Tyler: *buys a drink carbonator* Also Tyler: "I'm just not going to use the carbonation."

To my mind, the biggest issue this has compared to a Sodastream, is that you're locked in to using their products.

I'm pretty sure that the "Splash" flavors are intended for the heavily carbonated water, basically resulting in a La Croix experience. You definitely need the bubbles when the flavor is so subtle

Just watched a man make drinks with a ninja for 22 minutes...and I enjoyed it...what a day to be alive

The idea of trying flavors designed for a soda maker without the carbonization is wild to me. Like the flavor designers have created these flavors with the carbonic acid from the carbonization factored in, so they're going to taste significantly different and likely worse. Have you ever had flat coke? That's basically what you're doing to these flavors.

Tyler using this machine like a 180 dollar water flavoring pouch.

Gotta laugh at how Tyler says its nasty, but yet goes and tries it again, pure dedication. Brilliant video again. Thanks for the awesome content.

Your favorite one was the most carbonated. You need that carbonation to help enhance the flavor.

The splash favors are for adding a “splash” of flavor to another flavor. Like cherry with lemonade, or strawberry with watermelon

Tyler there's a pickle pod your missing out on lol :)

The splash flavors are probably made to be carbonated to make a no calorie drink but also, I bet they might be good if you mix with other flavors.

The seriousness that Tyler said "I'm doing both of them, DOUBLE PUMPED" mad me laugh pretty good

Tyler, you have to use the carbonation on the splash ones. Its supposed to be like the sparkling water

One of the biggest issues I have with such tools like that is: Reinventing the wheel. Remember soda streams "Syrup bottles?" They've got tiny, small, and large bottles that you could pick yourself how much taste you want. You could also just pour it into a glass and drink flat. This one has specially shaped containers for their proprietary system. You can't just drink it as is, you must use the machine that costs nearly 200 bucks. PLUS the CO2 cannister is also branded. So I'm assuming that one also has a proprietary nozzle connector, so you have to use the Ninja™ bottle. Why not just create syrup bottles with the tastes you want and write on the label "Best if consumed carbonated ;)!" But then they can't charge you nearly 200 bucks for a machine, more $ for the proprietary syrup pods and more $ for the proprietary gas cannister. So just making yummy tastes isn't lucrative.

There's a word for a super weak flavor.... I believe it's "essence". I could be wrong 🤣🤣

Never used anything Ninja before my sister bought me a Ninja Foodi for my Birthday. I love that thing. It works as a grill, air fryer, oven, all on my countertop.

That's too much work. I'll just keep buying soda. LOL

What I love about this channel is that you have the most basic man using the most basic terms and language to describe things that you can understand it and get a feel of the product

This is an elaborate way to get squash... I can get a litre of concentrate for 50p and tap water is basically free 😅

You should try all of them mixed together with the highest carbonation setting. LoL 😂

Basically a big, expensive toy you will get tired of.

I love this video. The ole "You can spend your money on this crap if you want" energy is high. I watched a bunch of clearly "bought" videos about the Thirsti that were lightweight nonsense, marvelling at how great it was. This is literally the first video I've watched that is a clear "no", even if it isn't saying that. Anyone who watches this and buys it afterwards, has it coming.

the way we could just hear the ping pong balls in the background when he threw the box😆😆

My mind says slap vodka in the container and make a cool party set piece that mixes easy drinks

On the Amazon site it shows the water reservoir with ice in it. So maybe you can just dump water and ice into the reservoir when you're ready to make drinks.

My guess is the splash ones need to be carbonated that might explain why they taste so bad maybe you should give them a second test but carbonated.

Would have liked to see the comparison between carinated and non-carbonated for each flavor. Why buy a carbonator if you don't try it??

20:41 Tyler was definitely right with this because it doesn’t even mix them at the same time. It is one at a time. So you could just make one and add the second one kind of how I do with my coffee pods. I like to mix my hazelnut Dunkin’ with French roast.

If you aren't going to use the C02 you might as well buy bottles of Crystal Light drops.

Tyler bringing joy to my Saturday nights keep up the great work

So it's basically a Mio fountain

Dude. You need to test the flavors carbonated and not carbonated. I think the flavors change. I love your videos.

