Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle

 is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This is simply an emptied bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla. Visibly it is differentiated from a full Sunset Sarsaparilla by the lack of a cap and having a lighter orangish color.

Two variants of this item exist: the "standard" version found in numerous locations throughout the Mojave Wasteland, and a special variant found only in a truck submerged in Lake Mead, the latter differing only in that it does not float in water.

There are no special uses for this item (either version), as it is not used in any quests or a component of any crafted items. Its low weight-to-value ratio makes it impractical for being sold for profit.

Locations
Numerous empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles can be found throughout the Mojave Wasteland, appearing in virtually all major areas of the game—either in-world or located inside containers. However, no merchants sell the item, and it is not carried by any NPCs.

A total of 914 bottles can be found in the world, not counting items found inside containers or the "no float" variant. While it is impractical to list every location they appear, the following is a list of areas with a high number of empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles:


 * Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters - 219 bottles are found scattered in the facility alone, with at least double that number found inside Sunset Sarsaparilla crates in the same area.
 * Sunken Sarsaparilla Supplies - 84 bottles can be found in or around the truck, all the unique "no float" variant. As many as 52 additional empty bottles can be found inside the crates found in or near the truck.
 * Camp Golf - 42 bottles can be found at Camp Golf: 26 bottles inside the main building, and 16 in the camp's various tents.
