When he described the product as being "one of those things your dad brings home" it was scary how accurate it was
Yeah he was entirely accurate on my part. My dad brought it home, we actually liked it though, we used it for a couple of months, but it got to expensive and now it collects dust.
Dads bringing home stuff. Thats the fun part of the day.
@Koholos Co2 from welding tanks has a little bit of oil in it not exactly ideal for drinks
My dad did a similar thing with a liquor tap, he put some whiskey in it, we tested it out with a few sips and I think he gave it away.
At least you have a dad
My dad DID buy a sodastream but he actually never stopped using it.
He is the only one that does use it though.
I'm not sure if its cause he likes it or if he's just using it out of spite now.
More like using it out of sprite. Heh.
@Bobo He's windows 98, he isn't very good

You would not survive his wit.
in a classy way- yes
lol
what is this? the beer and board games channel now?
What if Ashens is just a pair of floating arms.
I like to imagine him as arms and a face stuck to a wall in the middle of a hallway which just so happens to have a couch sitting on the other side.
Hes like casandra from dr who with arms
Yeah, post this on the one video where he actually kind of show his face.
+Nick Tripod Avdol.jpg
I would love to see the movie with him as just a pair of arms
I've unsuccessfully watched this video 3 times. Once, my iPad died, and twice, I've fallen asleep, because it was very early in the morning. I'm determined to finish it this time.
Did you this time?

The bottles look like they should have fabric softener in.
Plot twist: they do
**fabric softener in**
the taste is more or less the same i can attest
@@brookhavyn2731 lol
Had one years ago, gas bottles didn't last long and they were expensive to replace.
I usually just go to Sainsburys now, they sell 2 litre bottles of carbonated spring water for 20p! yes 20 pence. I get 5-6 bottles of those and store them. Make my own Pink Lemonade from a punnet of raspberries, lemon and orange, all boiled with sugar on the hob. This in turn makes a lovely syrup which you add to the carbonated water and voila! a healthier (compared to the likes of coca cola etc) fizzy drink.
ooh that sounds lovely, I want to try this at some point
***** It is amazing, this is the recipe I use: www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/11288/pink-lemonade
+Sirdiggar Thank you!
it's 17p at tesco
17p? that's nothing here in the USA Costco pays YOU to take them haha
If I owned a supermarket I would use the Lemon Lime from this as a knock off of Sprite and call it Shite.
😀
You could start your own Pound shop!
Or you could call it Spirte, since you misspelled Sprite.
Jehn Lennin's sanctum / yobelkcip Well shit, I didn't notice that.
Or Spite....
WOW these have come a long way. I bought one a month ago, and it's way improved, everyone in the house uses it. The bottles are dishwasher safe now, and they have officially licensed soda syrups from Pepsi and bubly. They do still lose carbonation kinda fast though.
Have Pepsi Max syrup myself, just waiting until I have a spare moment after Christmas to try it out.
"If you die, can I have your channel?"
"No."
"Oh."
"Who remembers the Corona man? Nobody." Well....
Came to make a similar joke
That delivery man knocked on your door with some ferocity... I genuinely feared for your lives...
I love that Ashens has the fucking goose in his kitchen.

Dear Dr. A... two things:
1. It would've been interesting to see how sodastreaming other beverages would've turned out - like tea, coffee, wine, fresh OJ, Frijj milkshake, soup, gravy, etc...
2. When I was about 8 or 9 (so 1985-ish) I bought a can of drink that was called something like "Chocolade". Yup, a chocolate flavoured fizzy drink (in the UK btw). It was vile! Like someone had chewed up some generic milk chocolate and spat it into a can of lemonade. Unsurprisingly I never saw it again but also I've never been able to find any reference of it on t'interweb. Maybe you can? Or maybe you don't give a toss? Just thought I'd mention it.
In 2011 around Christmas time, there was an advert for the SodaStream, filmed on a home camera where some 20 year-old guy in a Christmas sweater and Santa hat was given a present with a SodaStream inside. He started crying. Pretty much sums up this machine...
Mate, you nailed it. I don't know why it took 11 years to let you know
The funny thing is, I thought this was a NEW thing and was surprised that it was so old.
