I wasn't thinking of this when I came up with Spaces, but this item turned up in my random news feed today. [a1, Apr 17 2024]

But more important than Tabs vs Spaces https://popvssoda.com/
A longer fizzing debate [a1, Apr 18 2024]

       Changed idea title to clarify it's more than JUST a naming suggestion. Nor is it just a suggestion for a new flavour. It's both, with the advantage a marketing hook for people to argue about which drink (or programming style) is better.   

       So Spaces has to be an almost - but not entirely - new drink. Similar but not identical to Tab. Just different enough to foster arguments between fans of each. Could be done by switching out aspartame with stevia, or going back to saccharin. Or adding a pinch of almond, or maybe vanilla extract. Or arsenic, cyanide, whatever is convenient.

       How will you make sure it tastes the same in a different text editor?

       I'll take one to go, in my CamelCase™

       Don't you mean camelCase?   

       Never mind, the customer is always right. One to go, that'll be one croissant please.

       //Don't you mean camelCase?// - yes, I thought that too, i.e. that camel case should have an initial lowercase letter but the Wikipedia article (see link) on camel case says the initial letter can be upper or lower case ("For clarity, this article leaves the definition of camel case ambiguous with respect to capitalization") so I put in an uppercase letter to make it look more like a product name. However some people do use the term 'Camel case' to refer to the initial-lowercase-letter variant and 'Pascal case' for when the initial letter is uppercase.

       It might be Bactrian.

       Does SPACES refer to the gut effects of over-carbonation? Or the prank of getting an empty, but perfectly weighted, can?   

       Should be marketed in QuickieMarts right next to the Dark Energy drinks.
