If you actually wish you could live in the world of Fallout: New Vegas, you might want Doc Mitchell to check for head trauma.
But if the idea of wandering an irradiated New Vegas Strip still sounds irresistible, you can now get a small taste (you’ll see why that’s funny in a second) of the wasteland life—provided you live in a very specific part of the world.
Let’s be honest: no one in their right mind truly wants to live in the Fallout universe. Still, there’s something weirdly appealing about it. Sure, you’d probably end up as a skinless, half-mad ghoul, and none of us would last more than five seconds in a fistfight with a Deathclaw—but admit it: firing a giant laser cannon while stomping around in power armor sounds pretty incredible.
Thankfully, that nightmare will never be a reality. But you can enjoy something far safer (and much tastier): some good old-fashioned Sunset Sarsaparilla—or even better, a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum.
In what might be the most requested Fallout crossover ever, Bethesda has partnered with Jones Soda Company to bring official Nuka-themed beverages to real-life store shelves. Fans have been begging for this collaboration for years, and now it’s finally happening.
Even better, according to Jones Soda’s official Twitter, a few lucky fans might find the elusive blue star bottle cap hidden under select bottles—a clever nod to the Fallout: New Vegas side quest “The Legend of the Star.”
There’s just one small problem: the drinks are currently only available in the northeastern United States. As many folks on r/Fallout have pointed out, that’s… not exactly ideal. Vegas is in the southwest, after all. How do you have a New Vegas soda launch and not sell it anywhere near Nevada?
You could try ordering from Jones Soda’s website—except, well… they’re already completely sold out. Figures.
Here’s hoping that, given the massive demand, Jones Soda ramps up production and brings the Nuka line back for a wider release. And seriously—if they’re reading this—at least send a few cases to Nevada next time. It’s only fair that the Mojave gets a taste too.
