If there's one thing the people here at the office know about me is that I'm one
thirsty boy. Uh which is why they got me to host this video about the Ninja
thirsty. I haven't done any other Ninja
uh products on this channel. So I'll have no context for that, which is fine
because I have a Ninja blender at home and I think this is about the same. It
works the same, right? So, if you have no idea what this product is, it's
essentially does the same thing as products like SodaStream or Drink Mate.
It carbonates liquid. I think most of
the time water. Has anyone tried it with milk? Actually, before I take things out
of the box here, I just want to the This This is one of the busiest product boxes
I've seen in quite some time. They're really trying to to get at you with
these colors. Like, look, you can make all these drinks and all these juices.
20 plus flavors across four drink lines.
I don't even know there were drink lines and now I there's four zero calories,
zero sugar. You can make sparkling or still, which seems like you would be
able to do the second one without this, but okay. Uh four drink sizes combo any
two flavors. That's just a real life thing with flavors. However, the thing
that is sort of interesting about the Ninja Thirsty versus some of the other
options out there are that this lets you
pour the carbonated water directly into a cup instead of carbonating like a
bottle and then having to pour from the bottle into the cup. It sucks. That's
the worst. Okay. And with that, let's open it up. Combo, create, enjoy, share.
They're just really trying to get you stoked for this. So many people are
going to want to come party at your house. Okay. Woo, that's heavy. This is
the CO2 canister. Don't
explode. Ninja thirsty flavored water drops. We've got the water reservoir. I
think this was repacked by somebody. My
unboxing experience has been tainted.
Manuals. and oh the the thirsty itself.
One thing right away I guess is that this is like quite a bit bigger than
most like soda streams that I've seen.
Like that'll take up more real estate on your counter for sure. However, it's got
a bunch more features that we'll get into. You can load the flavors in there.
You can store the water. I might need this guide. Honestly, usually I ignore
the guide. But I might need this. This is
complicated. I went from thinking this was like no big deal at all to being
like this is science. Quick start guide and a important safety instructions. I
won't read that.
We're going to keep it sassy. Okay, let's take off all the tape we can see
here. This is where you're going to put your flavor pods. One of the features of
this product is that it can combine the flavors in various ratios with the with
the buttons here. See these. So, that's how you're going to do it. That's for
short cups. That's for espresso.
Okay. This is kind of cool. I'm sure that other things have this, but I've never seen it before. It's like a little
water indicator. So, this can catch water down there, but if the water level
rises, then you'll see this orange bit pop up, and you'll be like, "Oh, I
better empty that." Does it come out? It does.
They thought of every This just appears to be a structure that combines the two
flavors. So like it'll fall down and then one flavor drips there and the
other one drips there and then they go both go down into the hole together. So
this is where you put in the >> CO2 canister.
>> How to install O2. I'm sure it's I
should probably read that. It looks like it's about the same as a soda stream.
Let's take the canister out and pop the
champagne. Screw that off. And in we go.
So, pop the collar out. Man, they have instructions there, too. They really
don't want you to screw this up. I guess this could kill somebody if you're not
careful. If you're just kind of like web,
you might need to get help with this. But not me, though.
Oh, yeah. Okay, now we got it. Now we got it. And it goes. So, I should have
compared them before I put them in there, but they are the same size.
They're both 60 L. And Ninja says that a
60 L canister here will get you 300 12
oz sparkling drinks. That's enough for a party. Get some Get some chicken bones,
throw them in a pot, carrots, onions. You got a stew going. That'll bring the
people around. Or this. And then here is
where you put the reservoir. Oh, it
tells you right here. You can refrigerate it. You can keep it cold if
you want. You can't you don't have to leave it on your counter, but that's
kind of half the convenience of using this thing is having it just stay on
your counter. If you have to go to your fridge and get the
That's I That's fine. I forgive them. Oh, what is this cold water indicator?
