Stop Buying Canned Soda. The SodaTide’s Hidden Cost Will Make You Rethink Everything.

The SodaTide is a beautiful machine that makes excellent sparkling water, but its hidden cost—proprietary CO2 cartridges at $10 a pop—turns a countertop appliance into a subscription trap. Real-world math shows it’s more expensive per liter than canned soda, and the environmental benefits are dubious at best. If you’re looking for savings, look elsewhere.
