Here’s something cool: a home soda maker. We’re all hearing now about how diet soda is so bad for us, it’s what’s making us fat, it won’t help us lose weight, the splenda/aspartame/saccarhin/whatever is going to give us brain damage and so on.
Purdue says that diet soda prevents us from realizing how many calories we’re taking in. Not sure I believe that, but anyway, if you’re thinking of kicking the diet soda habit and are hoping it helps the weight loss, you may find yourself craving soda anyway and not fond of the idea of giving it up.
There’s an alternative.
A home soda maker. A SodaStream. Make your own soda at home with your own machine. Your own carbonation.
You can make your own soda in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee and offers a big flavor variety too. A home soda maker is one of those gadgets I would love to get for my brother. He loves this kind of thing!
