Vim

Vim (stylized as Vim!) is a soft drink featured in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.

Background
Vim! Pop Incorporated was founded in 1931, starting as being sold as a health tonic. It wasn't as immediately popular as Nuka-Cola, but it was more popular in Maine. Vim was even referred to as a state tradition. Vim was also about to become the official state drink of Maine, but, during the process of making this official, legal situations forced the company to back off its marketing.

Vim was going to be bought out by Nuka-Cola before the war. Doyle Reed, the owner who held the company in his family for years, was fighting against the takeover. However, with certain financial problems being caused by legal issues, the CEO was being urged to sell the company. The only legal entanglement that the public was aware of consisted of a male employee of the Vim! Factory allegedly punching a female bar patron, though many witnesses denied this. Still, the local news attached to this story and forced the company to hold back on television advertisements and product release.

One successful form of marketing which continued despite these problems was the Vim! Ambassador program, where salespeople in fully functional T-51 power armor painted in Vim! livery would go out among the public. Two sets of such armor are available: one in Vim! Paint at the Vim! Pop factory next to the terminal where the paint schemes can be downloaded, and another in Vim! Refresh Paint in a truck along the coastal road north of the National Park Visitor's Center.

Vim had several varieties: Vim, Vim Refresh, Vim Quartz, and Vim Captain's Blend.

Characteristics
Vim is brown in color and bears the company's trademark red, white and black logo. Other varieties have different appearances.

In terms of restorative properties, basic Vim is the weakest of the four known flavors, yet still better than a bottle of regular Nuka Cola. It restores 50% more health with the added benefit of not subjecting the consumer to any additional radiation poisoning, thus making it useful especially during the early game stages. However, its usefulness is somewhat mitigated by only being available on the Island; a location the Sole Survivor probably will not visit for quite some time.

Crafting
Provided the recipe has previously been downloaded from the research terminal inside the laboratory on the roof of the Vim! Pop factory, Vim can be crafted from the following ingredients at any cooking station:
 * Acid x1
 * Corn x1
 * Mutfruit x1
 * Purified Water x1

Locations

 * Various Vim bottles can be found throughout the Vim! Pop factory.
 * One can be found in the small warehouse in front of Eagle's Cove tannery along with various empty bottles.
 * Two bottles of Vim and a bottle of Vim Refresh can be found in Beaver Creek Lanes
