While I’m generally skeptical of boycotts, BDS scares the shit out of Israel. Because I do believe if BDS becomes a global movement it really could change things. I’ll start with the list from bdsmovement.net and then add to the list as people list other companies to boycott in the comments:

Hewlett-Packard (computer hardware)

Siemens (tech conglomerate)

AXA (banking & insurance)

Puma (clothing)

Israeli fruits and vegetables (usually labeled)

SodaStream (idk that garbage home soda)

Ahava (cosmetics)

Sabra (hummus)

    I cannot comprehend that you moved FROM the keg setup to a soda stream. Do you still have the keg/CO2 tank? You can get soda bottle adapters that will let you do a smaller quantity. You should be able to make 2L in under a minute if you shake violently.

    You also can get bulk tank adapter hoses for the sodastream, if you really like that format.

    Edit: I was being rude and it was uncalled for

      lost the co2 tank in a move somehow. really dont know where it went, I was befuddled

      the rest of it I eventually got rid of. even with the water chilled (which is pretty inconvenient compared to instant carbonation at any temp) I couldn’t get strong carbonation even after shaking the thing for several mins which was a chore because it was a 1.75 gal mini keg. and nothing seemed to make it much better, lower temp or higher pressure or leaving it sit pressurized. Sodastream just worked, didnt require shaking or prechilling. If I hadnt lost the tank I would have eventually tried a different setup with a soapstone or whatever its called

      no worries on the rudeness.

      The form factor of the sodastream is nice, but I’m confused that a keg setup wasn’t getting the water fizzy enough. Getting a small adapter to transfer from a bigger tank to a sodastream canister is the simplest solution imo.