FYI - you can get your co2 canisters refilled locally for way cheaper at sporting goods stores/etc. I’d recommend buying two canisters and just refilling them one at a time as they run out.

Defeats the purpose of it if you dont carbonate the water they make flavorings you can just add to water and you get to choose the concentration

I love this channel, just a good time. “Something that kinda almost resembled a little bit something like a lemon” cracked me up😂

This entire video reminds me of a joke my friend told me about La Croix Banana flavored sparkling water. "Try La Croix Banana. We painstakingly can our water near bananas for that authentic flavor"

I think the splash is meant for either heavy carbonation so its just basically sparkling water with that bit of flavor and/or its meant as an aftertaste or just hint on top of the other flavors. Like a splash of lemon to go with your energy mix.

Tyler claiming he doesnt like carbonation yet drinks Mt. Dew, the most carbonated soda

I liked your description of the splash flavors. Pesticide. 🤣

4:47 That thing sounded like it was GASPING for air 💀💀💀

Tyler on those splash flavors: Bold and brash? more like, BELONGS IN THE TRASH!

I think what you were trying to say is “someone ate a pound of 🍋lemons and farted into my mouth “- lemon tart 😂

I think the extra carbonated drinks increase the level of flavour. But who buys a carbobated drinks maker when they don't like carbonated drinks? So basically, it's a machine that puts concentrate and water together. I have something that does that, my hands, and they didnt cost me $180.

I was thinking, try using vodka or rum instead of water lol. I would. Love the vids bro, keep ‘em coming.

There needs to be a pickle flavored pod just for Tyler.

The ninja creami ice cream maker is just spectacular I love ours.

So did the math, it's $0.35 + the co2 per 12oz drink. Since he didn't state how many cups the co2 can make, I'm going to assume about $0.10-$0.15 per cup. So you end up saving something like $0.20 per cup vs an average can of coke last I priced them

16:25 lol that face you made 😂.

The way he describes things always gets me😂

Good point about the flavors being mixed already!

My air fryer makes the same beeping noises as this machine

i think the solution for the ones that aren't very strongly flavored would be to have 2 of the same flavor and combo them at max concentration, that should improve. as for the water thing, people keep jugs of water in the fridge, you'd just have to use that water to fill that up. some fridges have that little tap on the front that dispenses water, so you could also use that to fill it up, you wouldn't need to keep the thing itself in the fridge

"This tastes like a dog vomited on a pile of dog crap". *Takes another sip*

In my country offbrand co2 canisters when replaced in store refill scheme costs around $4 cheapest. Even the "official" Sodastream replacement ones are $10. That Ninja canister looks exactly like standard co2 canister. You'd have to be a fool to use their canisters.

Try mixing them. That’s why this is so good. I love the mixing of it.

Maybe you should try it with alcohol like vodka or something

Man the crickets where going wilde at 2:20

I only drink carbonated water with dilutes because drinking flat liquid makes me feel sick. When you talk about how the carbonation feels in your throat, that's what I want most! 😅

“Island mango” *crickets* 😂😂

He completely looked over one of the main benefits- less waste. He’s such a jackwagon.

12:58 lmao i always crack up at his animations

I can't believe they did not have his favorite flavor of pickles!

Loved watching this video thank you for filming and sharing this video you describe the experience with using the Ninja Thirsti

I myself use multi vitamins and minerals flavor tablet from the drugstore. You just drop it in regular or carbonated water and ready. They have around 10 flavours and 20 tablets cost me 60 cents a set. Each flavor cartridge is said to provide about 20 12-oz drinks. This amounts to about 35 cents per drink for the flavors, and another 30-35 cents for the CO2 canister, making each drink around 60-65 cents, not including the initial cost of the unit itself. You also locked into this system as you can only use their cartridges.

that thing carbonating the drinks is the funniest thing I've ever heard🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

The peel of lemons are used in all kinds of dishes, Tyler. Its called the zest.

I like heavy carbonation, but this gadget would just cost too much to get refills for. You can get an adapter for a Soda Stream that uses full size tanks of CO2 which cuts the expense to next to nothing. No need for silly flavor pods either.

