Lmfao now your talking!

If the ratios are off....no good!

And yes those little ice cubes they dilute nicely.....

Lol unlike the sewers..

[alchemytrader]

Oh yeah I love Coke better. Taste alot crisper but also more expensive. Been really getting into vanilla coke.

If I have to put ice in mine, yes, the ice to soda ratio has to be correct.

Not too much, not too little.

Also, I like the crushed cubes you would find at Sonic. You know the little ice chips...

I hear you can buy small ice makers for that type as well.

[Benwahsauce]

Lmao I’m actually a cherry coke fan.

My wife still thinks I’m little kid.....

But I’m glad you bring up I’ve as I had gotten Into an argument with somebody over “instructions”

On every can of Coke, it’s says to enjoy over ice. I feel like the ratio of ice in soda makes a huge difference in the flavor and is a must on sweeter sodas like the flavored kinds. But I’m curious what it tasted likenout of soda stream compared to fountain.

Plus fountain sodas needs special equipment too.... water filtration is huge on those things

[alchemytrader]

But wouldn't you think if everyone bought one of those machines, it will kill their can and bottle sales?

They would still make money off syrup pods, but still.

I don't think I would like it. You would need ice to get your soda cold which dilutes the flavor.

Nothing like cracking an ice cold cherry Pepsi can on a hot summer day.

[Benwahsauce]

Or Pepsi has the idea of making home Pepsi at home at some point.

I kinda thought that was a decent idea.

People like that weird shit now then show it off.

But the irony was I was correct in the buyout just need to see it come to life.

[alchemytrader]

I guess Pepsi was scared. Bought them and killed them

[Benwahsauce]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fool.com/amp/investing/2018/08/20/sodastream-sells-out-but-the-price-is-too-low.aspx

Sold out to Pepsi!

Twas a decent ride if your timing was good.

[alchemytrader]

i just saw an ad for this product and decided to look it up.

whatever happened here?

ticker change?

did they do private?

[Benwahsauce]

Well you pretty much answered your own questions with your rant.

And yes soda stream would benefit greatly from a licensing partnership with Pepsi so people can make their own sodas at home.

Just remember everybody though Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat....were all bad ideas until everybody started using them. Nowadays people like doing stuff to make themselves feel important.

Not to mention look at how keurig go big.....started with green mountain coffee and now they have a lock down on kcups.

Simple yet effective.

[SteveWin]

"Licensing.. that's where the money will be made..." Ok.. by who? Licensing what? If Pepsi buys SODA, is Pepsi going to license other companies to manufacture and sell the Sodastream hardware? Is Pepsi buying g SODA to get its hands on SODA's syrup recipes and names so it can license non-Pepsi syrups to other manufacturers?

Or, are you saying that SODA declines the sale, stays independent, and starts "making the money" by licensing it's hardware or syrup brands to other makers?

Yes, I've heard of licensing. Franchising too. But I don't see how they fit into SODA's current business model, or how a SODA acquisition enhances Pepsi's brand portfolio for licensing purposes.

[Benwahsauce]

Ummm complete waste of typing.


Ever heard of licensing?

That’s where the money will be made

[Benwahsauce]

This would have been phenomenal.

Dammit.

[Liam859]

Need to offer a bit more i think

[SteveWin]

I would vote against PepsiCo buyout. Here's why:

First, I must confess, I do not own any $SODA. I never considered it as an investment, because I was unimpressed by the concept from a consumer's standpoint. I FAILED to consider that other people (not as smart as me, maybe..) ARE buying the system, apparently in droves. My assessment that the initial and continuing price points were so high that I would need to drink a grossly unhealthy amount of their (purportedly "healthier", "better") soft drinks in order to save enough money (vs. buying BigCola in stores), SHOULD HAVE told me to buy in on the "ripping off consumers" side of the business. So.. I don't have a dog in this fight. No matter.

