The Nuka-Cola Corporation: The Most Ruthless Prewar Company 

Meth Cocaine Very organized Very Systemic Very much Still Here

Coca Cola's colombian death squad

Coca cola is no Saint lol

or nestle

@@humanoblivion2968 *Largest, it wasn't anywhere near powerful at all. It was scrap metal in the shape of ships.

On a side note: Coca-Cola was invented as a means for Pemberton to overcome his addiction to Morphine. Pemberton - a Confederate Veteran who reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel - was wounded at the Battle of Columbia, which saw him become addicted to morphine; a common painkiller during the war. He developed Coca-Cola as a means of overcoming that addiction by providing a healthier alternative to morphine.

@@MatthewChenault That's an interesting fact. Never knew it during my 2 years in the company.

​@@MatthewChenault Wow, barring research myself for verification. It makes so much sense why coca cola had 'cocaine' in it

​@@Dr-Weirdat the time they thought it was healthier

John Pemberton is also the name of the actor who plays Thaddeus in the show lol

Basically the universe explanation redesigning bottle

Thanks for the in-game-fact. You provided content which most people never heard of about the game 😊

Was it sunset sasparilla?

Nope, I think they was referring to coke Cola Company

​@brotherhoodpaladin2403 no they were referring to vim! Or sunset sasparilla

It make my stummy tingle.

⁠@@striberxtummy stingle?

@@bluntweaponenjoyer "stummy" tingle

Like another poster said too; have a look at the history of the US Banana companies (United Fruit Company I think?) and coca-cola amatil doing things like using death squads against union organisers in developing countries too. “…not simply corrupt, but evil” I think is a very helpful and insightful framework for viewing real life owners of companies such as these

aka an american history lol

I need a Fallout game that takes place in the pre-war world. With Fallout 4's Atompunk design. I love it.

​@@evancenac4467Always at least one brainwashed leftie. I pity lot.

@@markedgecliff7412, Exactly. You look at the pre-war world of Fallout and say "man those corps where evil". But the same could be said about the real world corps. The only real difference being in Fallout, all their 'dirty deeds' are out in the open for public finding. But in the real world, the corps spend vast amounts of money to keep their 'dirty deeds' buried, and away from public eyes. But the same kind of evil, if not more so, deeds are still done. Corpos, corpos never change.

Just how horrifying our capitalism is? Fallout's is just a take on ours.

@@therealivydawg Not nearly as evil as our communism though.

What was the purpose of the vaults? I thought the umbrella corporation was bad.

@@lothean2099 For the longest time, the community's working theory has been that the Vaults were meant to simulate different scenarios that might happen on a generation ship. Just in case the planet's surface became uninhabitable and they needed to bail on earth entirely to find a new planet to colonize. Example: Vault 101's experiment was to see what happens when a single person is given absolute authority over a population that is completely isolated. (Keep in mind, 101's door was never meant to open) The general population will never know the outside world so perhaps the experiment was really to study how a population will react to that being common knowledge. Turns out it goes pretty well until a dictator starts dictatoring. When a generation of people are born on a giant space ship their parents boarded, they should know they will likely die before their offspring depart. It's good to have some research on how to handle that before it happens. "We were all born in the Vault. We will all die in the vault." That phrase makes a lot more sense when you consider the middle generations of colony ships that haven't found a new planet yet. There's a whole video that analyzes every canon Vault we know of through the lens of what could happen on a generation ship and it all works so well. It just works™

​@gabesteinberg6244 The propaganda has melted your brain bro

That reminds me when a local brewery kicked off the hard soda trend. Their hard root beer tasted nothing like their soft root beer.

Then again its a fictional drink which nobody actually knows how it really tastes

The flavour is canon

Ahh I think I remember that, it was advertised as coming in the nuka cola rocket glass bottle but it was actually a plastic shell with a bum hooch bottle inside lol.

​@@matg9844 What did it taste like?

I'd say Nuka Cola has a genuine claim at least. Vault Tech was designed to be an evil, mad scientist corp. Nuka Cola was supposed to be a soft drink company that CHOSE to do all that shit.

