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 reading a bad joke, 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. Higher valued rewards include being able to pick the next Jackbox game during a community game night, spinning the Prize-O-Matic to reveal what's inside one of the boxes, and having your own custom Nightbot command. There is also an instant VIP chat badge available and a prize for one million tabs titled "The Most Expensive Chuck E. Cheese's Prize", 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.
COLA Tabs were introduced in 2019 as part of Twitch's "Channel Points" system, which Gatorbox was accepted into the beta of. Left with no real direction or ideas from Twitch, Draco came up with 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. Thus far the only meta games to use the COLA Tabs have been Grey Goo Pennies, FIRST, and Literally Nothing, the latter two of which had their redemptions tracked by a bot when they were given a trial run in 2023. The bot ceased counting redemptions mid-way through the year without displaying any errors to note that something was wrong resulting in the leaderboards being useless. FIRST and Literally Nothing were retired leaving Grey Goo Pennies as the only meta game on the channel.
