Background Edit

Nuka-Cola entered the beverage market in 2044 , with the invention of the soft drink by John-Caleb Bradberton after two years of experimentation. Though strictly unhealthy (containing 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar), it took the United States market by storm and within a year it could be purchased nationwide. Its popularity rapidly increased and within several years it was the most popular beverage across the globe.

The unique taste of Nuka-Cola is the result of a combination of seventeen fruit essences, balanced to enhance the classic cola flavor.[3][4] The balance is precarious and minute adjustments can affect it severely. Such was the case when the freshly launched Nuka-Cola was reformulated in response to the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044 and consumers noticed the change in flavor.[5]

Nuka-Cola contains excessive amounts of caffeine and 120% of the recommended daily value of sugar, making it decisively unhealthy for extended consumption.[6] To counter the negative image, it was marketed as being fortified with vitamins, minerals and "health tonics."[7] Intensive consumption can cause Nuka-Cola addiction, which can lead to splitting headaches if Nuka-Cola isn't consumed on a regular basis.[8]

Characteristics Edit

The new Nuka-Cola has a circular label, unlike in previous games. Additionally, the design of the bottle as a whole has changed, now having a pronounced "belly" with "fins" at the bottom and generally evoking the shape of a rocket or nuke. A loading screen explains that the new shape was adopted due to a patent infringement lawsuit made by an unknown rival company that supposedly claimed the original shape of Nuka-Cola bottles first.

Variants Edit

Other than the original Nuka-Cola Corporation flavors it's possible to find Nuka-Cola recipes around Nuka-World to create new drinks.

Locations Edit

Sold by vendors and found as loot.

Notes Edit

Nuka-Cola caps seen throughout the game either in advertisements, memorabilia, or as actual collectible caps such as those thrown out by the bottlecap mine have the classic Nuka-Cola logo on them, but this logo is missing on the cap of the bottled Nuka-Cola item, which is simply plain red.

During the pre-War section of the game, Nuka-Cola can be interacted with, causing the player character to say something about them, but cannot be taken.

Nuka-Cola floats are a beverage made by using Nuka-Cola, as suggested by a sign in Concord.

Nuka-Cola can be put into Buddy through the "I'll take a beer" dialogue option to produce ice cold Nuka-Cola 12 hours later, despite not being a beer.
