-== Exploit ==
-This achievement can be gained quickly and easily by exploiting the fact that pickpocketing the [[Bubblegum (Fallout: New Vegas)|bubblegum]] or the [[Beer (Fallout: New Vegas)|beer]] from [[Sarah Weintraub]] (in [[Vault 21]]) does not actually remove it from her inventory.  If you equip a [[Stealth Boy (Fallout: New Vegas)|Stealth Boy]] and have [[Lily Bowen]] as a companion you can repeatedly pickpocket Sarah and gain the achievement quickly.  If you are fortunate and/or skillful you may be able to do this before a single Stealth Boy runs out.