My parents had one when they were young.
I use soda stream to carbonate vodka. Works pretty well.
I use it to carbonate water it's great
Are you joking?
i used to to carbonate milk .. and pineapple juice amongst others
@@Soooperspeed mmmm soda milk.
I was hoping I was gonna find someone like you
Ryan is extremely lucky to have Stuart as his uncle.
I don't think ashens is his uncle
Well, Stuart made that comment about his sister buying cheap fizzy drinks and Ryan said: "Hey, that's my mum you're talking about," so I assumed Ryan is his nephew. Also, Stuart referred to him as 'my nephew Ryan' on another video.
Oh
Who is Ryan?
laurenisahippogriff The other person in this video.
Ryan is so lucky to have Stu as an uncle
They are not related
@@georgiajohnson682 they are lol
@@georgiajohnson682 Ryan is Stuart’s sister’s son. They literally reference it in this video.
That’s not Ryan though, that’s cousin Dan
0:57 - 1:14 is exactly what happened at my house.
I was going to comment this as well
That is also what happened to me. Except that water spewed everywhere. I haven't seen the machine since.
oh my god same here
That happened in my house when we got those homemade funnel cakes.
*raises hand* Same here.
coming from the far future, "who remembers the corona man" has a completely different context lol.
Little did ashens know that far in the future, literally every person on the planet will remember the "corona man"
that stupid twat, that ate a bat.
I was thinking that, came straight to the comments after he said it.
literally
What do you mean? I'm from the past and I don't understand.
Unless you want blow up your Soda Stream, do NOT try and make fizzy milk. I did once at my dad's - he went mental 'cause he'd only had it a day. I never did tell him it was because of my experiment...I spent a good couple of hours cleaning up and supergluing that bastard together again so as to destroy all the evidence of my exploits.
I know that for some liquids, if you just fill it half way it won't explode and leave a rather nasty mess. Did you fill it to the top?
To the top.
You are only suppose to carbonate the water, you add the mix afterward. Guy in video did it wrong as well. Hard to read 3 steps of instructions even if you're a popular youtuber I suppose.
...... Why ... would you want to make fizzy milk ?
Because it's more exciting than flat milk.
lol I loved Ashens talking about how you'd buy one of these, use it once, declare you'll never need to buy expensive real soft drinks again, and then within a week it disappears onto a shelf, because that it EXACTLY what happened to me! My parents bought something like this and exactly that thing happened!
Wait, what, this stuff is from the 70's/80's..?
There's been some minor hype about them being "new" by some stores here in germany...
+Bier “Bierbart12” Bart yeah, its also been branded as new over here in the us quite recently. (or Im just really sheltered)
Same here in Canada...
Same here in 'Murica.
+Bier „Bierbart12“ Bart I know right!
+Bier ”Bierbart12” Bart Can confirm, there was a massive campaign for these here in Finland just a few years ago. I thought that these things were actually a new innovation made just a year or so before landing in Finland.
My husband thought this was a great idea, too. It's been in our cupboard for about 5 years now! A very accurate description!
i wonder if you could use this to re-fizz normal soda
*****
as well as i think it does? i said "I wonder" not, "im 16900% positive"
*****
ok, but why? if its flat shouldn't it just work like any other liquid?
Kaptain Kappa It's NOT supposed to have the flavour in the drink while being carbonated.
They did it wrong.
It will be quite messy if you use flat softdrink.
Leaf Shade that doesn't answer my question, why is it messy? it wasn't messy for them and according to you they did it "wrong" so what makes flat soda different from flat soda stream soda?
Kaptain Kappa They waited off camera.
And with actual soft drink, basically it fizzes it up and shakes it up at the same time, resulting in a mess.
In my experience that is the case, it will erupt and leak out of the machine.
As for the exact reasoning why it behaves more volatile? I am not sure.
"mmmmm, Petey"
Ashens, 2013.
"Who remembers the Corona man?!" has aged like a fine milk.
The word Corona literally has several meanings that aren’t a virus.
Really, YT? The 2 replies this got are too scary for me to read? wth...
I want someone to take a shot of the Dr.Pepper concentrate.
