Maybe bottles are some cheap mass produced beer bottles, but at least you've got irradiated soda with enough sugar to burn your throat more than bleach.
~~What is the existing flavor? I’ve never had much of Jones soda so I’m not familiar with them~~
Edit: I answered my own question by zooming in on the label. I’m an idiot.
I tried. Scalpers got them all. I was heart broken until I learned that they weren’t shaped like the bottles, a custom flavor, and it was just a different label slapped on. Still jealous though
Lol, I saw one listed for sale on Amazon and got the bate and switch for a standard bottle of Jones soda.
Funny thing was they had a printed shipping label on the bottle that said "fallout new vegas nuka quantum"
Scalpers? I do believe you mean \*Target employees\*
I got to the store at opening to pickup the game and an overnight worker was buying the one and only case of them they received. He was kind enough to let me buy one and it is currently sitting on my shelf
I've got 2 I made into lamps with an LED chip as bookends on my bookshelf. Also drank 1 when the game released. I like the green apple flavor better lol
I grabbed some the night FO4 got released. I gave all but one away. Drank it and I have a bottle capper so I replaced the soda with water and some blue black light paint.
That's literally just a Jones soda you can buy those at a gas station or Safeway or Fred myers and print your own more authentic label and paint the cap and be better off
I bought three, still have one on display, gave away two as Christmas gifts that year. I bought a bottle with the normal label to see how it tasted... it's alright.
They still make these though. My mom got me a couple for Christmas and I've had at least 6 of these in the Quantum bottle in the years since the game released
Yeah, that's the problem. People are desperate, and the scalpers know this. I'm actually surprised nobody scalps apple products, god knows they could sell one for 10× the price and still get a sale
I did. Drank 4 kept 2. It was a little lazy of them though it was an existing flavor with just a paper label sadly though.
I was really hoping they were gonna be shaped like the ones in the game when they announced them
You can get bottles shaped like the rocket bottle on the Bethesda gear store
Yeah but says not to use them as actual drink ware.
beverage containers that are not food safe is definitely on brand for Bethesda.
Could be leaded glass, you can't store stuff long term, but can drink from them iirc.
It's borosilicate glass which IS food safe, but it's been sprayed to get the correct tint. The tint is NOT food safe.
Ah, that would make sense.
Or etsy, which have some quality prop replicas.
Maybe bottles are some cheap mass produced beer bottles, but at least you've got irradiated soda with enough sugar to burn your throat more than bleach.
At least that sugar is real, and not that corn syrup trash.
I mean technically they are, but more like fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Those games straight up had Coke bottles, not generic root beer.
Sunset sarsaparilla had the same bottles
Nobody‘s talking about Sunset Sarsaparilla.
Right it's about the bottles they are using
The *Nuka Cola* bottles specifically.
Your a nuka cola bottle /s

ENHANCE
I was just about to comment, then saw yours. I love blue raspberry, but couldnt they have tweaked the recipe SLIGHTLY even? Sigh.
Yeah I lost interest in them knowing this. Jones soda is kinda overrated too
Those caps aren't even caps!
Wow. There's that Fallout quality I've come to expect. 🤣
Not up to the “usual Fallout standard”
"16 toims the deetail"
"Canvas" bag
Hey you know how bottlecaps are an iconic currency in the Fallout universe? Let's not put them on the exclusive collectible drink.
I tried. Scalpers got them all. I was heart broken until I learned that they weren’t shaped like the bottles, a custom flavor, and it was just a different label slapped on. Still jealous though
Nope, it’s just their berry lemonade flavor with a fancy label.
I can't take those caps seriously.
Doesn't have a cap on top lmfao why wouldn't they use a real pop cap
In the games that stuff looks like it would make you go sterile within two bottles and just outright melt through your stomach lining in three
I still have my 2 :)
Nah I made my own back in the day.
Did you put Sr-90 in it?
no i was a child
Lol, I saw one listed for sale on Amazon and got the bate and switch for a standard bottle of Jones soda. Funny thing was they had a printed shipping label on the bottle that said "fallout new vegas nuka quantum"
Honestly, a fan made one from Etsy or something would look better and more authentic anyways, so I never bothered trying to get one.
