Nuka-Cola Corporation

The Nuka-Cola Corporation was a pre-War softdrink manufacturer, well known for its eponymous Nuka-Cola line of products.

Background
Nuka-Cola was invented in 2044 by John Caleb-Bradberton. It's unique taste gained widespread popularity quickly, ending with it becoming the most popular soft drink in the United States with an extremely dedicated following. The widely known Dazzling Blue bottle color was adopted as standard in 2052, after market research programs indicated that the blue color was the favorite in 86 people out of a hundred polled.

The ingredients of Nuka-Cola are: carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate (to protect taste), natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine. What gives it the unique flavor is the essence of seventeen different fruits mixed in just the right proportion to give the beverage its trademark taste. Some versions of the drink also include vitaminerals and health tonics. During the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044, people actually noticed the taste difference when the flavor was changed.

By 2067, vending machines with ice-cold Nuka-Cola could be found on virtually every street in America.

Behind the scenes

 * During the 2008 E3 as a promotional item, people were given a real drinkable version of Nuka-Cola. It greatly resembles the 1950s look of the Coca-Cola brand bottles.
 * The name of the Nuka-Cola creator, John Caleb-Bradberton, is an amalgamation of the inventors of Coca-Cola (John Pemberton) and Pepsi (Caleb Bradham).
 * The logos, bottle designs, market crash and even the Nuka-Cola name are obviously based on those of Coca-Cola.
