I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It's such a small specific thing, one I'd never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now.

What are your small, "random" or "junk drawer" type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?

I can't agree more! I have tried both soda stream and drinkmate and would recommend the drinkmate. It's just better, you can fizz juice and non-water drinks. Soda stream is also a consumer boycott target if you don't want to support the genocide in Palestine. 😬

I've been wanting to get one for forever, but was told you couldn't carbonate non water drinks, and to mix flavor into the carbonated water (which, to my thinking, would make it go flat...). In the drink mate, could I make Kool aid (with Splenda) and carbonate that? Cause if I can have fizzy cherry drink, I'll be a happy boy.

I have a Soda Stream and use powders. The trick is to turn your powder into a “syrup” first.

Mix your powder with 1-2 oz of water, stir it well (I use a hand held milk frother), and then put that into your bubbly water.
