Gum drops (Fallout: New Vegas)

Gum drops are a consumable in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Gum drops restore a small amount of Hit Points and cause a similar amount radiation poisoning. While the box says "Radioactive", the gumdrops have a lower radiation count than other food items. Because of this, even a slight radiation resistance can negate this effect, rendering them harmless. Additionally, they can used to create mushroom cloud.

Gum drops are much more common in Fallout: New Vegas as opposed to their Fallout 3 counterparts, which were one of the rarest items in the game.
