The comment section is the reason we have $9 Oreos and $11 packs of soda. Enough people buy shit at insane prices to sustain companies. Eventually everyone finds their wtf-prices

I got a Sodastream and a big tank of gas from the fire extinguisher place, and a cheap kit on Amazon to rig it up. Lol thats how long ago buying soft drinks at the grocery store pissed me off . And yeah those Oreos.. and the quality of things, I used to actually like Kraft Dinner once in a while... But they quadrupled the price and swapped out the actual noodles for whatever the hell there's way less of in the box now. We have learned a lot of things we can just make at home as prices have gone up. Including snooty coffee lol

What did you buy to rig it all up?

They have kits on Amazon, there are two kinds.. one is for refilling the gas bottles, which we trued and failed at lol the other one goes right on to the gas inlet of the machine.. then there's a hise that goes to the c02 tank. I got a 20 lb tank and got it filled at the fire extinguisher place, we hook it up to the hose, and gas bottles for months lol it costs about 32 dollars to fill. You just need to look at the type of bottles your machine takes and get the appropriate setup and you're off to the races. If you are going to have a go at refilling your own bottles, get OLD ones.. newer ines are made to prevent it. And freeze them first ir they wont fill :)
