Soda Stream Review and Giveaway!

  Trying to lose 30 more pounds I had to pass on the opportunity to personally test this product and handed it off to my favorite babysitter in the entire world, Amber. I am avoiding soda/caffeinated beverages at the moment to hopefully lose a few more pounds. Amber, did an excellent job as she rounded up the kids and set the SodaStream system up. The kids were laughing and having a good time while experimenting with the flavors and creating their own drinks. 

The SodaStream is a machine that uses regular tap water, and flavoring to make carbonated soda. With three simple ingredients: tap water, carbonation, and the flavor that you wish to choose. The SodaStream's very convenient and cost effective. It's also great for the environment. Instead of buying bottles or cans of soda and tossing them out to recycle you can re-use the SodaStream container continuously.
 
It seemed easy to make and it's great because you can choose how much fizz you want in your soda or flavored water! The kids tried a few flavors and Root Beer seemed to be their favorite. Amber stated the Cola flavor was surprisingly similar to the well known brand 'Coca-Cola.' The carbonation system lasts for 60 liters and you can make soda or flavored water with it. 

Giveaway package is a Fountain Jet Soda Lover's Start-Up Kit  ($99.95) http://www.sodastreamusa.com/Fountain-Jet-Soda-Starter-Kit-P184.aspx. Open to residence of the US and 18 years of age or older. Must respond to winning notification e-mail with 48 hours or prize will be voided and transferred to another winner.

Jarritos Soda: Review

Jarritos is one of Mexico's original and most popular soft drink brands. And yes, the company is still growing and diverse. The company was established in 1950 by Don Francisco "El Guro" Hill and they currently offers 11 unique fruity flavors which are made with 100% natural sugar!

I was ecstatic when I received the sampler pack which included all 11 Jarritos flavors. Of course, I wanted to pop the tops off of every single bottle to try them. However, I tamed myself and tried them one by one on different days.

Jarritos sodas are still being bottled with glass. I'm not fond of this due to the environmental factor. Although, I believe soda that's bottled has a unique and crisp flavor and taste better than soda bottled in a plastic container.

Being the reviewer of this product I had to defend my treasured Jarritos sodas from Nick and boy was that a battle. But, lets just say I didn't win. Jarritos, had a more complex flavor with less exaggerated sweetness. Unlike other sodas I didn't seem to burp as frequently and I wasn't as gassy due to the high fructose that's in other brands. My favorite flavor would be the lime as it was so smooth and impressively the best lime drink I've ever had!