Blue water is at optimal temp. Okay, I
guess it'll light up the water when we fill it up. Let's fill it up. Oh, I
guess I got to tell you about our sponsor first. Thanks to War Thunder for

but we'll find out about that soon. Uh, we were wondering if it cools the water,
if it chills it. It does not. You got It tells you to fill it up with ice. And
then we also have cooled water just to make sure. >> You don't want 300 people pull over to
your house promising them one 12 oz drink each and then it's not even cold.
Wow. And it doesn't this guy these guys
are confident. They don't even have like a max line. They're just like fill it up
all the way. These guys are These people are thirsty. And look at that. There it
is. It's in there. By the way, uh it
looks like this thing is uh dishwasher compatible. So, if you do want to put
milk in here, you're not allowed. You actually shouldn't put milk in here.
Apparently, that's one of the uh the drawbacks. You can carbonate milk is
what? This is the question. This is the question of this video. Can you
carbonate milk? We will not find out, but we will keep asking. Oh man, this is
some of the busiest packaging I've ever seen. It's like I open it up and I'm
like, "Ah, what do I even look at first?" I mean, part of that is because
half of it is French. It's like, you don't have to advertise to me when I've
already I have it. I bought it already. Don't be like, "Pick, play, sip." Like,
it's getting me stoked. I'm like, "Oh, yeah. There's so many flavors. So, this
is an eight pack. You got eight of these little things. And Ninja doesn't say
exactly how many drinks each one of these will provide because you can
customize how much of it you put in each drink. But anecdotally, people online
say that you're you're you should expect anywhere from 17 to 20 uh drinks, 12
oouncez drinks. I don't know. Everybody Everybody drinks different. So, what
flavors we got here? We have lemon,
orange, tangerine, both watermelon, lime with electrolytes,
lime, ras belly, lemonade, which you
make with the lemon, strawberry, kiwi.
Oh my. And an energy one with caffeine,
peach, mango flavor. You're going to want to be watch out for this one. This
one will give you a little bit of a kick. We're doing lemonade. Oh, I didn't
have to take the whole label off. >> No, it's naked.
>> Okay, so just remember everybody, this is lemon. Okay,
>> lemonade. >> Now, I've learned since going through the initial tour that this part here,
you know what this is called? The flavor carriage. Oh, and then it Oh, it folds
back. Okay, so in it goes.
All right, there's a little click. Lemonade secured. Okay, what's next?
What's the other flavor we should combine it with? Raspberry. Raspberry
lemonade. Ever heard of it? No. >> People all around the world love it.
Okay. Flip it all the way back into the flavor carriage. It's a fl It's a
carriage for two. It's very important. It says don't you see this? What? Jeez.
That's You might want to be careful about moving this around
with the water in. It wasn't doing that when the water wasn't in. See this?
Don't grab your drink until you hear the
chime. Everything is going to go wrong if you grab it too early. Combo only at
12,8 or 24. If you're comboing, it's
saying only select the 128 or 24.
Otherwise, again, you're not you are not going to flavor town. Okay. I guess I
guess these little bubbles here have LEDs behind them and they're going to turn orange when the CO2 is low. We're
not even there yet. We got to plug it in. The cord is too short. Complaint
number one. Email Ninja right now. It's 31 in. It's long enough for your
counter. So, the lights above the flavor indicators here are the the strength of
the flavor. Do you want to go to flavor town or just to the suburbs? And up here
is the sparkling level. So, you can have it be still water or three levels of of
fizz. They call it fizz in uh America.
Let's do maximum fizz just to start. And
we're gonna do lemonade. No raspberry. Stay away.
And maximum flavor. Are we thirsty?
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> No, you guys say, "Wait." Yeah, we're thirsty.
>> So thirsty. >> Oh my gosh. Okay, go.
That's a lot of noises.
The there it is.
>> There's the chimes. We can take the We can take the cup away now. Okay. Wow.
That was uh that was a little frightening, but we got through it.
