Okay a real suggestion (and a double post, but really who even comes here anyway).
Is there any way it could be done where you can use the same item multiple times without clicking the "consume" or "use" button.
Instead of hitting "consume" on soda 6 times, just have an option to use more than one? It would still cost the same AP. Just "You use 6 cans of soda and use 6AP"
