    BenSpark’s Refreshing Soda-Club Contest…

    By User ImageDrew | June 4, 2007

    After winning the One for Me, One for You contest that Christine sponsored my mind began to think about a contest that I could sponsor. I sent out an e-mail to all of my contacts asking them to vote for me in the contest and one contact was Kristin from Soda-Club. Kristin read this blog and saw that I wanted to do a contest of my own so she proposed that I work with Soda-Club on a contest.

    I am very excited to tell you that I am sponsoring a contest along with the folks at Soda-Club. They have agreed to donate the first, second and third prizes for this competition.

    Soda Club USAFirst prize will be a Soda-Club Home Soda Maker either an Edition 1 (black/silver) or the Fountain Jet (white) and supplies – winner’s choice on model. Second place gets a BYOS package (Bring Your Own Seltzer) which includes a sample pack of flavors and a stainless steel mixing bottle. Third Prize would be a Pint Glass with the Soda-Club logo.

    I own a Soda-Club Home Soda Makerand have had one for some time. I enjoy using it and my friends have enjoyed the benefit of my having the flavors that they like most on hand when they come to my house. I enjoy the convenience of having the soda maker in my own home. I also am enjoying the added health benefits of Soda-Club soda. Yes, I said health benefits. Soda-Club soda has less sugar than regular soda and their Diet versions are made with Splenda. This is very important to me because I have had to cut regular soda from my diet and had a hard time finding soda sweetened with Splenda and I did not want to add aspartame to my diet. Sure there are some brands out there that have Splenda but not enough and not in as many flavors as Soda-club has.

    On to the contest. Below there is a video that I produced that talks about some of the benefits of Soda-Club soda makers. Watch it and then follow the steps below the video to participate in the contest.

    How to Enter the contest

    Step 1: Write a 200 word post about what you think the most beneficial part of owning a Soda-Club Home Soda Makerfrom Soda-Club would be. If you go above and beyond in your entry say, include your own video, photos or original content then you may attract more voters.

    Step 2. Embed the video above into your post.
    Step 3. Use this link http://www.sodaclubusa.com/default.htm with Soda-Club as anchor text when referring to Soda-Club.
    Step 4. Link to this post using the anchor text BenSpark’s Refreshing Soda-Club Contest.
    Step 5. Leave a comment on this post with a link to your contest entry post.
    Disclaimer: The contest is only open to those who live in the continental US. Sorry overseas friends and those who live in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. If you win you will need to supply your mailing address to receive your winnings. And that is all it will be used for.

    Complete Product Family

    You will have two weeks to get your entries in to me. (8:00am June 4, 2007 - 8:00pm June 16, 2007) I will then put up a new post with a list of all the contest participants and voting can take place (8:00am June 18, 2007 - 8:00pm June 29, 2007). You (your friends, family and the world) may each vote once a day for 2 weeks.

    Publicize your post, get as many people to vote for you as you can. Encourage friends and family to vote, encourage others to enter. You have a chance to win one of the most economical and earth friendly devices on the planet. Spread the word.

    This contest is sponsored in part by Soda-Club. I received some bottles of syrup for the filming of the video. The Penguin is my personal soda maker that I purchased and so are all bottles and carbonators. Soda-Club is supplying the prizes for the contest.

      Hi Ben, great idea for a contest. Is it possible to create sodas with flavorings that are non-soda club ingredients? Can you use actual fresh squeezed fruit juice?

      Hi Heidi,

      You can make your own carbonated water and add whatever juices you would like to the water. Just don’t put anything other than water in the bottles. I but the flavoring in first once and then carbonated it. It was like that Simpson’s episode when Bart shook a beer can up on Homer and it exploded like crazy. Yeah I had soda everywhere. It was my first time and I didn’t read the directions.

      But to answer your question you can add whatever you would like to the water after you cardonate it.
