SodaStream® Pepsi® Starry® Beverage Mix Variety Pack (440ml, Pack of 4)

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this soda syrup tastes! I’ve tried a few different flavors and brands for making soda at home, and this one has really stood out. It has a crisp, clean flavor that’s remarkably close to what you’d get in a store-bought can—if not better. Honestly, if I didn’t know it was homemade, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.It mixes really well with carbonated water and has the perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering. I love that I can adjust the intensity to my own preference by simply adding more or less syrup. It gives me total control, which is a huge plus compared to pre-packaged drinks.It’s also a great value considering how many servings you can get from one bottle, and the convenience of making soda on demand at home is unbeatable. It’s become a staple in our house, especially when we want a fizzy treat without all the additives or waste from cans and bottles.If you’re into using a SodaStream or similar system, this syrup is definitely worth trying. Great taste, great value, and a fantastic way to cut down on store runs. Highly recommend!

Easily one of the best sodastream flavors on offer. Even though there's zero sugar, it still manages to capture that almost sickeningly sweet cherry sensation. The quality is indistinguishable from pre-bottled to me, and avoids that weird taste some sodastream flavors tend to have.Be careful when pouring the syrup to tilt both the carbonated bottle and syrup towards each other to try to avoid it fizzing up too much. This syrup likes to trigger explosive fizz if you try to pour it in too quickly.

One bottle arrived leaking, but the others were good. I have the Sodastream Terra which gives me good fizz. I really like the Pepsi Zero. I like that I can control the level of sweetness. I don't drink soda often, and I will consider these a treat. I gave these four stars because there is a slight aftertaste, but they are still good flavors.

These SodaStream Pepsi Beverage Mixes are an absolute game-changer! Being able to make my own Pepsi at home is not only convenient but also saves me a ton of money—I no longer have to keep buying packs or two-liters every few weeks.When they were temporarily unavailable on Amazon, I was genuinely disappointed and even stocked up from other retailers just in case. I’m so glad they’re back and now a regular part of my subscription.A heads-up: the flavor is noticeably sweeter than regular Pepsi, likely due to the sweeteners instead of corn syrup, but I actually prefer it this way. If you love Pepsi and own a SodaStream, these are a must-have!

I was really impressed with how close this tastes to regular bottled Pepsi Zero. It mixes up easily with my SodaStream and has the same flavor and fizz I was hoping for.Definitely a great way to save money and avoid hauling cases of soda home. Will keep buying for sure.

Me and my sister bought this because we were spending a lot of money on soda for a family of 4. I came across this pack on Amazon. Everywhere else in the major stores that sell Sodastream products cost way much more! This pack saved us a lot of money on soda and lasted us 3 months of making liters daily. I also recommend if you use your Sodastream often, get a Brita filter pitcher to save on water. The flavors are a greta choice for dark and clear soda lovers. I usually use half way of the measure cup with 4 pumps of C02 for optimum accuracy of authentic flavor. I will say it slightly taste like diet soda but all of the Sodastream flavors taste like that unless you go online and buy the soda syrup they sell for machines you see in fast food restaurants. Theones for soda stream with real sugar are really expensive I will say after research.Overall, I reccommend this set to save money by stocking up or if you have a large family of soda lovers.

The first thing I noticed after mixing this according to the instructions was to grab the bottle and take a second look. I was certain I had ordered regular Pepsi -- Not Diet Pepsi.And, I was right, it didn't say "Diet Pepsi", yet why did it have that weird aftertaste like diet sweeteners that almost makes your eyeballs hurt?Sure enough, after I looked at the ingredients, I found the culprit:SUCRALOSE -- why, why, why?I've been to restaurants and ordered a fountain Pepsi that had the same flavor a few times. Not all the time, but every once in a while, I get one where I have to send it back. You can usually tell by the amount of foamy/fizzy -- Diet Pepsi foams *much* less than regular, which causes it to look darker in the cup.My guess is that some cheaper formula syrup is marketed by Pepsi for those places because it's just cheaper to produce with replacing some of the sugar with Sucralose -- and I'm also guessing that just enough people don't notice it or care about the artificial taste that they can get away with it.Depending on the specific drink or food, I might not notice it as much, but I can definitely taste it in Pepsi -- because I know what to expect and getting that bitter-sweet smack in the face that I get from the Sucralose makes it that much worse because I taste it with *every* sip, and cringe.I tried adding sugar and some light corn-syrup to mask the annoying Sucralose taste, but it's still there -- so that didn't mask it.I had read that adding salt to coffee will reduce the bitterness -- and that does work for coffee.But the Sucralose isn't so much a bitter taste as an acrid or "false" taste sensation that I can detect. Because I had bought the 4-pack and didn't want to waste it, I tried adding all of these:Torani Cinnamon SyrupLemon JuiceCherry flavoringSaltTorani Salted Caramel Syrup - (the worst, btw).Nothing worked to offset the taste.There aren't any other Pepsi-brand options that are made for the smaller home soda-machines, unless you want to by a 3-gallon box of syrup for about $150 that is made for restaurants and way overpricedI'm almost tempted to buy it, but then what if it's the same nasty sucralose formula as this product? I'd be out $150 and have 3 gallons of syrup to dump.The bottle says "Special Soda Stream only formula" -- which means "We cut corners on this to save a few bucks and cut down on the shipping weight."This is a terrible excuse for the regular Pepsi formula. If you like Diet Pepsi, then this might work, but then you'd still have the sugar. If you don't have sensitive taste-buds, then maybe this would be okay for you.But if you don't like the nasty aftertaste of Sucralose (Splenda-brand-name), then stay away from this. There are others that might not be exactly Pepsi, but Pepsi-with-Splenda is worse than any other cola that doesn't use artificial sweeteners.So, lesson learned. I'll be checking the ingredients when I buy pre-made syrups.Don't get me wrong, I really like Pepsi with sugar and even with the high-fructose-corn-syrup. I don't like Diet Pepsi -- even though I have friends who say, "You get used to it." -- buy why? Why would I want to do that when the real stuff exists for the same price?Overall, only one-star because zero-stars are not possible.
