Yeah, I really like the diet orange flavor. The energy drinks are good, too.

Yeah been meaning to check out the energy drink stuff (i think that's where I could actually save money).


I admire your sense of adventure with socks Araysar, but I feel I am a boring man who only wears black and tan socks (no white!!)

Socks are the only part of wardrobe where its OK to be whimsical pretty much regardless of what else you're wearing.

You could wear a $2,000 suit with striped blue socks.

I think the problem is that pics of clothes just sitting around never do them justice. You really have to see it all put together like this pic of Aray to get a good feel for just how good it really looks.

Sean, you dont even leave the house.

Where would you wear those boots, much less hiking boots, unless you were hiking to a gamestop 50 miles away to stand in line for a midnight sale?

I would like to know how many sodastream users have refilled their proprietary co2 canisters more than twice.

FWIW, if you're really looking to save on soda, you can put together a DIY fountain setup with a real CO2 canister that you can refill at a welding shop for a fraction of the price of the sodastream gizmo and then buy bulk syrup for a fraction of the price of sodastream syrup and it's the real shit (Coke, Pepsi, etc). Enough Syrup to make 30 gallons of Coke is like$75 at Sam's Club. You can fill a 5 lb c02 canister for $15 which will last almost forever vs. the same price for a 15 ounce Sodastream refill.

That's really cool, but if I had something that looked like that sitting on my kitchen counter, people would think I was cooking meth

You can get an adapter for the soda stream and get them refilled anywhere as well.

You will use that SodaStream for like a week or two, then realize the shit is just easier to buy from the fuckin store.

I've had mine for a year now and I use it every day.

I just like straight up fizzywater. It's cheaper than my previous year's Perrier/Pellegrino addiction.

LOL

Araysar, You are wearing a 2k suit, and you would really consider wearing ANY of those socks? I am so far from being a fashion expert it isn't funny. Black/blue/white socks. That's it. Then again, I have never been called whimsical.

My boots. I buy nothing but Timbs. No buckles or straps. Just boots. Now I have every reasonable color of said Timbs...Just to make sure I can match the occasion. Work? Brown Timbs. Play? Darker brown Timbs. Need to silently kill the ex? Black Timbs.

I jumped on the Sodastream bandwagon a year ago and I'm ashamed to admit that after a few months it disappeared into the closet, never to be seen again. If any of you want one PM me and you can have mine for free lol.. After awhile it just wasn't worth the hassle.. In concept you figure you'll be saving money and trips to the store, but in reality it costs almost as much as off the shelf soda, doesn't taste as good, and in the end it's probably more hassle than trips to the store anyways. First off you have to be stocked up on the syrups, then you have to have enough 1L expensive "proprietary" bottles so you aren't making soda every day, and of course you have to stay on top of the gas canister exchanges.. After a few months of ordering syrups, exchanging canisters, rinsing plastic bottles, cleaning up dripped syrup, and fetching/storing the Sodastream every few days, an epiphany hit-- I was still going to the grocery store just as often, I just wasn't lifting a case of Sprite into my trunk anymore.. Ultimately, 20% savings off of regular soda and a 10% reduction in bicep usage when doing groceries wasn't enough to offset the hassle of dealing with the Sodastream..
