i think so much about how the sole survivor has the pre-war context to know that nuka cola is not supposed to be flat. they also know what pre-war food tasted like 200 years ago and not irradiated. the absolute fucking reckoning when they finally sit down after vault 111 to have a snack and a drink and realize theyre tasting a box of dandy boy apples thats been in a desk drawer for 200 years and an equally old flat nuka cola and they know the difference
sturges or whoever: hey thanks for your help, wanna sit down and have a snack?
sole survivor: oh awesome you still have my favorite soda and candied apples
i'll apple your turnover
