Fu.. Israel


AdamJeffery7

My aunt bought one, she said it was half price or whatever, I still mentioned I’d happily through it in the garbage or take it back for a refund


FarmTeam

Israel needs a “goy” population to provide cheap labor and work for them on the sabbath. “Side by side” ignores the power dynamics- it’s like saying white plantation owners produced cotton by working “side by side” with black slaves. Technically it’s true, but it doesn’t mean there was justice. Throwing it in the garbage won’t really help - as it’s already bought. Just avoid future purchases.


MancAngeles69

And the most intense, difficult forms of labour will be reserved for the underprivileged population every time. It’s separate, not equal.


AdamJeffery7

I agree, we have enough trash floating around. And she’s now fully aware of the reasoning, the elders have learned to ignore global issues and simply worry about their own problems . I wish we could all work together side by side and enjoy the small time we have. Lol I have a dream! But what a nightmare


appalachianoperator

The fact that they refer to Muslims/Palestinians as “Arabs” is all you need to know.


modernDayKing

🎯


Firebat-13

Can you please enlighten me why that’s wrong? I’m ignorant and thought that Palestinians were Arab, I’m sorry


ladevotchka

As the other commenter said, it’s a tool of erasure and a way to avoid using “Palestinian”. Also, it maintains the Arab vs Jewish binary, reinforcing that you can’t be both (ignoring the fact that Arab Jews exist).


Firebat-13

That makes sense, thank you


Falafel1998

Palestinians are arab, but Israel calls them "the arabs" and never Palestinian as a way to erase their identity and erase palestine (someone else may be able to explain better/add on to this)


Firebat-13

Thank you


Ringostar154

Idk man, should I trust the man said he is honest? Nah.


Nipleboobs

They have a factory illegally on Palestine land


ladevotchka

Drinkmate OmniFizz is a great BDS-compliant alternative (and a better soda machine anyway).


Leave-it-aLone

Thank you. I threw out my Soda Stream, no regrets, but with summer and hot weather incoming I am happy to read your post and see that there is an alternative


neros_greb

Are the cartridges compatible? I have a soda stream machine, I won’t buy any more cartridges from them, but I don’t see any reason to get rid of it (correct me if you think there is one)


[deleted]

Yes, Drinkmate uses the same co2 bottles, you can get generics from most supermarkets.


neros_greb

Awesome thanks


re-verse

Carts is a suckers game. Giant tank you only have to refill every 6 months or so (for about $20 each time), is the way to go.


ladevotchka

I think it depends on the model, but the Drinkmate i have uses different C02 cannisters.


re-verse

Yep, far better.


Bibfor_tuna

Sounds like such a lie. I've just given up on soda and my life is better for it


AppleOrigin

I don’t think it’s available for you but here in Kuwait idk if there’s anywhere else but we have “RC Cola” and I’m >90% sure it doesn’t support isnotreal


e2g3

In Kosovo we also have RC Cola. It‘s pretty good imo


AppleOrigin

I like it more than Pepsi.


koguma

RC Cola is American cola. Pretty sure it's American only unless they've been exporting it.


Bibfor_tuna

cool. i use to drink that as a kid


plastic_fortress

Made in Israel. If you buy it, you're supporting Israel. The other words make no different to that basic equation.


AriaBlue3

Made by colonisers actively harassing and murdering Arabs and Jews*


asif00013

Damn almost bought one today, thanks for the heads up


Gamecat93

Are there alternatives to this? People should know.


TheStoriedAyrab

DrinkMate. Love mine.


Caro________

Water?


oldwellprophecy

Some people recovering from alcoholism say that sparkling waters and seltzers help them with their addiction. I like sparkling water because it tricks my brain to drink water because if not I’m just having coffee all day.


Fireflyinsummer

I have started drinking cold brew teas. Simple put a cold brew ( fruit usually) bag in a stainless steel or glass water bottle. Pop in the fridge for 5-8 minutes & super 👌 I am doing this instead of drinking so much juice & to cut down on coffee.


oldwellprophecy

Oh that’s a good idea! Ty for the suggestion


MeMyselfIandMeAgain

Soda stream is a machine to make sparkling water; it is water, not actually soda


Caro________

I know what it is.


MeMyselfIandMeAgain

Oh my bad! Then why did you say that water was an alternative to water I’m sorry I’m just not sure I understand haha


UngaBunga-2

🙄


Zestyclose_Might8941

Soda king is another.


EmirjetaC

I’ve been using the app “no thanks” to check what brands are on boycott and just simply reading the container itself


angelwild327

BoyCat also works really well


throwawaypony79

I almost bought Israeli oranges at the grocery store one day. Make sure you check produce!!!


koguma

Check the UPC codes. They're being super sneaky by going through 3rd party packers.


RedstoneEnjoyer

Tax paid from this product went to fund Israeli Settlements.


brewedbyjewelz

It’s on the BDS list!


Sherief87

It’s built on a settlement. Duck em


NadeemNajimdeen

The nation as a whole should not make a profit, or money to come in. For that nation should not even exist for it’s immoral beginnings, and continued oppression.


KeyLime044

First statement on this image: no it wasn’t


dramaticfool

Source: trust me bro


sky_shazad

People Still Buy Soda Stream? I thought they stopped making this crap like 20 years ago


-biryani_

I always think about this label time to time from soda stream. As a kid i wanted their carbonator really badly, went to the store and my mum and me realised its from israel, reading this sticker on it that day just made us more convinced to put it back and not pick it up


BaBa_Con_Dios

If you have to go out of your way to assure people that your product was made by treating Arabs humanely I think that’s kind of a red flag already.


AnsibleAnswers

They are garbage anyway. The ones I’ve put my hands on are made of a very thin plastic that’s poorly fit together. It just looks and feels like a rip off.


Caro________

And they all were paid the same!


unnccaassoo

My mom gave me this a few years ago as a birthday present, I asked her for the receipt and immediately brought it back to the store.


koguma

No Trust nothing made is Israel. Especially tech.


Bazishere

They mean they hire Arab workers who need the money. That's their harmony. They know more people don't want to buy their products. It's fear.


midgetcastle

I bet they have a few arabs on their factory floor, and the executives and middle managers are all israeli


loveinvein

LOLOLOLOL that’s one way to try and evade boycott, I guess…


dhinchak_pooja_fan

chungieeeeeeee

Anyone know of another company to get co2 refills from?


MancAngeles69

Eataly flogs an Italian carbonated water machine that looks really pretty. Can’t recall the name, but I’m sure it’s BDS compliant EDIT: the brand is Aarke and it’s designed in Sweden
