This is the brand name of carbonation systems for use at home. They were invented during the early 1900s to incorporate carbon dioxide (CO2) to drinking water. In those days these were called “apparatus for aerating liquids”. The newer versions permit incorporating flavored concentrates and before you know it – you have homemade carbonated, flavor drink or soda pop.
The very first machines manufactured were rather big and were sold for the larger households of the upper classes of London, including the royal household. There initially were flavors with odd names, one being the famous sarsaparilla released while in the 1920s. The commercial carbonation machines were also introduced in the 1920s and were very popular. The first smaller sized machines for home carbonation was carbonatedseltzerwater produced in 1955.
Because of so many types of concentrate, various and exclusive flavors of soft drinks can be made. In the days when the systems were most popular, many well-known brands were available for SodaStream from the concentrate such as Fants, and Sunkist.
In the early 1990s, the business merged with Soda-Club and has since relaunched with a marketing plan targeted more in the direction of health or healthiers drink for kids or families.
The SodaStream drink maker features a canister with CO2 that is forced into water which makes water fizzy. The total product features a machine, co2 canister, and many reusable drink bottles specially designed for pressurizing. After filling a bottle with water, you screw it to the machine, push a button, and make sparkling water. Carbonated sparkling water is additionally known as seltzer water. There are different flavors of concentrated syrups which allows the user to create regular or diet pop (or soft drinks). When the canister is empty, you return it and purchase a new canister of CO2.
The popularity on the SodaStream throughout the 70s and 80s in the United Kingdom and currently are associated with nostalgia for all those time periods. The advertising jingle in 1970 was “get busy with the fizzy” and was so very well liked, that the slogan was included with their logo. It was finally dropped in 1996 after 17 years.
MilkStream is actually a machine made by the very same company to make milkshakes. You simply add milk, ice cream and syrup in a tall glass, insert into the machine and a wand extends into the tall glass to whip up a foaming, tasty milkshake.
Today, SodaStream is a component of Soda-Club and there are many websites where they can be purchased and all sorts of the supplies could be ordered and reordered as required.
