Hi! I've my anxiety that I've been quenching with sodas but I'd like to move away from anything America branded overall into some local alternatives. What are some soda alternatives 100% EU?

MySoda answered my email and told the following shops: Marktkauf, Kaufland, Rossmann, DM, Lidl. And they mentioned www.sodataste.comย and www.sodalivery.com as further online sources for CO2.

Then, they also mentioned CO2 cylinders by Wassermaxx and Aldi being compatible (beside "basically all cylinders", with practically the only exception being that most Sodastream cylinders are incompatible), and from the existence of Aldi cylinders I'll venture to make a guess that Aldi has them as well ๐Ÿคช And since we've now covered Lidl, Red Netto and Aldi, I'd be surprised if Penny Markt didn't have the same as well. The dog Netto usually has nothing anyway, so probably not this service either?

Anyway, doesn't seem to be an insurmountable problem in Germany at all!

Penny would only have them if Rewe has them, they belong to the same company
