A fizzy machine

I may not be old enough for fizzy drinks, but mami and daddy sure are!

You should have seen all of the excitement at our house this weekend after mami and I were asked to test out a special machine that makes fizzy drinks called the Soda Stream. Daddy couldn't believe we hadn't discovered this sooner.


"This is amazing" he said, and he set it up in the kitchen and let me help with the preparations.

I am usually not allowed in there, but today for this special occasion the baby gate they usually patrol so closely was opened up and I was allowed in. I even got to wear my special apron. Yesss!

We had so many choices that we didn't know where to start!

First daddy filled the container with water, then he twisted it to fit into the machine and together we pressed the button and a bunch of little bubbles appeared in the water!

I started to clap because it was so funny to see the water swooshing everywhere. He did it one more time and even more came out!

See the bubbles?!

Mami then set up the different flavours for us to try. We had Mango-Apple, Orange, Cranberry-Raspberry, Lemon Lime and Passionfruit-Mango.

I tried the Lemon-Lime and it felt funny in my nose! So I handed the drink over to mami and she made sure to try all of them for me.

Mami's favourite is the Cranberry-Raspberry (no surprise there, daddy I suspected it would be her number once choice) and daddy liked the traditional Orange but said his second choice was Mango-Apple.


Mami and daddy made sure to try each one

"Aaaaah" he said after drinking it "this is so much better than buying sparking water or drinks at the store. Saves us to much money."

"Mmmm" said mami as she read the ingredients of the flavours. I could tell she was concentrating on the words. "Oh look, it says they do not have any artificial flavours, sweeteners or colours. Good huh?"

That's me trying the Lemon-Lime!

I tell you, Soda Stream has made my mami and daddy two very happy people. Plus, each one of these Soda Stream machines has a gas cylinder (that's where the bubbles are kept) that make up to 60 litres of liquid  - and that's a whole lot of fizzy drinks!


Daddy said the Mango and Apple was "crisp"

It was the first time all three of us were in the kitchen and when our friends came over that evening, daddy was telling them where they could get one (and he did another demonstration).

"Yeah, they have them at John Lewis, Comet, Argos, Robert Dyas (he loves that place), Lakeland and some Asda Stores or you can go online to their site, sodastream.co.uk".

So, thank you very very much Soda Stream. I just hope my mami and daddy let me back into the kitchen!
