The REPCONN Shakes was an incident of accidental poisoning before the Great War, with RobCo Industries taking responsibility.
Background
The REPCONN Shakes was an illness that was caused when a few children drank the glowing liquid from a rocket souvenir toy. The children mistook the liquid inside of said rocket toy for Nuka-Cola and drank it down after getting them on tours at the REPCONN headquarters.
Symptoms
- Severe diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Severe shaking
- Fever
- Teeth chattering
- Pale-looking face
- Blood in vomit
- Increased blood pressure to compensate for lost blood after vomiting
Aftermath
The REPCONN Shakes, according to Cliff Briscoe, "was a bad thing indeed for RobCo."[1] Having no want for the rocket toys after that incident, they unloaded all of their stock of rocket toys onto the Dino Bite gift shop in a roadside motel for a small tax return, where they have sat for over 200 years.[2]
Appearances
The REPCONN Shakes is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Cliff Briscoe: "They're scale replicas of the real thing. Very detailed. Got a liquid in them that makes them glow. From what I hear, REPCONN used to give them out on tours of their HQ up in Henderson. But I guess they had to stop after the first few kids thought they were filled with Nuka Cola and drank it down. The papers had a name for the condition and everything. They called it the "REPCONN Shakes." Those were bad times for RobCo."

Cliff Briscoe: "Well, they unloaded what they had left on the Dino Bite as a tax write-off. But that was before my time. Plenty of demand for them, seeing as they're one-of-a-kind collectors items. But I might still have some in back."
