If ever there was an example of how badly politicians need their advisors, she is it. Possibly the stupidest politician to have ever been given a relevant position in politics (and that’s saying something given the current state of much of the worlds politics).
She can’t take questions that go off script, and when she is talking, you can see the concentration on her face as she tries to remember what she was told to say.
The advisors have it right this time, but I can’t even begin to visualise how many products would be missing from ever y sector of the market with sanctions on Israeli goods.
I just hope that they get it done, and fast.
but I can’t even begin to visualise how many products would be missing from ever y sector of the market with sanctions on Israeli goods.
Uh… not that many? Israel is a country of 10 million people; it’s not exactly the world factory.
It sucks that Sodastream is an Isreali company, It has finally got me mostly off sugery sodas.
But now I don’t really want to get new cartridges, even third party, as I don’t want to support them even through licensing fees
You can grab an adapter for the large bar style canisters of CO2 for about 15 or 20 bucks online. Just hide the bottle under a counter or something and run the very thin line up to the unit. It works great.
The bonus is that the cost per bottle goes down to about a penny and you’re not giving them a dime.
I don’t, since I was made aware I only buy store brand refills
I still suspect that the third party cartridges require the manufacturer to pay a license fee to Sodastream
Idk they are a lot cheaper, and the company was quick to adopt another clipping system, but I’m not sure if they receive a kickback.
Idk, people make beer at home. I’d think you could use some of that stuff and make fizzy water. Fountain drinks are highly profitable, so it’d be super cheap in the long run.
Here you go! Much cheaper in the long run too.
That actually isn’t always true.
Where I live there are so many third parties offering refills that doing it yourself is always more expensive.
Damn, that’s cool!
Too bad I am on the other side of the world…
There are similar adapters available at lots of places online.
There aren’t any license fees, Sodastream is well out of protection now.
Just don’t buy sodastream brand refills.
There are tons of soda stream alternatives now, even some that don’t require Co2, (but they’re probably a lot more expensive).
I’ve no idea what any of them are like though.
Don’t require Co2?
Isn’t that the entire point of sodastream?
Yeah, no idea how they work. Coincidentally I only ever saw the first one last week on a promo via some German site. A quick search shows this list
I’m sure that there are many more. I also saw another list about the different methods of flavour infusion, not just syrups… it caught my attention.
Edit…
I checked the price on the top one when I first saw the list, and it said €59. After I posted the link here, I went back again, as they were cheaper than I thought they would be. Now it says €88.90… 🤔
