My guess is you'll use it a few times, and then get tired of buying/filling CO2 canisters. My parents had something similar about 15 years ago, but there was no syrup to make soda/pop. It was just to make "sparkling" (fizzy) water. It did what it was supposed to do, but I hate sparkling/fizzy water.

Checkout the Krups Beertender. LOL I saw some guy selling his on Craigslist...I guess if you don't like Heineken (like me), it probably wouldn't be for you. Not sure if you can use other beers. Hockeydad might like it...it would make a nice car accessory. 🖐

The Krups Beertender can use any beers that come in DraughtKegs - Henekein, NewCastle, I think there are one or two more, but that's probably it right now, there aren't many offerings in the DraughtKegs.

There are some other brands of 5L keg dispensers that can use both DraughtKegs and have an adapter w/ CO2 cartage for other types of 5L kegs - so you can tap beers like Paulaner and a few others along with a couple of root beers (Virgil's comes to mind) that come in the 5L kegs with the vent on top and the spigot on the bottom as opposed to the pressureized DraughtKeg style.

Of course, since, IIRC, wheel has a couple of taps for pony kegs at his bar, this is all moot.

Yeah, I thought there were some other Draught Kegs besides the Henekein, Henekein Lite and New Castle, but I can't seem to find any evidence of them, so I must have been thinking of something else. Since the Krups BeerTender can only be used with the Draught Kegs, that really limits it's usefulness.

Here's the Edgestar 5L keg dispenser that can handle other types of kegs with an adapter.

Love mine and use it all the time. Google co2 doctor and get the adapter and a 20lb tank. You won't regret it. Drinking gin and sparkling h2o with lime right now.

I'll second that.

Soda really isn't all that hard to make. Basically, it's carbonated water and a flavored syrup. POOF! Done.
