While you were sleeping, I watched this infomercial for SodaStream. It's for people who are just sick and tired of purchasing, carrying, storing, drinking, and disposing of their current store-bought soda pop. SodaStream allows you to use your very own tap water and one of their 30 varieties of sodamix flavors. I may be suffering from insomnia, but that doesn't mean i don't aspire to catch another REM cycle, so I mainly listened with my eyes closed, wishing for sleep.
While I didn't catch this infomercial in it's entirety or give it my full attention, I noticed an absence of commentary on how delicious SodaStream sodas are. I bet it tastes like watered-down Triaminic. They mainly emphasized the convenience, affordability, simplicity, variety (creamsicle! root beer!), and my favorite selling point: environmental friendliness. There were many remarks from SodaStream users, who seemed so grateful to be released from the shackles of having to purchase and store their soft drinks. I had no idea that 2-liters and fridge packs were such burdens. I'm serious, these people had a lot of pent-up resentment towards purchasing, storing, and disposing of soda cans. Sheesh.
Does Sally look burdened to you? Nope! She loves her Dr. Thunder!
I mainly saw mothers making the soda in the infomercial. How fun for mom. As if they don't have enough to do. I guess this could be a novelty item that's fun for kids...but it's no Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine. Realistically, the only people I could see using this product are the Duggars. They make their own laundry detergent for pete's sake.
My mom really wants one so she can stop buying the fru fru carbonated water. I think it's hilarious!
