Diet Cola is a sealed can of soda. It is a drink first. One can lowers thirst by 9 and takes a small bite out of hunger too.
The can is sealed, so the drink keeps until it is opened. It has to be opened before drinking. Diet Cola is one of the easiest drinks to find, filling vending machines, soda trucks and the fridges of almost every shop and fast food place.
Eating
Drinking a can of Diet Cola lowers thirst by 9 and hunger by about 4. That makes it a light way to stay hydrated when clean water is scarce. It is low in calories, so it does little to keep body weight up.
The can weighs 0.3, which is fair for a drink. Drinking it is a deliberate choice from the inventory, the same as eating a snack.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
| Item | Hunger | Thirst |
|---|---|---|
| Diet Cola | -3.6 | -9 |
Cooking
A can must be opened before it can be drunk. The Open Beverage Can action opens any sealed drink can.
The can is also an ingredient in the Make Can Pipe recipe. A sharp knife, a sewing needle or an awl turns the can into a Can Pipe. The tool is kept.
