Gold Ribbon Grocers

Gold Ribbon Grocers is a store on Jury St, near Jury Street Metro Station, West of Megaton.

Unmarked quest: Rube's Gold Ribbon
The entire store appears to have been set up as a Rube Goldberg machine(external link), using pressure plates, a long row of boxes, several traps and explosions. Simply step on the well-marked pressure plate and your reward for setting off the machine are three missiles, a mininuke, Nikola Tesla and You, and Tumblers Today. The many boxes of Sugar Bombs and Abraxo Cleaner are part of the machine, so it is recommended not to take any until after the Machine has completed.

(XBOX 360) If you have already deactivated Rube Goldberg's machine you can just blow up the generator in the corner to make the skeleton and the items fall.

Bugs

 * This doesn't seem to work on PS3. The fireball never makes it to the SW corner, but if you exit the store and reenter the skeleton falls with all the goodies.  You may have to use some frag grenades to expose all of the items.
 * Loading from inside the store will often cause the all the boxes to instantly fall as soon as any are touched, requiring the player to step on the next pressure plate to continue.
 * After setting off the trap, bright lights have been seen flashing on the outside windows. It does not seem like a bug but is classified as so.
 * Some times the mini-nuke wont fall. Just reload and try again.
 * If you walk into the ram it will injure you and if you are low on health, kill you.
 * Occasionally one or both of the books will get stuck, if this happens look straight up the hole toward the end of the slide above you, you can usually jump and grab the books if they are partly hanging off the end. If you are going to toss a grenade, try and land it behind the slide (if the initial explosion wasn't set off) or on top of it if there are just one or two stuck items.
