Crap you don't need

I get a lot of holiday catalogs these days.

What makes me chuckle is the number of items in these catalogs that are completely stupid and unnecessary. (And usually pretty expensive for what you get.)

The most recent one came from the Macy's catalog.

It's a $100 (on sale--SAVE $40!) soda maker--I'm sorry, I mean SODASTREAM GENESIS.

How many liters of soda would you have to make with this thing to make it financially viable? Considering the fact that you also have to buy the soda syrups (also on sale!) at Macy's, my verdict is that you'd have to make more soda than you'd ever want to to make this thing worth it.

Also, I imagine that the fun would die after you made about six liters of soda. And then it would just be a job.

And who has the counter space for shit like this? 

This is fun! I'll keep my eyes open for more Crap You Don't Need.

Stay tuned.

    As much as I love to agree with you on EVERYTHING, I'm going to have to part ways on this one. As a sparkling water addict, these home soda makers actually appeal to me from an environmental perspective. I could easily go through a bottle or two of seltzer a day if it weren't for the eco-guilt. Agreed that $100 is steep, though.