I’m amused how many different blenders can be made and people will buy all of them.

Great review Tyler!

Maybe the splash flavors are just like the splash name says to give one of the other flavors a "splash" of whatever flavor the splash flavor is. Try it that way and see if it's better

Bought a whole bag in box of cherry Pepsi syrup on Amazon like restaurants use not cheap but getting to adjust your water to syrup mix is amazing.

That Ninja CO2 canister is the same size as Soda Stream or the even way cheaper Indigo canisters which I believe are only available in Canada.

I think it's funny Ninja uses the same beep for everything. I know it's part of branding but it sounded just like their air fryer and threw me off lol

My local paintball shop refills my CO2 , but I also have the original machine, but it's worth checking out and only cost me $7.

"Anything unsweetened and has like "fruit essence" has never been really good." There goes those Air-Up advertising dollars...

I prefer my Soda Stream. I have three bottle that I keep filled with water in the Frig, so there is to tank to fill with cold water. Plus Soda Stream makes a liter. Be a pain to make just a glass full each time.

The peach mango & lemonade sounds delicious 😋

A really expensive Kool-Aid dispenser with a soda option

Strawberry kiwi with watermelon lime actually sounds amazing

The name Ninja Thirsti sounds like something a toddler ninja would say 😂

God dammit Tyler i f#cking love u first 6 seconds in the vid i break out in laughter.

Hey Tyler, carbonation allows both scent and flavor to be more recognized via the bubbles that bring them both towards your nose and the back of your pallet

wow that looks like 200 times more expensive than just buying flavored water

There are different types of lemons. The drink he didnt like was probably made to resemble citrus lemons, whoch taste like drain cleaner. The lemonade probably tasted more like eurika lemons, which are more comon in the US.

Tyler: *Doesn't add carbonation.* "For some reason, all this soda tastes flat."

Can someone explain to me how this is different from the flavor things you can buy like Mio? Can't you just buy those and put them in your water? I keep seeing this thing featured on peoples' channels and they're all about it and I'm thinking 'Okay, but it's just dumping flavor into water and then maybe carbonating it, do you really need this big machine for that?' Is there something I'm missing?

I feel like the splash ones are intended to be mixed with other pods like adding a “splash” of strawberry to the lemonade to make strawberry lemonade.

...Just buy some lime juice, or lemon juice, and add some of that to tap water. That seems to work excellently for me, when I want flavoured water. If I want it cold, I'd also add ice cubes, or perhaps stick the bottle of plain water in the fridge first.

Can't wait for the second channel video where you try all the available flavors.

Listening to that thing run really makes me have to pee. Lol 😂

Tyler said unsweetened "fruit essence" sounds like it sucks! AIR UP says "step into my office".

You actually save a bunch of money in the long run. You’re making drinks for Pennie’s on the dollar. You can make 25 drinks with one pod. And the co2 last up to 60 drinks.

They would probably taste better if you use the double and a 12 oz. You are using a double Oz inside a 6 oz that is probably why you don't like them as much. Some of them need carbonation as well

I think Tyler keeps forgetting that the splash flavors are supposed to be an essence of the fruit but not taste like the fruit

if i had to go back an forth to the fridge with that container i might aswel make a jug of one flavor and keep that stored. especially if its not going to be carbonated.

Did you do the ninja Creami yet? That looks interesting to make ice cream...

That has the exact same beep as our Ninja indoor air grill.

The world is turning into hell with global warming and plastic polluting the oceans. Most companies trying to avoid waste. Then, there is Ninja with "Plastic waste? Hold my beer!". Besides capsule coffee makers, this thing is ranked #2 on the list of "You really should avoid".

You can save tons of money by focusing your efforts on the CO2... buy an attachment hose so you can hook up to a bigger co2 tank that you can refill at your local store. Saves you hundreds of dollars per year if you drink a lot of carbonated beverages. 😀

The only mixed flavors that might work is lemonade and something else, since you can make almost anything into a lemonade if you know what you like, problem is that's trial and error and with the cost of this thing you really don't want to waste a flavor.