Here's the thing. Consider Keurig. You can get K-cups that are branded "Starbucks", and others branded "McCafe"(McDonalds). In the same way, you can now buy actual Pepsi syrup and use it with your Sodastream system to " make your own Pepsi at home". BUT... If Starbucks decided to buy out Keurig.. then the ONLY authentic K-cups you could get would be Starbucks cups. If you bought your Keurig in order to enjoy a variety of flavors from various small, independent roasters - to escape the limitations of buying from the few giants in the industry - that opportunity is lost if Keurig is absorbed by Starbucks. (In fact, Keurig version 2 machines have an infrared ink tag sensor to prevent them being used with "copycat" brewcups.) If Sodastream is absorbed by PepsiCo, all of the SS brand syrups would be replaced by Pepsi brand syrups - identical to the 3 and 5 gallon bag-in-box Pepsi syrups you can buy at Gordon Foods, but the retail size bottles will cost significantly more. A LARGE part of $SODA's marketing has been about having freedom and independence from the BigCola monopoly, and many SS system buyers liked that part of it. That is totally wiped out if SODA folds into PepsiCo - instead of SODA being a wild, free stallion roaming the prarie, it will be transformed into a blindered draft horse, pulling Pepsi's wagon where Pepsi wants it to go. It will become just another avenue to promote the Pepsi brands. That is the polar opposite of the philosophy which got SODA to where it is today - and that philosophy is largely the foundation of SODA's value. That value is completely lost if SODA becomes a unit of PepsiCo.

So.. this looks like a self-fulfilling prophesy.. whichever way the majority of SODA shareholders vote, is the "right" way to vote.. if $SODA shareholders decide to sell, PepsiCo's 3.2Bn wasted dollars will sit well in your accounts. If $SODA shareholders decide not to sell out, the company retains the business model which brought it here, and presumably the company continues to succeed, and possibly attracts a sweeter offer later. Maybe from Keurig. Who knows.

I would be voting "no sale", hoping for the latter outcome. If the vote turns out to be "sell", I'd DEFINITELY be looking for another company to come out with an "anti BigCola" home carbonation system, and I'd be investing there like I should have bought $SODA in 2016.

Sodastream Shareholders Upset Over Merger Bid - (via Business Journal)
August 20, 2018
Tags: NewsPoints Sodastream PepsiCo United States Corporate Affairs Mergers &
Acquisitions

A group of Sodastream International Ltd. shareholders are attempting
to block the $3.2 billion purchase of the company by PepsiCo

The shareholders allege that the purchase price of $144 per share is insufficient in light of the company's growth prospects, and that deal-protection clauses in the merger agreement preclude other
companies from submitting successful competing offers. In addition, shareholders allege that senior management obtained personal benefits for their own self interests in agreeing to sell the company that are not being shared with common stockholders.

Sodastream did not immediately respond to requests for a comment.

Sodastream for more information as to how you can participate with other shareholders for a higher price at no cost or expense call toll free 800.511.7037 or [e-mail]

Market Morning: Jackson Hole, Pepsi Buys SodaStream, Roundup Fallout Spreads, Korean Families Reunited – The Federal Reserve will have its annual symposium at that infamous hole, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, known primarily for hosting an annual Fed conference. Every word, facial expression, and awkward pause of every speaker will be analyzed on a quantum scale for any hints of future policy moves. The official topic of the conference will be the economic impact of enormous firms like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN). Based on what the market decides are the hidden messages within the speeches to be given at the conference, stocks are likely to move strongly in one way or another, provided that everyone agrees on what is being interpreted as what. Prepare your tea leaves.

SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA) reported Q1 EPS of $0.29, $0.18 better than the analyst estimate of $0.11. Revenue for the quarter came in at $100.9 million versus the consensus estimate of $89 million.

http://www.streetinsider.com/Earnings/SodaStream+%28SODA%29+Tops+Q1+EPS+by+18c/11608821.html

"Our first quarter results demonstrate that our growth plan, which centers on repositioning the SodaStream brand around sparkling water and building a stronger, more efficient organization, has started to take hold," commented Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. "Sales exceeded our expectations driven by strong gains in Europe as our new messaging fueled increased demand for sparkling water makers, gas refills and our enhanced flavor line in turnaround markets like France and the Nordics, while we experienced continued growth in our established countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. At the same time, our operating performance reflects the benefits from the consolidation of our manufacturing and logistics activities into our new state-of-the-art facility in Lehavim. We move forward focused on continuing to execute our growth plan including in the U.S. where our efforts are concentrated on developing the right marketing message and enhancing our in-store presence. We are confident that the work we are doing will lead to increased profitability and greater shareholder value over the long-term."
