Wanted to try an energy drink since I usually never drink them but didn't want one with tons of sugar etc but also didn't taste terrible. This would just be a once in a great while occasion.

Sodastream is from Israel, so that’s a big no from me. Only learned that recently when I was considering if I should buy one.

Not heard of Drinkmate before. Thanks for reigniting my hopes of home made carbonated water!

That's interesting, didn't know that either. I would normally caution against painting an Israeli business the same as the Israeli government, but I skimmed their Wikipedia article and it looks like the company has treated Palestinians pretty badly itself :(

Truthfully, I couldn't remember any of the other competitor brands that I considered when deciding on a Drinkmate originally. Sodastream was just the one that came to mind.

Why do you need to get it from the shittiest source possible if the country of origin doesn't matter
