The initial machines made were rather large and were sold for the larger households of the upper classes of London, including the royal household. There were flavors with unusual names, one being the well-known sarsaparilla released while in the 1920s. The commercial carbonation machines were also introduced in the 1920s and were very well liked. The first smaller machines for home carbonation was manufactured in 1955.
