I have always enjoyed sparkling water, not so much colas and sodas, but yes on just plain bubbly water.  It was always a pain to keep myself supplied, lugging heavy cases of mineral water or just plain seltzer up to the apartment.  Often I would make shopping trips to exotic New Jersey, if I bought enough and saved enough it compensated for the tolls and other costs.

Until I heard more about SodaStream.  I am not a compensated endorser, just a fan.  The unit is powered exclusively by the replacement CO2 cartridges so can sit anywhere on your counter.  They are easy to swap out and replace while on errands around town.  The best part is that New York has the finest municipal water supply in the world (thanks Catskills!).  You can get various flavorings to make soda but I like it plain and clean with a squeeze of lime.  If you don’t have one already, you should look into it!
