Welcome to Simpli The Blog: A Quick Hello from Lake Mills
1:49
Hi, and welcome.
We're Simpli Soda — a family-run team in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, refilling CO2 cylinders for sparkling-water drinkers all over the country. We've been doing this one cylinder at a time for years now, and somewhere along the way we realized we had a lot more to say than what fits on a product page.
So we made a blog.
**Simpli The Blog** is where we'll talk about the stuff that matters to the people who use our cylinders — and to us. It breaks down into three pretty simple buckets:
### Saving Money
We built this business on the idea that good sparkling water shouldn't cost a fortune. The same principle shows up in how we think about everything else — groceries, household stuff, small upgrades that pay for themselves over time. Expect practical, no-fluff posts about where the dollars actually go and how to hang onto more of them.
### Living Healthy
Most of our customers came to sparkling water because they were trying to drink less soda, less sugar, less stuff that doesn't make them feel good. We get it — that's our story too. We'll share what's working for us, what the research actually says (not the marketing version), and the small swaps that add up over time.
### Behind the Scenes
Ever wondered what actually happens to your empty cylinder when it gets back to us? How CO2 gets from a tank to your kitchen counter? What it's like to run a family business in 2026? We'll show you. Honest, slightly nerdy, occasionally messy. We think you'll like it.

That's the plan. We're not going to post every day, and we're not going to dress things up to chase clicks. We'll just talk about what we know, what we're figuring out, and what we think might help.
Thanks for reading. Pull up a glass — there's plenty of fizz to go around.
— The Simpli Soda team
