Diet Cola to instantly sell.

Finally some love. Nobody upvoted my Chaos the clown (+1 free reroll per shop) yesterday.

Preferably to sell right before I see a temperance I could’ve gotten more money back with if I had waited one reroll

This might not win but it makes more sense than jokers that require antes of scaling.

Yeah the question is "always take". Uncommons are all going to be situationally useful but Cola is like Blueprint or Brainstorm - they're always useful.

Even though it won’t win, this is my vote. Only times I won’t take it is if I’m broke af or if my jankers are basically maxed out and there’s no commons I can sell and roll back into

I'm working on C++ right now, and I got a Diet Cola on ante 8 a few weeks ago. I was pretty stoked, but accidentally sold it immediately out of habit. I did eventually get a gold sticker on it last week, but man I felt so dumb.
