"Better than Coke" - How To Make Your Own Soda or Carbonated Drink

[Wanda7771]

Does the carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages cause global warming? I hope AlGore doesn't see this!

[JayDaddie]

Now that's something I really have to try! I'd be curious to know what pressure you need to apply in the bottle though.

@Wanda7771 ...I don't think opening a bottle of soda releases more CO2 than a human being taking a breath.

[IncubatedTigers]

I think I'll stick to my Dr.Pepper!

Just get a cheap clean paintball co2 tank from walmart for $20. Then take it to a paintball park and get it filled for $1-$4 . now you got cheap eco-drink.

It's probabley even better for you because you don't have to put High Fructose Corn Syrup and god knows what else like the big companies do.

[TheMisfits1977]

lol peoples comments are great Co2 is dirt cheap. So is soda and beer making.Need co2? Airgas is a welding supply and are very reasonable. You can carbonate around forty gallons worth of beer or soda for like 5 bucks. Buy a empty tank from ebay and get it filled at the welding supply or paintball shop. I hate the youtube "experts" that make stupid comments about subjects that they know nothing about. Take the time to learn something it may pay off.

[jeykeype]

can you use mini co2's?

[MrASDFSkyler]

Coolio :D

I was once at a party with friends an a BBQ and everything, when this guy (friend) came with this kind of "homemade" coke, at first i didn't realise it wasn't from the store, but later on i had the suspicion that the taste may have been "different" and kinda better. I asked what's wrong with it, and i was very surprised :P.

[Juice0fTheBarley]

Squeezing the bottle to get all the air out was clever.

I get my CO2 tanks from a welding supply store.

@NinjaToaster13 Don't listen to anyone here...just go to any number of fire extinguisher companies...ask to buy a "loaner" co2...a 5lb co2. Then anytime you need a refill, just go back to the place you bought it...they'll refill it in 3 mins for ya...might charge you maybe $30

[planbdevinbrooks]

that wasnt better than coke



[CorvetteBG]

@planbdevinbrooks Did you even try?

[pelepeng]

What psi are you setting to for those small PET bottles?

[sneezinuns]

you can make your own co2 by linking a tube to your drink and vinegar and backing soda because the backing soda and vinegar releases carbon

[x360rockshard]

@sneezinuns Genius !

[wonderchristy7]

haha. niceness!!!

[tellner]

What's wrong with making your own soda the old-fashioned way - water, bottles, flavoring and yeast? With modern bottles you don't have to worry about exploding bottles.

[woodmanwoody]

that freaking KOool

[fa305florida]

it's alot cheaper just to buy it. Lol

[WoolmanSemester]

They're not always easy to get, but here's some leads:

-Find a friend who plays paintball, people who are really into it often have big CO2 tanks

-Go to a beverage/gas supply place and rent a tank, it's usually not expensive

-Buy a tank on ebay, and get it filled at a gas supplier

Good luck!

@WoolmanSemester or just get another empty bottle and add vinegar and baking soda and you get Co2 everything else is the same though

[rockstarmaniac717]

@WoolmanSemester what size tank is that like how many lbs of pressure
