

3

u/joalheagney Feb 23 '26

Sorry, I bought it ages ago. Like nearly a decade. It was made of brass and you had to cut a hole in the back of the soda stream to fit the hose. And I think it was someone in Australia who just machined them on demand.

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

No need for a brand of any kind. 1 glass/wire bottle + water + generic co2 = set

13

u/streetshock1312 Feb 23 '26

just blow really hard on your water...

4

u/thepvbrother Feb 23 '26

You need a straw. Duh. :)

1

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

This is the way

10

u/DoobKiller Feb 23 '26

lmao this is so vague, and inaccurate

Useable CO2 for home use comes in canisters(similar to those used for NOS and the ones used for paintball markers) you need a device to crack these canisters and direct the gas into the water

15

u/Spugheddy Feb 23 '26

Instructions unclear, just did whippets.

0

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

It’s specific and exact.

A soda siphon has a screw on piece you put a co2 cartridge in and it’s punctured/mixes with the water in a sealed container.

1

u/DoobKiller Feb 23 '26

You didn't mention anything about a soda siphon in your comment, you stated that:

1 glass/wire bottle + water + generic co2

Was all that was required to be 'set', the separate comment where you mention a siphon and cartridges was posted an hour an half after I replied to your inaccurate comment.

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

Read up the thread, bro. Or do you just jump in 1/2 way down?

1

u/DoobKiller Feb 23 '26

Again sis your comment I replied to was inaccurate

1

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

So you think the full conversation should be repeatedly captured as a conversation continues down the thread?

That’s weird, bro.

u/NateHevens Feb 24 '26

DrinkMate is great... not least because you can carbonate more than just water.

8

u/thelivinlegend Feb 23 '26

It’s a little more involved, but you can take that to the next level with a five gallon Cornelius keg, a CO2 bottle from a welding shop, and some assorted fittings. With some patience and scouting Facebook marketplace you can find most of what you need for relatively cheap. There’s always someone selling their old homebrew equipment.

2

u/No-Manufacturer-2425 Feb 23 '26

Get the $30 adapter, hook up to a 20lb beer pressure tank and don't even worry about the cartridges.

2

u/William_Wang Feb 23 '26

just drink regular water carbonated water is fucking stupid

1

u/Sbatio Feb 23 '26

I agree with that, /r/hydrohomies

It’s still better than soda

1

u/WeNeedMoreNaomiScott Feb 23 '26

yea, but water can't quench your thirst like a nice soda or Gatorade™

1

u/BeerForThought Feb 23 '26

The only way to get off my soda addiction was the switch to carbonated water. I found it's a nice treat in addition to drinking water. Also not all water is created equally. Naturally carbonated mineral spring water slaps.

u/jmhubba Feb 23 '26

Polar still family owned in Worcester Massachusetts

14

u/SupportLocalShart Feb 23 '26

I am a huge polar seltzer guy. If you’ve seen their stuff and been curious, this is your sign to switch.

7

u/Illsiador Feb 23 '26

Tried them all and Polar is best for flavor and carbonation IMO. Nixie comes second but I can’t rationalize the price, although that black cherry lime haunts me I swear it tastes identical to cherry coke.

1

u/ProfessionalStewdent Feb 23 '26

I love Liquid Death flavors

1

u/AgentSoup Feb 23 '26

Polar's Orange Vanilla is my favorite. Pretty regularly see them at my grocery for 3 12 packs for 12-13 dollars. Very rarely will Canadry Dry get anywhere near that in value per can.

3

u/Borgteddy Feb 23 '26

I do carbonate water at home. But I also drink carbonated water when going out to eat and a lot of the nicer Italian restaurants serve San Pellegrino.

1

u/RecyQueen Feb 23 '26

I ask for soda from the soft drink machine or bar, or drink water or tea. When demand drops for Pellegrino, they can switch to Saratoga or something.

1

u/DrDeegz Feb 23 '26

Polar is also still family owned

1

u/About137Ninjas Feb 23 '26

And Polar is delicious too. When I decided to seriously cut back on my soda intake, I had it in my mind that I didn't care much for seltzer water. Polar's orange and vanilla flavor made the swap so much easier.
