I like Soda Stream and own one, but the syrups aren&#x27;t very good if you ask me. I&#x27;d happily pay more for Syrup if it was the branded stuff that tastes right.<p>Part of the reason why, I suspect, is because they aren&#x27;t aiming for 1:1 parity, they want &quot;healthier&quot; so they can put it on a billboard. Ultimately result is that they taste like diet drinks (only with more sugar).
