1st up: FORMATTING. This was painful to read.
Second... Why is this even needed? It would litterly take away from the kitchen.
Also some of these effects will get abused by players. While it may raise the use of credits. I can already see in classic people buying Ramen for their rampages.

I think it should be in the Debris Field as a sorta gimmicky things.
1: Makes sense lore-wise since Discount Dan would definitely get rid of their competitors vending machines.
2: It would entirely justify having all sorts of wacky chems in it.
3: It couldn't take away from the kitchen unless someone were to go out of their way to make it available to the crew.
Also this seems pretty easy to code to me, so you should trying coding it for yourself. (This advice is coming from someone who has never coded for SS13 before.)

So after reading the replies i made some changes first the post is WAY shorter and hopefully easier to read now. second i realized how the effects could be used for nefarious purpose so i rebalanced them the energy drink now give you increased stamina but you take a hit to stamina when you crash and now instead of making you stutter the diablo noodles raise your temp and make you sweat. third i didn't realize this would probably eliminate the need for kitchen food so here's a change i think could be good you could only find delightful dans in certain areas like the space diner or maybe there's a secret one hiding somewhere on the station or you could build one with parts as someone in the replies said from a lore perspective it would make sense because discount would try and get rid of their competition so maybe they hid or removed the vendings and thats why you have to try and look for them or build one. and finally fourth i understand i could just add this myself but i have ZERO idea on how to code for this game so unless someone volunteers this will probably just stay a suggestion.

It wasn't the length, it's the fact it's a "WALL OF TEXT"
Try formatting by putting some enters in between.

I also think it'd be cool to have a rival / off-shoot product series of "Discount Dan, but good and pricy" would be nice as a prefab in space. Basically just take all the dishes from Discount Dan, maybe a new packaging, and just toss them full of chems like mild healing chems and MSG, and then jack up the price.
