	'''COLA Tabs''' are a form of virtual currency available on Gatorbox's Twitch page. Viewers earn these non-monetary tokens by watching the stream, betting on prediction outcomes, and occasionally clicking a little treasure box that appears every 15 or so minutes. ~~These tabs can then be redeemed for various stream events such as~~ [[~~Bad Joke Book\|reading a bad joke~~]]~~, [[Dumb Trivia Fact\|reading a piece of useless trivia]],~~ or ~~answering a question in~~ the ~~[[Texas Trivia]] game~~. ~~There are also a constantly cycling selection~~ of sound effects that can be triggered at any time while a game is being played.

'''COLA Tabs''' are a form of virtual currency available on Gatorbox's Twitch page. Viewers earn these non-monetary tokens by watching the stream, betting on prediction outcomes, and occasionally clicking a little treasure box that appears every 15 or so minutes. Contributing [[Twitch Pennies]] (monetary tokens) or maintaining an active Twitch subscription on the channel can award bonus COLA Tabs. COLA Tabs were introduced in 2019 as part of Twitch's "Channel Points" system, which Gatorbox was accepted into the beta of.

These tabs can then be redeemed for various stream events such as [[Bad Joke Book\|reading a bad joke]], [[Dumb Trivia Fact\|reading a piece of useless trivia]], or answering a question in the [[Texas Trivia]] game. There are also a constantly cycling selection of [[Sound Alerts\|sound effects]] that can be triggered at any time while a game is being played. Higher-valued rewards include spinning the [[Prize-O-Matic]] to reveal what's inside one of the boxes, revealing one of the tapes in [[Cassette Roulette]], and a permanent VIP chat badge. (Retired high-value rewards included things such as picking the next Jackbox game during a community game night, changing the text on the small light-up marquee that used to be on the set, and having your own personalized [[Nightbot]] command.)

			There is also a prize available for one million tabs named "[[The Most Expensive Chuck E. Cheese's Prize]]". This is a joke reward that is meant to be unobtainable, however at the end of 2024 MrHadesFlame became the first (and currently only) viewer to earn enough COLA Tabs to claim this prize. For his dedication to the channel, he was sent several screen-used props, pieces of former set decoration, and show memorabilia autographed by Draco, [[Tuna Boat Tony]], and [[FPS Reflex\|Reflex]].

			==Meta Games==
			For the first half-decade of the Channel Points system Twitch provided little in the way of support or direction for the feature leaving Draco and other streamers to come up with things on their own. Draco settled on a number of meta games to play with the tabs with the hope that he'd be able to send physical awards to people who "won" the various games.

			* '''[[FIRST]]''' - A 1 tab reward that is only redeemable once per stream to whomever gets to it ''first''.
			* '''[[Grey Goo Pennies]]''' - A reward that starts every season at 1 tab, is redeemable only once per stream, and doubles in price the next time it is available.
			* '''[[Literally Nothing]]''' - A reward that does nothing but costs a very steep 5,000 tabs. It can be redeemed an unlimited amount of times assuming the viewer can afford to do so.

			As of 2026, Grey Goo Pennies is the only meta game that is still in play. Both FIRST and Literally Nothing had their redemptions tracked by an external chat bot that proved to be unreliable and stopped working mid-way through the only season it was used (2023) resulting in incorrect score totals at the end of the year. This led to both meta games being retired.

Draco claims a chat bot would be needed to keep track of redemptions for things like "Literally Nothing" in order to know who'd claimed the most of them in a calendar year and thus who would be entitled to the award.
