Based in Boston, Massachusetts, until late 2077, MacDougal-Bernard's best-selling product was their purified emergency drinking water sealed in white tin can containers, with their biggest customers being the United States government and its assets, including many, if not all branches of the military.
Following the nuclear apocalypse, around the turn of the 22nd century and well into the 23rd, along with many pre-War-produced units, wasteland water merchants such as Sheng Kawolski in the Commonwealth have used the company's tinning labels to hawk their privately-owned water purifiers' supply to wastelanders for an equivalent price in caps.
The MacDougal-Bernard Company is mentioned in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
Behind the scenes[]
The in-game MacDougal-Bernard company is based on the real world MacDonald and Bernier, located in Boston, which bottled emergency drinking water and was issued by the federal government in 1953.[1]