It's pretty good. Um, these are all like zero sugar ones,
so I don't know if like some people don't taste that at all. I feel like I
very much taste whenever it's like a non-s sugar thing. It's sweet, but it
like coats your mouth a little bit. So, if you're okay with that, then this
probably tastes delicious. That was only 6 oz. Do you Do you want
to see? >> Well, I mean, that's >> it's like that much. >> Oh, okay.
>> This I think this is a 12 oz cup. If you deplete this, you could maybe open it up
and fill it with whatever you want. Maybe milk. If you want to wreck your
machine, do not use milk in this thing cuz we don't know. It's never been
tested. Science isn't there yet. So, this is what Ninja thinks a lemonade
tastes like. Soda Stream has their own idea. Let's see what they think. Let's
see how it compares. Okay, there was a problem with the other Soda Stream. So, we got a different one. Ready? Soda
Stream. Oh, there we go. That's
Now that's power.
Yeah, it like carbonates more. Now, the problem is with this one, I can tune it
in exactly to this fizz level. I don't know how much fizz I'm going to add
here. This might kill us. I'll just test the fizz level before I ruin it because
I can't put this back in and then fizz it more. Something could explode.
H, that's more than enough to the inner inner middle line of the of the
measuring. And now I add it to this.
Like what the heck? That's over.
>> This is like >> And now what? >> I mean, I got it. Yeah, this is like a whole process. It looks kind of gross.
>> One, they're different colors. Just so you know, this one probably has dye in
it. >> Drink a sip.
>> Okay, I'm not just saying this because of the current circumstances. I like
this lemonade flavor a little bit more. Do you guys want to try? Oh. Oh, thanks
for coming over, guys. Thanks for coming to the party. Can I get you a drink real quick?
>> I'll take a lemonade. >> Oh, sure. Oh, lemonade. No problem. Uh, what flavor do uh the What? How much
flavor do you want? >> I'll take one. >> One flavor.
Okay. Now that we're on the other side of that whole process, you can see
that's just easier. Using this is just easier than whatever that was. This like
chemistry. This is technology.
Yeah. They both kind of have like a vaguely plasticky
taste. >> Yeah. This one has like a hint of tea or something. Like it's a little It's a little more savory, which is odd in a
different way. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Don't like it. You should try
combining them. >> Okay. Let's combine some flavors. Okay. 12 oz of raspberry lemonade, please. Mr.
You're ninja thirsty.
Oh, interesting. Yeah, it had to do a bunch It had to do
that a bunch of times. It's like the equivalent of pressing this. Okay.
Oh, it did. Okay. So, that was one flavor and now it's doing the other
flavor. I would have thought that it does both at the same time because then that's why
you have the combining, but maybe that's too much.
Interesting. It is light flavor, which I think I
prefer for these kind of like flavor pods. If you do like max flavor with
these things, it might just be like a little much. Yeah, that's like really
fizzy. Now I need to just do that one more time to in like with low fizz and
see if there's any difference. Okay, that's low fizz, but it's still
like quite fizzy. I mean, maybe I'm taking it straight out of there, but like what are you supposed to do? Wait.
In my experience just now, the three
levels of fizz are like uh you can't really tell a difference, but
regardless, this thing's pretty cool. If you are really really into fizzy drinks,
this is definitely a easier option than
using a Soda Stream. It's like Soda Stream is a little bit more involved.
Obviously, if you're not using flavors, if you're just like, I like sparkling
water and that's it, there's not going to be a ton of draw to this. But if
you're like if you're a real soda head
uh soda soda brain,
if you're into flavored sodas, then maybe this would be something uh that
you that you'd be interested in for the convenience of having your water and
flavor and everything all in one package and combines it and mixes it for you. Uh
you are there's obviously a premium. This thing starts at 150 and then they
have like various bundles where you can add accessories and stuff. And the
cheapest Soda Stream apparently is $90.
So that's actually that's a smaller gap than I expected. If I was a fizz head, I
might seriously consider this. It's like it's just more convenient.
It's the espresso machine of DIY soda.