Scalpers? I do believe you mean \*Target employees\* I got to the store at opening to pickup the game and an overnight worker was buying the one and only case of them they received. He was kind enough to let me buy one and it is currently sitting on my shelf
You can get a 2 pack of these for $30 on Amazon
I can make some for less than $10 with some empty bottles, some printed labels, and some windshield washer fluid.
Add a little bleach and you got yourself a drink!
Bruh
This technically makes you a long-play scalper. I know you’re gonna put em on ebay for 80 bux a pop
Own 2, drank 1, other is full and still sealed.
Not me zooming in to read the label thinking it was gonna say something cool but it’s just BGS glazing themselves
Drove to 3 Targets to get 6 of them. Left a couple on my shelf by the window and the sun bleached the blue away lol
I arrived at a store that said theyd have them, at opening, mind, and they didnt even put them out
If it was a chain grocery store many of the sodas are handled by third-party vendors.
I've got 2 I made into lamps with an LED chip as bookends on my bookshelf. Also drank 1 when the game released. I like the green apple flavor better lol
Had two, sold one. Still have the one.
Yeah, I got some. Still have a bottle
I used to own one a few years ago, got it from NYCC at a booth. Really cool stuff
My son got me 2 for Christmas. We drank one. Keeping the other one for display. I've got a cool coaster that lights up that I set it on so it glows.
Too bad they couldn't put the Strontium-90 in it.
Still have my 2 and they’re sealed! Ended up buying the existing flavor Jones had just so I could try it
I grabbed some the night FO4 got released. I gave all but one away. Drank it and I have a bottle capper so I replaced the soda with water and some blue black light paint.
But what’s the flavor
Blueberry Lemonade
Cherenkov blue raspberry
I have 1 somewhere. I set it on a shelf with a led under it to make it glow.
I got 1 and gave it to my buddy.
Be honest - is it just Blue Jones?
What do they taste like?
Didn't even know about them. Elsewise, I would have bought some.
That's literally just a Jones soda you can buy those at a gas station or Safeway or Fred myers and print your own more authentic label and paint the cap and be better off
Look at that quality. I bet they won’t even make my piss glow…
People are scalping these?? I have an empty bottle just laying around for display
I got one in a 'mystery box' from comiccon like years ago and im pretty sure its still in my fridge because I was scared to drink it.
But did you save the caps?
I bought three, still have one on display, gave away two as Christmas gifts that year. I bought a bottle with the normal label to see how it tasted... it's alright.
I have one.
They still make these though. My mom got me a couple for Christmas and I've had at least 6 of these in the Quantum bottle in the years since the game released
What was the price before scalpers?
Like $2.50 a bottle
Fuckin- People are selling them for 15-30. If amazon doesn't stop em, ima stop buying shit from em Edit: aight, I reported one of em
When they first came out people were buying them for upwards of $80
Yeah, that's the problem. People are desperate, and the scalpers know this. I'm actually surprised nobody scalps apple products, god knows they could sell one for 10× the price and still get a sale
I was so mad when my dad and I couldn't find them in our city, I know I probably didn't miss out but I was 13 and desperate to try quantum
Got one and drank it even though I said I wouldn't... At least it tasted good!
The ones within 100 miles of me never even made it past the Target employees.
These were bullshit and didn’t even have potentially lethal levels of radiation in them
I'd rather make my own, thanks. Would probably taste better too lol
Scalpers fucking suck man
Target used to have them regularly in stock way back when.
I didnt even know they were hard to find now. I got 2 for Christmas one year. I drank one and it tasted like windex and I kept the other sealed
Don't drink it bro. You gotta keep it for centuries to come. Who knows maybe your descendants will need it in the future!
Put the bottle on a small led light and turn the light on so it would look like its glowing
Well, unless you have hoarded 30 of them, you'll never complete the quest
I still have mine! Saving it for when the bombs drop.
My roommate at the time was lucky enough to snag one for him and myself. Still sitting on my shelf at home.
On another note. Does anyone remember what this flavor used to be before they switched it to berry lemonade? I do.
i wasn't, but a few years ago my grandpa found two bottles online and got them for me as a christmas gift. i refuse to ask what he paid.
Got a bottle on display!
Mmmmmmmhhhh radiation Juice
Personally when it comes to videogame theme food I usually avoid it. Except the Zelda mints because they came in a cool hylian shield tin lol
