[edit] Background
The ingredients of Nuka-Cola are: carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate (to protect taste), natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine.[1] What gives it the unique flavor is the essence of seventeen different fruits mixed in just the right proportion to give the beverage its trademark taste. Some versions of the drink also include vitaminerals and health tonics. During the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044, people actually noticed the taste difference when the recipe was changed. In addition to passion fruit, the recipe for homebrewed Nuka Cola featured in Fallout: New Vegas implies that 2 of the 17 fruits used in the drink are agave and barrel cactus.
By 2067, vending machines with ice cold Nuka-Cola could be found on virtually every street in America.
Nuka-Cola was the most popular flavored soft drink in the United States before the Great War. Even after the War, Nuka-Cola remains the most popular soft drink of the post-nuclear world, as much of it was preserved in a relatively pristine state, although it tends to be warm, irradiated and flat.
[edit] Characteristics
Consuming a bottle of Nuka-Cola provides a single cap, +10 health restoration, and a small dose of radiation. It does not, however, generate an empty Nuka-Cola bottle.

[edit] Locations
Nuka-Cola can be found all over the wasteland, carried by merchants and likely in any location where humans are living. Many buildings contain Nuka-Cola vending machines, which contain between one and three Nuka-Cola bottles.

[edit] Behind the scenes
- During the 2008 E3 as a promotional item, people were given a real drinkable version of Nuka-Cola. It greatly resembles the 1950s look of the Coca-Cola brand bottles.
- The name of the Nuka-Cola creator, John Caleb-Bradberton, is an amalgamation of the inventors of Coca-Cola (John Pemberton) and Pepsi-Cola (Caleb Bradham).
- Its logos, bottle designs, market crash, and even its name are heavily based on Coca-Cola.
