SodaStream Diet Orange Syrup, 14.8 Fluid Ounce

I got one from Amazon few days ago and we loved it so much ordered again. Love the Rootbeer. Great taste and value. Less waste. No trash can full of empty bottles of soda. And no half drank cans all about my house from my kids! So it's a win all the way around

I've been pleasantly surprised by SodaStream's Energy Syrup! As a fan of energy drinks like Red Bull, I was skeptical at first, but this syrup delivers a similar taste experience without the usual fizz overload. It's easy to use with my SodaStream, and the flavor is spot-on - bold and energizing, just like a Red Bull. Plus, being able to control the sweetness level is a definite bonus. If you're looking for a refreshing alternative to canned energy drinks, give this syrup a shot!

A bit too sweet…

I like root beer, so when this arrived today, I immediately made some in my Soda Stream. This stuff rocks! I honestly can't tell the difference between this and A&W. I'm very happy with this purchase.

It works as a fizzy drink flavor, but if you use the recommended amount it seems very weak to me. It's not much like the flavor of the two big brand name colas. My biggest problem? The very high price of the various syrups sold for use with domestic fizzy drink machines.Having worked in a couple of bars as a young person I know cola and other syrup is cheap, but this stuff is quite the opposite. It's also watered down compared to the syrups the bars used to receive from Coke & Pepsi (although it's quite possible the big names are watering down their commercial supply of syrups as well, I suppose).Anyway, as long you remember to fizz your water BEFORE adding the syrup (you'll have cleaning to do if you do it the other way round...) and as long as you don't mind using roughly two capfuls of syrup per liter bottle of water, it makes a decent cola drink.I keep one bottle in stock just in case I need a hit of cola-like flavor, but mostly I just drink icy cold plain fizzy water.

They ruined a good product due to their greed. I've been a loyal SodaStream customer for several years. Over the years there were slight changes to the diet cola and other flavors and they've always been improvements. Now, SodaStream reformulated the syrup to boost their profits at the expense of their customers.Here's What's New:1. The flavor has changed and not for the better. It has a strange flavor that I can't quite describe. Granted, I've never expected SodaStream's diet flavors to be as good as the major soda players, but come on, this is awful. It tastes like something you'd get at a dollar store. I always appreciate SodaStream not using aspartame as a sweetener and fortunately they still don't. However, now Diet Pepsi is aspartame free, so there's no advantage there anymore.2. You now need a significant greater amount of syrup to carbonate a one liter volume of water. It's incredibly insulting to loyal SodaStream users to charge them the same or greater price for a smaller bottle of syrup that makes so much less soda. There's no reason to do this except to drive profits. You still have to use a capful of syrup to make a liter of soda and by looking at the picture of the bottle you'd think it wouldn't be a big deal until you remove the cap and see how far it extends into the bottle. It's a huge cap to fill.3. Once you open the syrup, you have to now refrigerate the rest of the bottle. In this age of sophisticated food and beverage science, do they expect us to believe they couldn't create a new syrup that doesn't have to be refrigerated and doesn't require twice the volume?4. The cap. It's poorly designed and lends itself to dripping.I used to really love my SodaStream maker and syrup and would recommend it to people all of the time. Now it's quite the opposite and I'll share these details with everyone who asks or is contemplating purchasing a new machine.If SodaStream brings back the old formulations I'll be a happy customer. Until that time, they're going to lose me and many others as customers.

I like soda, but you know same-old same-old want to cut back on sugar. For me this was a great alternative to occasionally buying a 2 liter of soda(which would either go flat, or I'd force myself to drink it all in a couple of days to not waste it) or wasting money on smaller bottles (to try to keep consumption down, but fizziness up).I already had a Soda Stream because I was enjoying carbonated water, so I finally tried a syrup out. Took me one or two glasses to figure out how much I needed per glass, finally settled on the lower measuring line in the cap, after that it was great! I can just have a single glass of soda like once in a while and I don't feel like I'm wasting any money.I like Dr. Pepper and this taste just like it from what I can tell. Keep in mind before trying this I hadn't had a Dr. Pepper in like a month, so that may have also helped with the tast transition. Just a thought before you try and do like a side-by-side taste comparison.

Actually tastes better than I expected.
