Nuka-Cherry is a variant of Nuka-Cola and a soft drink in Fallout 4.
Background
Edit
Nuka-Cherry was originally the product of Merle Haverston, branded as Merle's Very Cherry Soda, prior to being acquired by the Nuka-Cola Corporation. After acquiring the patent, Nuka-Cola Corp. rebranded it as Nuka-Cherry and changed the flavor profile to that of a Nuka-Cola and cherry mixture along with adding coloring to boost its visual appeal to consumers.[1]
Sometime before the Great War, the Nuka-Cola Corporation introduced its own cherry-flavored soft drink, branded simply as Nuka-Cola Cherry. However, unlike the Nuka-Cherry beverages distributed in the Boston and Appalachia areas, this other cherry-flavored soda proved highly unsuccessful.[2]
CharacteristicsEdit
Nuka-Cherry shares the same look as the other bottles of Nuka-Cola but adds a bright red color to it and a cherry flavoring. According to the Fallout Tactics lore, Nuka-Cherry, or Cherry Nuka-Cola, was very unpopular due to its taste. This is contradicted by loading screens describing it as having "instant success."
Compared to the standard Nuka-Cola, Nuka Cherry can be viewed as an upgrade: providing better healing and a larger Action Point boost while giving the same amount of radiation.

Behind the scenesEdit

The story of its introduction, rejection, and replacement by Classic Nuka-Cola mimics that of the real-life New Coke campaign. In reality, however, New Coke initially received generally positive reactions in terms of taste, but the iconic status of the old formula produced a strong backlash reaction that pressured executives into changing it back.
