sodastreamBubly Fruit Drops for Sparkling Water | Natural Fruit Flavor | Zero Calories, No Sweeteners | Create Your Own Bubly with SodaStream | Variety Pack, Bubly Original, Pack of 6 | 8 Fl Oz

I am a big fan of flavored seltzers but after disappointing experiences with 3 different Soda Stream carbonators I switched to the Ninja Thirsty. The only problem is I hate the Ninja flavors. To me they taste like licking a gas tank. The Soda Stream Bubly flavoring liquid solved that. I also purchased some 3cc syringes which fit perfectly in the neck of these bottles. I add 2 cc of flavoring to 6 oz of water. Perfect!

Love the flavor assortment! The quality of the flavor is the best fruity option I've used to date with my Soda Stream. Flavoring my 32oz tumbler is very simple, with just a quick splash of the desired flavor. The price is reasonable and for the quality/flavor you are getting, I would say you're getting more value than other off brand options which are half the cost. My only suggestion, I would love a dispenser or pour tip of some sort with a way to measure out a serving easily. The caps are just screw on, you will need to eyeball your pour or get a measuring spoon out which I did at the beginning, but like most people I got tired of finding it, washing it, and just started eyeballing a quick splash/pour.

This is my new favorite flavor! It's so good. 😋

I've had a soda stream since Christmas (love it!) but only recently purchased the seltzer flavors. Each bottle costs between $5 to $6 for the consumer, and given the small volume, that seems a bit steep. However, if you enjoy flavored seltzer water, it really is a good value. A 12 pack of seltzer can cost between $4 (store brand) and $8+ (Bubly, Polar). Each bottle provides you about 8 to 10 liters of seltzer, making the flavor worth the purchase. On to the features!1. Flavor - the best thing is that you can flavor to taste. If you don't like a lot, don't add a lot. And they taste just like you would expect. Only issue - cherry tastes like...well...cherry. I've found it very difficult to have an un-sweet cherry drink that doesn't end up with a chemical, almost medicinal flavor.2. Value - better than purchasing it by the can, but I genuinely wish there were more options. I like the Bubly flavors, but there is little to no competition for the flavor bottles - at least here on Amazon. I did check out other vendors (including Bubly) and found the pricing for this specific product to be similar. I'm rating it at a three due to the consumer's ability to simply add their own fruit juice without having to buy the syrup bottles. Before purchasing these (and sometimes after) I would simply add lime or lemon juice, and it tasted fine. My son even prefers it that way.3. Easy to Use - No. Sure, all you have to do is measure, but who has a 3/4 tsp measuring spoon? Additionally, why would I want to measure every time? I imagine it would be simple enough to put marks on the bottles themselves to indicate one "serving" of the syrup. This may just be a personal preference, but even without the marks on the bottle why isn't just one measurement (i.e. 1/4tsp or even 1 tsp)? Even better - a recommendation from the manufacturer to start with 1/2tsp and then flavor to taste? It's not like we're adding calories, carbs, or fat. Just flavor.

These have a more subtle flavor and took a getting used to, but I like the flavors and they last a long time.

Taste is great.

Because the current website description under ingredients says, "No calories. No sweeteners. Natural Flavor Essence" I assumed this company was telling the truth - this would be natural flavors in water only. Surprise! And not a good one: this product is mostly PROPYLENE GLYCOL (same chemical used in antifreeze).Instead of a nice, water base only formula, Soda Stream has made nasty chemical junk. I never would have bought it if they had honestly listed ALL their ingredients. In fact NOWHERE on their Amazon ad do they anywhere note this is PROPYLENE GLYCOL.Put this nasty stuff in the water and it makes an oily look as it dissolves in the water. It leaves an alcohol/chemical smell above the water, and has almost no taste. But the taste and lack of quality of flavor is not my objection - it is the failure of Soda Stream to honestly state its ingredients.Worse - this product is not returnable, and even after speaking to Amazon - which involved time - I was not able to get a full refund of what I paid. I have thought of buying a Soda Stream system, but now I would not trust this company's description of anything.I was looking for a replacement for Stur - the expensive but much better flavoring - and hoping this might work. I had tried SweetLeaf's Water Drops - but they also have nasty thick propylene glycol in their water flavoring, and I dislike the alcohol smell that hits the nose in an unnatural way.The liquid in the 3 bottles of this Bubly chemical garbage are going right down the sink.And I feel sorry for the sink.I am still waiting for a good competitor that is close to as good as Stur on its ingredients, taste and appearance in the glass, and better on the price.I will add - this product (if someone wanted this bad taste and smell in their water) would also be hard to measure - no dropper.I hope the Soda Stream company will soon put up a COMPLETE list of their ingredients on Amazon, so others hoping to avoid propylene glycol won't waste either their time or money.

I didn't notice anywhere in the description that these drops contain propylene glycol as the sweetener, so I wasn't thrilled to see that on the individual box ingredients when they arrived. Otherwise, the taste is pretty good. They are closer to the real fruit flavors (less sweet) than most I've tried, which is a nice change. Using the little bottles without poring too much is a challenge - I see why others have bought droppers. As it's a known issue, I would think the manufacturer would look at a redesign by now. Thus I will enjoy the box I purchased, but because of these two concerns I don't think I'll purchase these again.