A Piece Of Bread ive done it as a dare, it tastes like diabetes
I did the math on these when they first came out... its as expensive as any normal brand softdrink with maybe a .05 cent savings per oz. Its mostly in the $15 C02 can... I played painball years ago and they give you like $.50 of C02 in their canister. It was the greatest marketing idea ever though. its new age revolutionary branding "Large" looking amount of servings, and promise to bring cheap drink options to you, everyone bought it. my walmart was sold out for 3 months! these guys made bank off a well laid scam
To be honest it depends on where you live. For example, I live in Finland, where you can drink tap water, so only the syrup and the co2 will cost you. Half a liter of regular soda costs about 2 euros here, which is around $2.75. Making half a liter of Sodastream soda costs you about 0.40 euros, which is just $0.55, so it is way cheaper.
Rapsutin
it still boggles me that there are first world countries, in this era, where fucking water has to be bought from a store.
maksuree It doesn't have to be, it's just that most of them think that tap water has horrid germs or something. I've drunken it all my life and i seem to be fine.
Though depending on how you look at it, that makes bottled water even more pathetic...
we dont pay for co2 and soda stream works well and you dont use oficial flavorings
DrakeSays Gaming
Bottled water is just bottled tap water from your local water system and a 500% markup. (Maybe some filtration and a few minerals but they spend almost nothing on that.)
Your supposed to put the bubbles in the water before adding the syrup. And you can add more gas, I usually add way more than three short bursts. You keep adding gas until it makes a distinctive noise, that sounds like a fart.
^yes
That is a lot of CO2 gas.
YAAASSSS >*
The Kitchen Aid version doesn't "buzz" or fart... it whistles.
Listen to this man ^
"Unless you like getting Dr Pete splattered all over your face"
OOH, do we go to the same doctors Ashens?
The goose looks worried by this machine.
16:27 "Who remember the Corona Man ? Nobody...." Lovely bit of prescience by Stuart here.
I have it on the good authority of Gary Hendersen, who was 10 when I was 8 and lived round the corner, that if you put an already-fizzy drink in a Soda Stream, it will blow your house up.
Personally, I think cream soda is my favorite flavor of soda just because it's the one that always tastes different depending on who made it. I feel like no 2 brands of cream soda taste quite the same.
I agree completely, sadly the sodastream one tastes nothing of creme
Benjamin Edwards It tastes like someone poured vanilla extract into water
Yeah locally theres three Soda breweries that make cream and all of them are different (color taste) but White birch beer and cream have to be my favorites
Duncan Van Ooyen Huh. Care to explain why most cream soda I've had has a nice flavor the first sip, then it gradually declines to "meh"? Not sure if it's a common thing about cream soda or I'm drinking a bootlegged brand. :P
TheArnoldification Good cream soda is rich and sweet, and it can be a bit too strong drank quickly. As someone who drinks and eats things very quickly all at once, I sip cream soda very slowly. A couple brands that I favor are Stewarts and Boyland. I generally find the brown, caramel colored ones to be best, and some clear ones are decent. Stay away from that pink shit though.
Corrona man is going to be Boris Johnsons new nickname.
I think the main draw of a SodaStream is putting your own flavors in it. You can buy better-quality cola syrup, or juice concentrate, or even make your own syrup.
Ryan sounds a lot like Cousin Dan. What an excellent coincidence!
Ryan AKA Cousin Dan same man.
Andrew Whitney that was the joke you silly sausage
Matthew Kempf I think you mean coinciDANce
I heard that after this he got involved in crime as a getaway driver for a heist for a legendary arcade game
I love that fucking goose.
I do, as well. I want to see more of it.
he steals the show
I thought he said it had to live in a special lead lined box
I have a great idea for these...skip the water and the flavor packs and make carbonated gin!
When we had a sodastream we just used normal fruit cordial/squash and fizzed it up.
Also nice Londo Mollari B5 figurine you have there.
Thanks op guy from 3 years ago for reminding me of babylon 5 it's been a long time since I last seen that programme and I am gonna go watch it from the beginning again right now.
watching this in 2020... calling him the "corona man" takes on such a weird connotation, lol
So, it's his fault.
Ikr
Fuck off you're boring
@@BodywiseMustard ?
