Forum:Nuka cola in vaults

do you think that vaults use nuka cola even after the war?

There is no Nuka-Cola in the Vaults, so no. Broeman 11:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

well I suppose that when the war was over and the radiation levels went down then the vault could sent out scout parties/supply runs and so yeah nuka-cola could have found it's way in to the vault.user:weber134

Maybe I'm just crazy, but didn't Nuka Cola pre-date the war? so it's likely they would have some somewhere in the vaults. Perhaps only in limited supply though seeing as it's only a luxury. Mr.goodtrips 16:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It did. It the world's most popular softdrink. they even amde several spin off brands and merchendise pre war 207.164.136.6 16:26, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok that's what I though. So it's not too far fetched to think that there would at one point have been some in the Vaults. Mr.goodtrips 22:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

it can explain why the pip boy has a bottlecap counter (its not like the designers of the pip boy would expect it to be used to count post apocalyptic currency)

They probably did, but ran out. After all, after a while, they would have. It wasn't as essential as water, so it wouldn't have been so well-supplied, and there was limited space in the Vaults as it was. Little room for luxuries.

One of the terminal entries in either 87 or 92 (I can't remember which) says that the food extruders were malfunctioning with the colour of tapioca pudding. Maybe they had drink extruders too? For the Nuka? Nitty 21:34, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Oooh, post-mix Nuka Cola, it should give you less HP because they always mix it too weak! --Ishotamaninnewreno 06:17, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if it was still radiated, you know, cause they loved radiation back then, what with sugar bombs and NUKA-cola, so they might've been crazy enough to put radiation in drinks, especially since there's an abundance of rad-aways. The reason why I'm saying this is that the overseer sometimes talks about how there's 0 rads at all times. --24.72.49.251 18:28, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

During the GOAT one of the questions was that 'Another vault resident has Grognak he Barbarian, issue one. You want it. Do you:', and one answer is to slip some knock-out drops into their nuka cola. Liam Spencer 11:55, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thats a stupid question, I've seen people drinking Nuka-Cola in Vault 101 before, but I'm guesing its a luxaury. They made process it through the food processers, as with real life Coca-Cola they have bottle plants that are sometimes independent and only get the flavoring, which they mix with water and other ingredients. So, I think they could just have the flavoring that they mix with water and other things to get Nuka-Cola- Andromada101, Jan.24, 2010, 5:42 pm

The vaults probably had boxes of concentrated syrup stored with the supplies. I mean, the stuff's freaking radioactive, so it'll keep for ages. Water would come from the water recycling system, and they'd have plenty of carbon dioxide for carbonation with people breathing. Bottles would be collected, cleaned (possibly with hot water or steam from the nuclear power system), and sent back through bottling machines.

Sure, you'd be drinking other people's flavoured and irradiated recycled piss with bubbles of exhaled CO2 from bottles that've been going around for years, but that's a given for a vault.

You could even claim that Nuka-cola would speed the rate of water being recycled, due to the diuretic properties of caffeine. Don't hold onto that precious water, drink your nuka-cola and give it all back!

The only problem would be breakages over the years.
