I never bought a SodaStream, but I have tried the Ninja Thirsti Soda pods, and am loving them so far. I like that I can mix in the Hint/Splash flavors in to make something like a Diet Cherry RC Cola on tap pretty much. Also thanks to your video with the Italian Soda recommendation, I also have been able to enjoy Vanilla Cola as well. Thanks for your videos on this incredibly niche machine, they have been helpful!
was looking forward to your review of these. I have my eyes out looking for them at my local stores. I recently picked up a Fruit Punch Koolaid and I’m waiting for an empty thirsti pod to use for it.
I bought them direct from Ninja. You have to buy 5 to get free shipping. I have seen Root Beer and Dr Thirsti in store at Walmart. I assume they will get all the flavors eventually. Amazon is selling them in 3 ct of each flavor amzn.to/4hDD8lV They were In Stock when I made this video, but now they are Out of Stock!
Do you think getting the thirsti max system is worth it since right now it’s on Black Friday special for $149 and you can choose your flavors? Or the OG for $79 and you can choose your flavors? Is the carbonation significantly better?
The carbonation difference isn't that significant in my opinion. I like the Max for the larger canister size. If that isn't a big deal to you I would probably just get the black model for $79. That's a great price! I think I paid $150 when I bought mine!
@@kstorrerok thanks!! Ya I thought for $79 and to be able to choose my pods it was great! And with my sodastream I just add in ice after so the feature doesn’t seem necessary
Hi! You don't have to refrigerate them, but you can if you want. Once opened they advise you to use within 30 days. That's really not a problem for me lol
Not a fan of diet soda in general and it sounds like these don’t taste as good as the originals. Have a ninja thirsti…I found the best tasting and more healthy option is to just make your own simple syrups without artificial sweeteners and then just tablespoon it in after you make the carbonated water.
Oh I know! If you buy from the Ninja website you can buy just one at a time. You have to buy 5 to get free shipping though. I bought one of each and two of the orange since I assumed it would be my favorite. 😃
This was a great review. Had no idea there were pop flavours!
I really like the Dr. Thirsti! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Thank you for doing a blind taste test. So many reviews just taste one flavor but don't compare it to anything.
Oh thank you!!! I love doing taste tests! It's fun!!
Thanks for the reviews! Picked up the Thirsti Max!
Will have to grab some koolaid pods too!
Oh cool!!! I think you will like the Kool Aid 😁
Thank you for the honest reviews! I need to cut back on sugar, I'll have to give these a try! 🥤
They are really good! I wish they would do a partnership with Diet Dr Pepper (it's my favorite)! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
@kstorrer Thanks so much for all you do! My day's always better when I see a new video from you! 🌞

I love the vanilla Torani syrup! So good!! I am going to try it with the new Ninja Cola and Dr. Thirsti pods!! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Oooh! Kool Aid! That’s on my list! Wonderful video.
Yes try the Kool Aid! Thank you for watching!! 😁
was looking forward to your review of these. I have my eyes out looking for them at my local stores. I recently picked up a Fruit Punch Koolaid and I’m waiting for an empty thirsti pod to use for it.
I found 2 of the soda flavors at Walmart. Grape Kool Aid is my favorite, but Fruit Punch is pretty good too! 😃
Where did you buy the ninja zero sodas from?Thankyou!

DR Thirsti is SO good! I love the Root Beer too.
Yes!! I'm so happy there are finally soda flavors!! 😀
I have both sodastream and Ninja Thirsty. I will get the soda for the thirsty also.
I was really impressed! I think you will like them!!
Not counting the cost of the ninja machine, economically which is less expensive- diet Dr Pepper or Dr thirsty from ninja?
The Dr Thirsti pod is $6.99 and makes 17 twelve ounce servings, so less expensive than a 12 pk of Diet Dr Pepper which is like $10 these days!!

I just picked up zero cola and dr. thirsti from local store does ninja thirsti flavors need refrigerated after opening?Thankyou!
Hi! You don't have to refrigerate them, but you can if you want. Once opened they advise you to use within 30 days. That's really not a problem for me lol
Do you still have the newer version? Or did you return it?
My parents have it! They have been wanting one for awhile now 😃
@ that’s super sweet of you to give it to them. I’m pretty stoked about it. It should be here today!
Yay!! You will love it!! 😁

I use the Torani syrups this way, and they are so good! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
I Wish they had a variety soda thristi pack so you wouldn't have to buy 3 of each of them just to test lol
Oh I know! If you buy from the Ninja website you can buy just one at a time. You have to buy 5 to get free shipping though. I bought one of each and two of the orange since I assumed it would be my favorite. 😃
Invest in a wireless microphone that clips on you so we can't hear the big room your in.
I did! I think it was the video I made after this one! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
You didn’t buy the branded one
What do you mean?
@ there is a Pepsi cola one
@Catcave126 oh yes I have tried it! I wanted to use the cola flavor since it's supposed to be more like Coca Cola. Thanks so much for watching!
You have to rinse your mouth thoroughly with fresh neutral tap water between your taste tests.
Yes that would have been more scientific!
I have enjoyed the knock off Dr Pepper the best lol
I have heard a lot of people say that! I like it too! 😁
Thirsty root beer is gross, I really wanted to like it.
My son didn't like it either. I think it's better than Sodastream though! Thanks so much for watching!
I'm so glad I could help you!!! Thank you so much for watching! 😃
