That number sounds about right from what I have seen. A buddy of mine sat on the idea for over a year, convinced his boss would laugh him out of the room, and when he finally brought it up the guy basically said he was wondering when he would ask. He got around 8% and said the whole thing took maybe ten minutes. The waiting is always worse than the talk itself.

Did you actually pour them into separate cups or just drink straight from the can? That makes a huge difference because the can itself changes the taste a bit. And be honest, were you already kinda expecting them to taste the same?

Semicolons are the actual worst, I spent 45 minutes last month hunting one in a 500 line file so I feel you. But honestly the error message thing is still kind of a scam, half the time it just says "unexpected token" and points at a line that's totally fine. It's really just pattern matching after you've seen the same dumb mistake ten times.