Oh my god yeah totally they are so evil

find out who ran vault tec. its not "vault tec" that did it. vault tec people didnt even know the full scale setup

@@peacauve yeah, it's a large part of why I support THAT revelation in the show. It just makes sense considering who was really pulling the strings. SPOILERS That scene with the Vault Tech folks focusing on profits and investors if anything just proves that not even all of the leadership at Vault Tech knew what was really going on.

@@kieranadamson3224 if you keep looking into. High chances mothership zeta was working with enclave or enclave already knew about the UFOs hence them wanting to go off world and to study how humans work at every angle

wait til you hear about Coca Cola…

Wait till you hear about the real world America

This is an edge lord take. It's not america or Americans that are the issue. It's the par*sitic corporations owned by their parasitic ruling cl**s which causes misery for the population at large. The US isn't even a democracy anymore so Americans can't be held responsible for it leadership or global actions. We've had a rogue state for 50 years

Yet billions of innocents had to perish for it.

@@Salty-Unggoy innocent is a bit of a strong word. It wasn’t just the government and the corporations that were evil, the regular citizens were pretty rotten, self centered, and jingoistic themselves.

They hear everything

The algorithm only sees proximity, it can't understand context.

​@@Sorain1Are you willing to take a statement before Big C for that?

​@@vietnamabc2290of course they are they are after all an industry plant 🤣

Actually in Nuka World they reveal what the added thing in Nuka Cola is and it is I believe Strontium-42. And I think the crunching is game specific since if I remember correct in 4 it sounds like a swig. The crunch could also be you popping off the cap or breaking the glass

there is no crunching sound jackass, it's just opening the bottle

Me being incredibly dumb: Hehe soda glows! why is my hair and teeth falling out?

@@twbillionare9568 You're right, dimwit me. Strontium-42 is an actual nuclear component. And it does give off a blue glow. And I think you're right, the crunching, on replaying, seems to only be in Fallout 3 and New Vegas (presumably due to reused assets in the latter).

@@Dr-Weird Clearly your body is not ready for the deliciousness.

US made Sarsaparilla soda used Sassafras until 1960 when it was banned as Safrole (active chem in it) was found to cause cancer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarsaparilla_(soft_drink)

That's the best part about stories like these. We don't really need to know because either gives us a good answer. Either it really was simply that SS was equally as unhealthy as NC and didn't care. Or it was NK giving another example of how scummy they were.

That seemed more like the real life reason why root beers are no longer made with sassafras root.

Its based on a real life interview with R.J. Reynolds (founder of Nabisco), Philip Morris' biggest competitor. When asked if Philip Morris products caused lung cancer, Reynolds replied "of course Philip Morris products cause cancer". He badmouthed the competition while knowing full well his company does the exact same thing.

Im a huge fan of what they did with Bradurton, i love the disney spin hahaha

So you're a real life Sierra, basically lol?

It ball insteand.

Vim has to be an alternative version of Moxie. Moxie is only sold in the Northeast, and in Maine it's considered the unofficial soda of the state. Both names are synonymous with energy or vigor

@@seanvitarelli9705 it is, Vim is an actual parody of Moxie

We gotta start naming it first though. I'm thinking of Mr. Spice. Any takers?

@@seanvitarelli9705 Seconded; I mean, the phrase "Vim and Vigor" doesn't exist for nothing.

Its sad that he can't critique their products freely.

@@Temperius Consumer Law is weird. He can critique Coca-Cola to hell and back, but the moment he implies fictional information to be real, CC would jump down his throat.

​@Seventh_Bean I mean that's fair enough I wouldn't want people thinking that I put nuclear material in my drink either

🤓☝️

What about big MT

The Fallout universe is similar to the Borderlands universe in that within both corporations are treated as being evil no matter who they are. It's ironic given just who is publishing these games.

