Freegan-ing A Terra SodaStream

The La Croix of it all!   I freegan-ed a working Terra SodaStream - Terra Soda Streaming Machine, that makes Sparkling Water Maker with a CO2 cylinder.  Eco-Friendly, No Batteries Needed.

This Terra Soda Streaming Machine has clean bottles and a CO2 cylinder with an expiration date.  CO2 cylinders are available for purchase at regular grocery stores meaning it will be good to go making sparkling soda on a regular basis.

I sterilized everything first and the SodaStream seemed to be in good working order. So I filled one of the bottles with filtered water to Soda Stream then pumped the machine. Voila. Sparkling Soda on demand.

You can use fresh, non-pulp juice to add to Soda Stream, so I added juice.  Now, I can make healthier sodas, cane sugar free, I might add, at home, and no longer need to purchase plastic bottles of seltzer.

Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...

The influence is direct in one or two of the pairings.   Here are the clues:   1. Sweet romance, then and now Two songs built around the same simple moment — the spark of a kiss — one from the ‘60s, one from the ‘90s. 2. A classic Motown plea meets a modern caffeine‑charged crush Both tracks radiate sugary pop energy, even if one is more “baby love” and the other is more “espresso buzz.” 3. Same title, different decade A summer heartbreak anthem gets reinvented by a modern superstar who shares its name. 4.