Corona man making the surprise comeback
I still have one. It's good for carbonating or re-carbonating drinks. The flavor mixes are iffy though.
I haven't any kids, but I just brought one home for myself, and I'd definitely inflict it on my kids if I had one... I got three bottles of the flavor mixes (root beer, Dr. Pete, and orange), but haven't touched them yet: I've been having too much fun carbonating everything else that comes to mind - Kool-Ade lemonade carbonated isn't half bad! I'll try recarbonating the flat bottle of tonic I opened months ago and forgot about later. Can't wait to try some home-made root beer, cream soda, and sarsaparilla with all-natural ingredients, I'm trying to think of a way of doing home-made ginger-ale, and I'm curious about carbonated coffee, tea, and wine (home-made champagne?) This thing's a hoot!
You're meant to fizz the water first, then put the syrup in (look at the side of the syrup bottle).
I think he's said before in the comments (back before youtube fucked the comment system) that it doesn't actually matter what order you do it in, it just says that because if you do the fizz first then you don't have to clean the syrup off the nozzle.
@@_lucyfree 9 years later (sorry). Apparently it's because the CO cannot cling as well to flavored mixtures compared to regular water.
I actually got a Sodastream for Christmas and I am actually enjoying this. We actually prepped it the way you did in the video and how the instructions told us to do it and the taste is night and day. Putting the flavor in before carbonating the water kills the flavor...and if you don't wait, it will cause a great volcanic effect. Following the instructions and it actually tastes quite nice.
I still enjoy the video and the rest of your videos, Ashens. I'm tempted to try some of the other flavors out there.
"Who remembers the Corona Man?"
He's still here.
16:25 "who remembers the corona man" nobody, but 2020 sure does have a corona that nobody will forget
for those wondering, burdock is also known as doc leaves, the ones people say help nettle stings but dont.
Yes tis true.
Nope, different things. Dock is any one of the plants in the genus Rumex; burdock is genus Arctium.
This is why I have no friends.
this is from the 70's? they were selling these as if they were new a few years ago
As the years go by and I revisit old videos it’s so nice to see a return of "The Goose".
Truly a legend among legends.
You what mate? They are still quite common in Germany. The syrup is also labeled normally. (i.e. Cola, orange lemonade etc)
Also, green = Waldmeister

This is my second time watching this and I noticed THE GOOSE is watching over the proceedings.
He knows...
lol two English men saying "Cheers!" really made my day for some odd reason... It just sounds so British! (I know, I have no life...)
I'd received one of these as a gift. I don't care for soda, but often make my own sparkling water, rather than buying bottles, mix it with cranberry juice and maybe vodka and lime juice, or just drink as is. You don't need to put it in the dishwasher, as you aren't supposed to put the syrup in the bottle.
Also, you needn't dispose of the canister. Just have it refilled at a sporting goods store which refills paintball tanks, and continue to use the machine for practically nothing. It's actually a huge money saver. Love the Flanders reference.
With the soda stream, if you use more pressure and less syrup, it takes less like a cheap brand
25 liters of Soda fizz later Ashens urin looked like a rainbow!
should revisit the modern versions of these, they improved the taste to be edible now! for some flavors at least....
BEHOLD THE GOOSE STRIKES BACK
ok but did you guys know that when he says "Who remembers the Corona Man?" it didn't age well?
oop-
Why is this phrased like a fun fact post lol
I was recently given one of these..
Should I take it as an insult?
i had one i keep it around just in case i have normal soda and it goes flat
rox driscoll OH MY GOD YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I guess it's a personal preference.
I mainly use it to fizz up my cordial-based drinks. Haha..
so glad im being recommended old ashens videos
As a Dr Pepper fanboy, this "Dr Pete" stuff is sacrilege.
Dr Pepper should never be replicated. It is perfect.
But not Dr Pepper Cherry. That’s weird. O.O

The.... Corona man. AHHHHHHHHHHHH (Cries in 2020.)
Why is Ambassador Londo Mollari watching you do this? (obscure Babylon 5 reference there.)
"Who remembers the Corona man?" officially nobody because every 2020 comment is just referring to the disease.
