Sodastream doesn’t use liquid CO2, just compressed gas.

Demonstrably not true. In fact you can refill your Sodastream canister with dry ice, google it. 400 grams of it sure as heck doesn't stay solid and I'm pretty sure it can't be gas at that pressure in that amount of space.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_carbon_dioxide, you can't slosh it.
