Be Excellent To Each Other

Your whole sentence read aloud sounded like a Black Country dialect

I'm surprised that no one else has had questions.

I Googled 'soda stream gravy' this afternoon, if that counts?

Soda steam gravy new band name, called it

I do, but look where that got me earlier.

Go on...

I think he wants to know what fizzy gravy and Assassin's Creed have in common.

The way they pronounce nearly everything is wrong.

Is it 'nearloi uverythoing'?

If I hear "it's feckin boogered" shouted across the office too many more times I may lose the will to live.

OK, I'll bite: fizzy gravy? What in the hell?

I like Bovril at rugby matches, always wondered if it would be good fizzy..

what

Yup.

You're like the savoury ying to Rev Stu's demented sugary yang.

I'm keen to hear the answer - is fizzy Bovril good? Is it even possible? It's a real cliffhanger if ever I saw one.

(I'm guessing that no, it's not good)

I remember us getting a Soda Stream in the 1980's. We were quite surprised as my parents were quite strict with us over sweets and sugar.

So of course we went nuts and then I remember the syrup never really getting replaced regularly aside from Christmas. Then after a few years the soda stream was put in the garage.

Reckon my Dad must have liked the idea of the gadget then realised it wasn't a good fit with the household sugar rules!

Not bought one yet...

This clip, from 1:45 to 3:20, sums soda streams up for me. We knew someone who had one when we were kids but never had one ourselves.

We had a Soda Stream when I was a kid. It was shit.

Jack Dee sums it up:

Yup.

I think as a kid the promise in your head is of this unlimited fizzy pop fountain in your house. It was never going to pan out that way.

We had one. I think one of my dad's mates gave it to him. We only ever had one gas bottle though. I think my dad used to use it when he was home brewing to pressurize the big plastic keg things. I think.

True story.

See also Mr Frosty.

Say whut?

Mr Frosty is the awesomez. It's pretty much the entire reason I had a child.

Edit: does that make it sound like my child's father is a snowman? Maybe.

It promised so much slushy refreshment... but failed to deliver.

"Do you like Slush Puppies? / Pop?"
"YES. YES WE DO"
"Would you like to make them in your own home?"
"YES. YES WE WOULD"
"Well you can't. Here is a completely pale imitatiion because why would you be able to replicate something created on an industrial scale with a £20 bit of plastic really?"

Because you'd do it at a tiny scale? You can easily make slush puppies at home if you have the right kit (and some syrup).

Or you can just shake up a bottle of fizzy drink and freeze it.

You're still hurting about Sheeran. I'm not listening to you - only Doc G.

Lidl had one in for £16.99 with two bottles. Argos, do a gas exchange for £12.99. so will work out £12.99 for 60l of water.

Tempted to get another so have spare glass and 2 more bottles.

Wait I only just saw this

What is happening

Is it just like supermarket sparkling water then?

Yup. But a lot less waste.

Fewer

Might look into it!
