Buy this: http://www.sodastreamusa.com/
At Bed Bath and Beyond, not likely to get any help..especially not at the one near my house, they just look at you with a “DUH” look on their face..They have the SodaStream Source Metal Edition Starter Kits for 129 which comes in different colors and they also have the standard one only in white for 99 bucks
I remember when a few months ago I got my Keurig coffee machine and I went to BB&B to ask what kind of coffee they recommend and no one had a clue..they just told me “Buy a few and return the ones you dont like” well thank you Captain Obvious LOL..ended up buying Donut Shop off of Keurig’s web site(Buy 2 get 2 free when you first register the coffee maker) so I ended up saving money

liked it. no problems with it.
yeah now I just need to know what kind of Sodastream to get..there are different models and not sure which one is best, or which flavors are best
I just watched the ad. That’s not a burkha. It’s a scarf. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a repulsive and anti American ad.
“It is yet to be seen if the meal of the new America will be a burger, fries and a coke.”
It will be hummus, falafel, pita chips and tea.
“Was thinking about buying a Sodastream to support Israel of course..but are the drinks that you can make with it any good..never even tasted it before so have no idea how it even tastes”
Buy it. I’ve had mine for 3 years now, and love it. Go for it, you won’t regret it.
I posted this on another thread earlier, but fits here too:
Do buy one. I got one when they were first coming out and I love my Soda Stream. No artificial stuff in their syrups, and so easy to use. Saves you a bundle of money over buying soda at the store, and you can vary what you drink whenever you want. And you don’t run out of it and have to run back to the store again, nor do you have to lug big 2 liter soda bottles around from the store. Plus there are a bunch of varieties of soda to choose from, including many being diet. They have branched out and you can get iced tea, lemonade, flavored waters, fruit punch, crystal lite, and who knows what they will be offering next. Go for it, you won’t regret it.
There are different variations of the SodaStream which one do you recommend? Also which flavors are good..and I know this may sound like a silly question but what are the benefits of this compared to just buying soda in the store(because I checked out the ingredients online and they have caramel coloring and Sucralose too) is it the Carbonation that makes it taste better?
Why don’t you buy the walmart version, with some sodas you like, make em and if you don’t like em take it back
We had a guy that knew just about everything about all the coffee machines. I don’t drink much coffee so i still use my drip. i guess it depends on the store but yes you can always buy and return.
And yet we're doing our damndest to be more like their countries. We've a bunch of blind folks here.
I didn’t realize there were two different videos that came out the same day. Here’s the one I thought everybody was talking about.

LOL
I don’t want to be like any country I’ve visited.
An America where people subscribe to the notion that no matter what your station or country of origin, you could speak, worship, own property, and pursue as much education as you could find the opportunity with impunity.
Used to be you’d arrive with the vow to leave behind those aspects of your origins that kept you from those opportunities. One of them was your language. The other was that you were going to raise your children so that they could participate in those freedoms as fully unencumbered Americans. This is why English was insisted on by the early immigrants.
This embodied the notion of a melting pot. All the talents and experiences coming together within the Great American Experiment created something better than all those other countries and traditions separately.
A nation where people of other countries are urged to arrive illegally to take advantage of social welfare programs, are encouraged to flout the laws and traditions, and allowed to use their language as a way to alienate those that are providing for the public benefits they enjoy isn’t a melting pot.
It’s a chamber pot.
There’s a myth that people would come to this country leaving the old one behind, and it’s simply not true. Immigrants have always tended to cluster around their own kind, it’s how we get Chinatowns and Little Italies, and the almost all Irish 5 Points in NYC. Often times people speaking their own language, keeping their own customs, easing into the new culture.
The melting pot has never truly existed, it’s a fiction. Or if it did exist there was a notable lack of stirring because you always have been able to find pockets of other cultures in this country. From the earliest when the colonists from certain areas with certain religions would gather in the same area. This lack of stirring is how we wound up with the Pennsylvania Dutch who have their own version of German.
People holding their old customs is not tied to illegal immigration, and the need to glue them together is a lazy minded one. Legal immigrants for as long as people have been coming here have maintained this pattern.
Customs? Yes, hold on to those. Languages? Never. That has NEVER been the case. Initially, each of the ethnicities held on to their communities, but the idea throughout was that NOW YOU ARE IN AMERICA. Be an American.
Speak the language.
It has never been the case that these immigrant communities stubbornly stuck to their languages rather than adopt English as their new language, and it was NEVER the case that children be encouraged to do the same.
On the contrary, the more distance immigrants could put between the old ways and the new, the better.
