i rarely write about the girl on this site, mostly because she’s asked me not to. that being said, she got me the raddest birthday present ever… over two years ago she challenged me to stop drinking sugared sodas, which at the time i drank at a disgusting rate. i never had a soda again, and became hooked on seltzer. knowing that, and the fact that i’m a massive fan of all kitchen gadgetry, she surprised me with a soda siphon to make my own seltzer and sparkling water.
