Fancy Lads Snack Cakes

The Fancy Lad snack cakes are a food found throughout the Wasteland.

They are, most likely, cupcakes or sweet pastries. Fancy Lads snack cakes are packaged in a plain white box with red labeling set above a stylized picture of a tied bow. Some Fancy Lads snack cakes can be found in the Megaton house and the Tenpenny suite after purchasing the pre-War theme.

Fallout: New Vegas
Fancy Lads snack cakes can be found in the Mojave Wasteland. They have an identical appearance to the snack cakes in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * The name is perhaps a reference to the Penny Arcade online comic which did a promotional series of comics for the release of Fallout 3. "Fancy Lads" is the name of the World Of Warcraft guild created and populated by the staff and fans of the comic.
 * It is a possibility that Fancy Lads snack cakes are a nod to the myth that Twinkies would be able to survive a nuclear war.
 * In the movie Cabin Boy starring Chris Elliott, Dave Letterman makes a cameo, attempting to sell the lead character, played by Elliott, a stuffed monkey. When the demure Elliott refuses the offer, Letterman's character states: "Oh, I know what you are.  You're uh, you're one of those fancy lads ain't ya?"  Elliot's character had attended the "Fancy Lads" school before embarking on his seafaring journey.
