Informative Commute

Last week on my commute into work I learned of 2 new things that I had been completely oblivious to:
1) Some genius created beer for dogs! Finally!! Wait. Seriously?? Dog beer??

Released first in Poland, this dog beer is made from "a special blend of beef extracts and malt, giving dogs that clean, crisp lager taste while adding some meaty goodness ." Check it out here.

Are you sold?

2) What about the SodaStream? Have you heard of this yet? "Turn water into fresh sparkling water and soda" - at home! OK - I hate to sound like a cynic ALL the time, but I'm not sold on this either! The benefits according to the website: no lugging, no storing, no empties, and great value! YAY!! ha ha.

You can find SodaStream at retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate & Barrel (for $149.95), Macys, Williams-Sonoma and Sur la Table (for $179.95)! The fact that it's at all of these places makes me think I must be missing something - so fill me in!

This bottle of cranberry-raspberry flavored soda mix makes about 33 cans and apparently has 2/3 less sugar than store bought soda..?

I'd be curious to hear what nutritional experts say about the stuff! For some reason the packaging for the soda flavor just makes me think of those nasty sugary kids goo candy things that Blockbuster always seemed to have..

Let me hear it! What do you know? What do you think?
