Nuka-Cola is a consumable item in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

Background[]

The unique taste of Nuka-Cola is the result of a combination of 17 fruit essences, balanced to enhance the classic cola flavor.[1] Additives such as aspartame, phosphoric and citric acid, caramel color, and potassium benzoate were added to natural flavors and carbonated water, resulting in the product's formula.[2] Nuka-Cola vending machines around the wasteland are restocked periodically, and it can be purchased from various establishments or independent vendors.

Dugan is a Nuka-Cola addict, drinking five liters of the drink everyday day.[3] He will share information regarding its composition and the result of going too long without consuming it.[2][4]
