One thing I love about this game is that almost everything has some super secret, super niche use, and almost all the vendors have some form of junk that you can use effectively or just have fun fucking around with.
The soda vendor seems to be the exception. I just can't find anything to do with it. The only thing it does is give you cans, but Groan's Soda also gives you cans and even cheaper.
I'm not saying REE REMOVE IT, but maybe we can work at least a little fun into it?
Some ideas (looking for more):
Bleach/space cleaner "soda" would be a nice contraband item. While giving everything function is nice does it really need it? Its a fluff machine for fluff drinks.
I mean sure but in this game even fluff items have sekrit uses. The coffee and cigarette vendors have marginally fun shit inside. We have a literal fluff laundry room and everything in it has a use. Even the potted plants. Even the chairs.
A start would be having the normal sodas actually cool you down if your body temp is too high. I just now noticed adj_temp is coded like it's a Boolean.

Brilliant
its 200 degrees celsius on the station, we are all melting alive, thank god for the cool and refreshing taste of Dr Gibb.
Sodas don't cool you off but I feel like they should, like drinking ice/coldpeppers
primary use in my case is a container for welding fuel and IED production, it also has a nice deus ex reference i hope doesn't get removed
