Vault 36

Vault 36 is one of the Vault-Tec Vaults. As part of the Vault Experiment, the food extruders were designed to produce only a thin, watery gruel. The location of this Vault is unknown. It is most likely that this vault's experiment was intended either to investigate the effects of poor sustenance as a possible cause of depression or other psychological damage to the vault residents, or the more direct effects of simple malnutrition. Possible failure modes, apart from those common to all vaults, include social collapse due to mass psychological breakdown, high mortality due to deficiency diseases, or the physical inability of residents to carry out necessary tasks to maintain the vault's functioning caused by malnutrition. It is otherwise possible that the gruel is capable of providing all needed nutrition and vitamins, but consuming it is unpleasant. This concept would be similar to one in the episode A Rose By Any Other Name of the Original Star Trek. The idea being that humans need flavor and variety or they go mad.
