Seltzer Yes

We picked up a Sodastream seltzer maker today. It works! Very easy to set up, and nice that it's no more complicated than necessary. It's clear that future versions will need some sort of biometric reader to deliver the exact level of bubbliness each inhabitant requires, but the current model has no buttons, LEDS, and doesn't even use electricity. In these uncertain times, it is comforting indeed to know that not even catastrophic infrastructure failure will prevent us from carbonating whatever water we've stockpiled in the basement.

p.s.: Anyone have a good idea what we should do with twelve soda syrup samples we'll never use? Reward for proposing the best idea is, of course,

twelve soda syrup samples.
