* ''[[Fallout]]:'' ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130529053438/http://www.vtfilms.com/nukabreak/ Nuka Break]'' has the protagonist originating from Vault 10, a Vault that was backed by the sponsorship of the Nuka-Cola corporation and made to test the Eat-O-Matic Food Dispensers made for Vault cafeterias.

The protagonist, nicknamed "Twig", was the least overweight, and therefore the most picked on prior to leaving the Vault. As a result, he is addicted to Nuka-Cola and takes "fatty" as a compliment.
