Nuka-Cola Vending Machine

Nuka-Cola vending machines are stationary elements of furniture designed to sell Nuka-Cola Corporation's beverages. They appear in almost every Fallout game to date.

Overview
The Nuka-Cola Corporation aggressively marketed their flagship product ever since its introduction in 2044. Low-maintenance vending machines were a crucial part of the strategy, and the corporation's generous investment eventually led to a vending machine on almost every street in the United States by 2067, available in a broad variety of types.

Model
A simple, free-standing vending machine. The coin-operated machine would deposit a bottle down the chute, and required periodic refills of coolant to keep the contents fresh. Old machines were prone to malfunctioning and instead of gently depositing the bottle could launch it violently at the buyer. Of course, each bore advertising on its side promoting the cola.

Uses
Nuka-Cola machines are commonly found throughout the wasteland and are usable. Selecting it will initiate a Luck and a Agility test which will see if:
 * The player character catches the bottle.
 * If one can't catch it, they will be able to dodge it with the bottle flying a few yards away. If they aren't able to dodge it, they will get hit by the bottle in the groin area (With the player character saying "Uff!" and a small HP loss).

Each bottle costs only $1 each from a machine but is worth $3 when sold to a merchant. Since the bottles are weightless, this can be used as a slow way of making money. Each machine holds about 10-20 bottles and restocks every 2–3 weeks.
