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, using pressure plates, a long row of boxes, several traps and explosions. Your reward for setting off the Machine is a few missiles, a mininuke, Nikola Tesla and You and Tumblers Today. For this reason we suggest not grabbing the many boxes of Sugar Bombs and Abraxo Cleaner until after the Machine has completed.

There's also a rare (and useless) individual cigarette in the SE corner under the dust mop, along with another in that corner (sometimes found 'floating' in the sink).

There is a cheat to this level. Before setting off the device, grab the detergent and Abraxo from the shelf to prevent the device from going off. Then go underneath the corner near the ram and look up. There should be a large hole in the ceiling with a slide. This is where the corpse slides down from. Chuck a grenade and let it fall from the slide. This will cause all the items and skeleton to fall with it. You may have to throw two. After you do this, go and disarm the grenade trap near the kitchen. This will give you three more grenades, and prevent you from finding all manner of stuff on the floor after the explosions.

NOTE: you can also simply shoot the generator to make it explode, since that is what the goofy set of actions do in the end anyway. Simply loot first, then stand back and shoot the generator. However, be sure to quick save the game first, since not all the loot may be shaken free by the explosion. You may want to reload to try it again to get both skill books, as well as the mini-nuke and missiles.
