CO2 cartridges for drink fizzer uppers...

[Frankie]

Someone has given me one'em drink carbonizers. I took it to Walmart to get the CO2 capsule for it and they acted like this was something from another planet! They sent me to a hardware/sporting goods store. They didn't carry anything either. Where should one go (other than online) to get them? Does any planeteer use them?

the only CO2 capsules I know of, are the ones for air guns, etc.
NOt sure if it's the same thing you need, but they shoudl have them at Dick's, etc....surprised WalMart doesn't have them.

Those fizz things don't work.

As a homebrewer, I've known a few people who use Co2 cartridges to dispense beer when they travel to parties. I've read that the cartridges used for BB guns contain oil to lubricate the gun's seals. They're also clearly marked "not for human consumption".
If you have a homebrew store in your area, they probably carry them.

...jesus...thank god you cleared that up. That would be just my luck -get a home brew set up going and keel over; poisoned by oil.

I honestly had no idea.
disregard my post, for the love of god.

Don't tell me! I've got a bet going with my brother in California who prevented me from buying one at a store there last month at a good sale price. He doesn't think they work. Neither one of us has ever had one, but his logic was based on the fact it was a sell-out sale and a big price drop.

The best way to do that is head down to your local Pepsi or Coke plant and get one. They work great and you can avoid drinking "WD-40." :)
