Nuka Cola Quantum Can

Background

The radioactive soft drink was initially created by the Nuka-Cola Corporation in 2076 and later released in the fourth quarter of 2077. Part of Project Cobalt, the soda was developed utilizing a custom isotope of strontium-90 dubbed "Quantum". While intended for use in the United States' military arsenal, lead scientist Rex Meacham suggested using it in the next Nuka-Cola flavor.

Under the supervision of the Food and Drug Association, it was introduced to the public as a brand-new flavor with the tagline of "twice the calories, twice the carbohydrates, twice the caffeine, and twice the taste" as well as a hint of pomegranate. The flavor was produced in the Nuka-Cola Plant in Washington, D.C. under the codename "Sea-Lion.

Nuka-Cola Quantum has several unusual side effects. Mass consumption of Nuka-Cola Quantum is known to cause decreased bone density. Sierra Petrovita notes that it causes one's urine to glow. High concentrations of the drink caused the Stag hunter's beard to dye itself blue and glow "better than any lantern". Zip at Little Lamplight says he found a bottle once, and when he drank it he "burped really loud and then I don't remember the next week!".

The Whitespring Resort received early-release shipments, which are sold by Bubbles, the Nuka-Cola vendor. Nukalurks and Quantum Radstags are creatures that have mutated due to contact with the beverage.

Publications

“Not content with wowing (and irradiating) the populace with Nuka-Cola, the Nuka-Cola Company had just finished shipping its brand new, highly addictive beverage: Nuka-Cola Quantum! Only 110 of these bottles are known to exist. They are vital to the manufacture of Nuka-Grenades, and a madwoman in Girdershade goes giddy every time you bring one back to her.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide

Gameplay

Drinking a Nuka-Cola Quantum will increase one's Action Points by 20 for 4 minutes and radiation by 10. Mixed in a Tin Can with Abraxo Cleaner and Turpentine, it creates a Nuka-Grenade, which is much more powerful than normal grenades. Nuka-Cola addict and fanatic Sierra Petrovita has created a recipe in which mixing Nuka-Cola Quantum with flour and vodka makes a Miss. Quantum Pie.
