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

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.

They taste great! I recommend using the amount that the bottle suggests at the beginning and then adjust it whether you want it sweeter or less sweet.

We love starry, but this is our first try with Pepsi. Same as others have reported, these seems to be a very obvious chemical taste. (It’s not my co2, specific to this flavor only.) Otherwise, it is what it says is it. Now for the title: I see far too many reviews of buyers who seem to be upset that this contains artificial sweeteners even though it isn’t specifically a diet or sugar-free item. Regular sodas contain SO MUCH sugar that 9L of mix would not physically fit in this bottle. Yes, this is a reformulation. It’s a compromise for the sake of saving space and producing a better mix/base ratio. Regular soda fountains mix at a ratio of around 1:5. That same ratio of full-sugar syrup would require almost 2L of concentrate to make the 9L of soda that these bottles claim to make. I’m not here to shill, but after seeing so many customers that come away with feelings of being swindled or misled, I just had to point this out. Keep this in mind for ANY soda mixes you buy: “regular” or “real” will be muuuch bulkier by necessity. TLDR: “real” soda has WAAAAY more sugar than you think

I was skeptical but turned out loving this stuff. I use close to half a capful and it’s spot on taste wise.

The Pepsi was perfect. It tastes just like you bought it at the store. The Starry was horrendous. It had an awful aftertaste - like a bad diet soda.

The product has been ruined by the addition of SUCRALOSE. That's fine if we're talking the "diet" version, but this wasn't. There was no warning that it would contain this ingredient not present in actual Pepsi or Starry (fountain or packaged). Mind you, the first ingredient remains sugar, so I'm not sure what the object here is--the product as sold, is (1) Not "Starry" and Not "Pepsi" because it doesn't follow the recipe of the real thing; (2) is not suitable for dieters or diabetics as it is mostly sugar, and (3) not suitable for those who hate the taste of artificial sweeteners, because they stuffed sucralose in there, too. Who it *is* for is unclear to me. Maddeningly, there are already *is* a zero-sugar formulation for those who want artificial sweeteners, so why on Earth would they include it in the regular version? The mind reels. Accordingly, there is a disgusting and bitter metallic aftertaste unavoidable when you use this chemical nonsense. If you want a chemical-tasting soda, this might work for you. If you want a drink that actually matches what is promised on the label, stay far, far away.

Had to try this and see if it tastes like store bought. I have a sodastream terra. I use filtered water as cold as I can get it without freezing. I like my water very fizzy. Terra instructions say up to 5 pumps, I do 6. Syrup instructions say to fill the cap up the middle line. Tried this, I thought the flavor was a bit weak. The next time, I tried a full cap full. Up to the line at the top of the cap. I thought this was very close to a store bought pepsi. I will be buying this again. Same for Starry. Full cap instead of half. I will buy again

These flavors are easily some of the better tasting Sodastream flavors and this pack of 4 is definitely worth it value wise!