I own one of these and can tell you they are almost certainly marketed for people who drink a LOT of mixed drinks and don’t have the room for all the 2 liter bottles
Could you make fizzy milk? Has anyone tried? Why has nobody tried? I'm going to try
pewdiepie has
I did. It's way too viscous for the sodastream and will make a gigantic mess by the time you're done. Also, the CO2 gives the milk a really gross texture and aftertaste. Would not recommend.
someone needs to try gasoline
That sounds like a horrible idea. I'm gonna try it right now XD
A channel on here called Uxwbill has a few older videos called "Is it a good idea to carbonate this?" and one of the things carbonated was milk. Apparently it made it very sour.
It would be funny that if at the pause at 12:27. . .
Ashens just dropped the glass on the floor, and then we hear a loud thud of a body hit the floor also.
and then Ryan is just standing there muttering:
"Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?. . . .Stuart ?!!!!!!!"
Your video presentations are better than most stuff on TV these days, and certainly more so than Sky! Many thanks!
I don't wanna be that guy,but,it was only flat because you did it wrong. You're supposed to press it until you hear a couple loud buzz noises,which takes about 10 pushes of the button. It buzzes kinda like the C02 is becoming to much and being forced out,which i think is actually what it is.
You should NOT add the flavor before adding the bubbles. It gets the machine sticky and might clog it^^
He doesn't give a shit and probably got rid of the machine so this advice was not useful at all.
So its not useful for people that actually keeps the machines and dont know this?
There's a thing called a fucking instruction booklet that comes with every one of the devices. It not only states this but so much more in it too. So yes. Useless.
Haha beat it kiddo xD
You're still mad... and still useless.
4:30 You've probably already been corrected at least once about this, but you always carbonate the water first, then pour the syrup into the already-carbonated water. You don't carbonate already mixed up water and syrup for the exact point you made. You don't want this splattered all over your kitchen. And incidentally, you only want to carbonate chilled water. It holds the carbonation in and soda is always better cold anyway.
Oh, and the point to Sodastream makers is not to buy Sodastream's lackluster syrup. You buy it to create your own unique sodas using other flavoring ingredients. For example, coconut flavoring and liquid sweetener makes for a fairly awesome coconut soda. I dare you to run out and find that in your local store.
Dandelion is actually quite healthy to eat, and fairly tasty in a salad. It used to be grown as food, and it's very high in vitamins!
It smells of coke, so diesel and gunpowder?
Different coke.
still accurate though
Well you must have something wrong with your nose.
We've got shite coke here in Brazil (at least the poor parts) and it smells like cleaning products. Kind of.

You’re supposed to carbonate then put flavor in
For your question about fizzy Apple juice/soda in Utah (my birth state I know live in Arizona) we have this thing called apple beer where you can just get from fountains so when ever we go and visit family up there I usually get some and it isn't half bad similar to apple cider

I like how Ashens tells him to "shut up" when he exposes that he is his nephew XD
I craved one of these back in the nineties (back when there was a licensed Irn-Bru) - then a year and a half ago I finally got one, and it's glorious. We use it all the time - but then both my wife and I are big consumers of sparkling water. The soft drink syrups are... well, lets be charitable and call them "passable".
16:25 Ashens predicted Corona :O
i know, everytime i see or hear that word in an old video now my ears prick up :0
My Dad would buy a soda stream machine, say how much we would save, use generic store brand cordial instead of the soda stream brand syrup and never replace the gas bottle.
A couple of years later, he’d come home with a brand new and likely updated version of the soda stream machine with the same sales pitch, he’d buy knew ones, because they were being sold at the same price or less than the gas bottles on special.
We had a lot of those machines and LOTS of the bottles.
16:24 "who remembers the Corona man"
Well...
it tastes like cheap dr. pepper. you made mr. pibb.
true
Mr. Pibb is probably the best Dr. Pepper knockoff. I've tried a few and by far the worst is Walmarts' Dr. Thunder brand.
Mister Pibb is better than Doctor Pepper.
Joshua
Every time I've had Mr. Pibb it has had a decent taste with a horrible aftertaste.
james lawrence It never leaves an after taste when I drink it. That's strange, Doctor Pepper leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
After Barshens it’s nice to see the earlier version of Ashens and Cousin Dan.
