Behind the scenes

 * Fancy Lads Snack Cakes are possibly based off of Little Debbie Snack Cakes. However, Little Debbie was not around in the 1950's (the time period style of the Fallout universe), and instead came to be ten years later in 1960.
 * It may also be a reference to Hostess Brand Twinkies; invented in 1930, they would have been around in the 1950's. Additionally "twinkie" or "twink" is dated slang for a male homosexual, as is "fancy lad," hence the Kings' quote above.
