SodaSparkle Review and Giveaway! Ends 12/21

Soda Sparkle Review & Giveaway!

I was recently sent a great product to review and I am happy to tell you all about it!  It is an item called Soda Sparkle that lets you turn tap water into soda, or sparkling flavored water!  Yes you've heard of similar items, but this one is different!

They have 3 different starter kits - I received the Twin Bottle Home Soda Maker Kit which retails for only $59 and comes with 2 different sized bottles and caps, 5 bottle chargers, 15 packets of flavoring, the soda maker charging device, and of course, a user guide.  

Here it is below (coffee pot and hot cocoa canister not included):

So why is it different and how does it work? It is different because as you can see above: 

1) No large unit to take up counter-top space 

2) Two sized bottles let you adapt the amount of carbonation easily 

3) No guess work on how soon you need to get more carbonation 

4) Variety of flavor packets sure to please everyone 

5) Turns tap water into flavorful soft drinks, non-alcoholic cocktails and refreshing sparkling water!

6) Compact design with disposable chargers - great for outdoor dining and picnics

7) Individual flavor sticks offers your choice of fresh, natural flavors

8) Perfect for parties and get togethers

9) Quick, easy and fun

10) Fully recyclable and disposable chargers

11) Environmentally friendly

12) More affordable than some other brand soda makers around.

This above is a picture from their guidebook with complete usage instructions.  I personally had to read the written directions, and recommend everyone else does too - but it was very nice to have the illustrated guide to go along with it.  Basically here is how you turn water into soda with your SodaSparkle Machine - you choose a bottle and fill it to the line with CHILLED water, then screw on the charging device, next place on one of the carbonated bottle chargers (the silver bullet looking items), into the open chamber and make sure it goes in well.  For me this part was a bit tricky, because I was being too gently, I had to give it a good nudge to get it to line up in there instead of sitting at an angle.  I had a similar issue when I made an attempt to remove it once it was empty... but by applying a tad of force at a slight angle, I was able to get it to pop out of there.  I think I've got it now.  I have a tendency to be very gentle with new items and sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.  With this one, don't attack it full force but put some pressure into it.

When you screw the top onto the bottle it will cause the device to puncture the carbonation charger and you will hear it begin to fizz.  You need to wait at a bit for this process to complete, then you shake the bottle for a bit (see instructions) and remove the device and replace it with a bottle cap.  When you are ready to have a glass, pour your carbonated soda water into a glass, choose a flavor packet of your choice, pour it in, stir and enjoy! Store the bottle in the fridge for later!

You'll notice even after adding the flavor, it is still clear -

This is because there are:

NO added preservatives

NO artificial flavors

NO artificial colors

NO sugar

So you end up with a healthier soda to serve and enjoy.  I love that and I love that everyone can choose their favorite flavor and just add it to the glass! I found the apple to be delish but my daughter is more fond of the pineapple flavor.  No more arguing over what flavor to make. Plus if you like a lighter taste, you can use the larger bottle to have less fizz and use a larger glass to make the flavor less pronounced = viola! sparkling flavored water!  Use the smaller bottle and a smaller glass for more fizz and more flavor = tada! soda!
