I'm actually dreading the day that I go to the store and find that my favorite soda syrups have been discontinued. I prefer diet sodas over coffee for my daily caffeine intake. I started using a SodaStream a couple years ago, and I've come to really enjoy a few of the flavors that they offer, but some of them are already completely impossible to get anymore. This seems mostly due to them being acquired by Pepsi, and…
Wait, when was SodaStream acquired? Last I knew they were a publically traded company.
They have not been acquired by Pepsi. SodaStream has a distribution deal with Pepsi.

Given you drink diet sodas, you must care about your health, but drinking diet sodas is more unhealthy than coffee. For one, you're clearly concerned about sugar intake (and you should be), but you see one problem with our sugar intake is that it makes our taste buds tolerant to sugar, so in time it dulls our senses for fruits or milk or other healthy foods with naturally occurring sugar. And the problem is that arti…
It'd be cool if they published it on GitHub and allowed people to improve or adapt the recipe with PRs. Bit tenuous, but...
I really like the way the community does it with Soylent (https://diy.soylent.com/recipes). Would love to see a community get behind something like this with Cola and improve on it / come up with variations.
There is a "base" recipe and people experiment, publish their own spin (ie we could see a cherry cola, vanilla, etc) people up vote it and the cream rises to the top and you get some great recipes.

Actually, this is scientifically wrong.
The myth that artifical sweeteners are a bad as sugar has been disproved some time ago.
For the harm, e-smoking may pose, one cannot really tell. However, the sole intake of nicotine is not as harmful as smoking tobacco. This difference is mostly due to the presence of MAOI in tobacco.
Citric acid actually is worse than phosphoric acid, but how many sirups are made with citric acid? Also, if you limit your intake, you should be fine. Alas most juices comprise in part of citric acid.

Ecigarettes are actually better for you than real ones, and not only that, they basically make it easier to quit using nicotine altogether (according to reports I've seen).
This is such a cool idea. Since distribution is the real secret behind the success of Coca Cola and the beverage giants, I bet this would pair well with a Dollar Shave Club type of business model. Deliver a crate of Open Cola to people every month. Undercut the outrageous markups the big guys apply to fizzy sugar water in order to maintain their distribution monopoly. Pass the savings along to the customer. Heavy cola drinkers would love it. Massive and global market.
Need to figure out what to do about the product getting a bit shaken up in the mail though :)

MAOIs in tobacco are thought to contribute to addiction, not harm. The carcinogenic parts are the smoke, and the tobacco-specific nitrosamines formed during the curing process.