@@ZiddersRooFurry wow its almost like a company is made up out of individuals with beliefs outside of their mega-corp

@@Dyingwood. Corporations are evil, period.

extra flavouring tasty #BringBackTheCocaine #BBC

#BringBackTheCocaine

Note they may have took out the Cocaine because there was a Coke Fuelled Blacks would rape our White Women scare. The Drug fuelled panic was real. Whether coca cola did that is.... Well, it's most likely true

It actually might please you to know that Coca-Cola technically still has the "coca". Rather than having refined cocaine, Coca-Cola is boiled with coca leaves- yes, the leaves of the actual cocaine plant -in a manner akin to tea, and then steeped. Before the actual cocaine was removed, it was made this way anyway, but the refined cocaine was added as part of the mix. Coca-Cola is unique in its formula being truly perpetual: if you leave out New Coke because that was reversed, it was changed once, and only once, by Prohibition.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeee booooooiiiiiii

To close to home for Coca Cola when they’re just as evil in reality

Coke could benefit greatly from producing officially licenced nuka cola

Coca Cola actually hired death squads to assassinate union heads in Colombia. The only thing Nuka Cola is missing is a random formula change to “New Nuke” tbh.

“Only YOU can prevent corporate espionage!”

People like you shouldn't post

I watched a documentary about a year ago on that topic. It's crazy that people drink more Coke than water there.

Some ppl are already living in the apocalypse

@@bryanp5843 yeah like in haiti right now minus the radiation

​@@trickytroll2990there was a remote village that praised Coke as a gift from God, this was because their own water wasn't safe for consumption for many years, now they have coke instead of clean drinking water.

I don't know. Vault tec, while doing some shady shite, are always doing what they do to learn things and better humanity. Similar to how the Nazis advanced medical science by many decades in a very short span. Gotta crack a few eggs for a delicious omelet.

Nobody gets head splitting head aches akin to drug withdrawal from just soda. The symptom itself is the same but the degree to which they occur isnt

@@UnholyWrath3277 Try quitting Sugar cold turkey and get back to me. ;)

Coffee withdraws are like this

Vought International?

Yeah i was thinking about it all along the video, how does all of this compare to social experiment that says unthruthfully that one habitant of vault have to be killed from time to time even tho they dont have to, how mind fucking it has to be to live in such conditions your entire life under pressure that someone have to be killed

@@randyschwaggins That or Omnitech (From Anarchy Online) it takes a special level of 'do whatever works' to "turn off falling damage" on an entire planet because you refuse to acknowledge problems with Newland grid. (This is akin to altering the effective laws of physics world wide to cover up a lack of traffic barriers on one highway.)

How young must you be to be amazed by glass bottles? ive drank from glassbottles aswell, coca cola, pepsi etcetc

Lol...Next you will be telling us your uncle didn't have streaming TV...😂😂😂

@SwedishEmpire1700 He was born November 1950 and is the son of a WWII vet, I have a somehow an interest in this era

Glad you enjoyed it!

that’s kinda the main thesis of the fallout lore. unchecked capitalism will enable corporations to do horrific things. how do we know? because it’s happened before, and it happens to this day

Coca cola itself hired death squads to kill striking workers in Latin America

Coca-Cola does not pretend to be healthy. Their advertisement has been the same since Prohibition made them remove the booze: Coke is "delicious and refreshing". When Coca-Cola was invented, it was actually sold by a pharmacist as medicine. The "coca" in Coca-Cola was cocaine and the "cola" was the cola nut. The entire concoction was mixed in with wine and sold as a brain tonic.

Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the lore

It more than in Games joke than anything.

Explain

@@western_son up north, in Maine, theres a brand of soda called Moxie. it was just recently pressured and bought out by Coca Cola, i think 2019? im not sure honestly. look it up, its interesting

They did.

With real plutonium!

He didn't know it/the Immortality program would only preserve his head, he was basically tricked by the government. Kinda like when you use a monkey paw for a wish, yeah you get your wish but it comes with issues. Though after it all went down there was enough automation and survivors for him to inact something similar to Mr. House's plan. I agree they dropped the ball when it came to choices for Bradburton.

Whole video is just the ambient music recorded from Fallout 4

True

You have to do the "Collect every secret Cappy Sign" pain in the ass quest and Sierra's questline to get it
