Bethesda just made one of your dreams come true, that is, if you ever dreamed about chugging down a bottle of Nuka-Cola while navigating the wastelands of Fallout 4. And what self-confessed die-hard Fallout fan hasn't?
Bethesda Softworks has announced that Target will begin stocking its store shelves with bottles of real-life Nuka-Cola Quantum soda starting Nov. 10, the same day as Fallout 4 launches for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
The special edition soft drink, it appears, will also be available online through Target's online store, for people who don't have a local Target nearby.

The game publisher has teamed up with boutique soda maker Jones Soda to create a real-life version of Nuka-Cola Quantum, minus the radioactivity, hopefully. The bottle's label was custom-made by Bethesda, but the drink itself looks to be a repackaged version of Jones Soda's berry lemonade flavor, which shares the same ice blue color as the fictional irradiated soft drink.
In Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, players can use a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum, a rare version of the regular Nuka-Cola soda, to power up and boost their action points. You're not probably getting any AP boosts in real life, but we imagine the soda will be just as sweet.
No word yet has been made about how many bottles of Nuka-Cola Quantum Target will sell, but considering the enthusiastic responses on Twitter, the soda will likely fly off the shelves fast.
well, I'm probably swinging by Target for a Nuka-Cola when I go to pick up Fallout 4. — paradox me (@Paradox_me) October 30, 2015
I'm going to buy so much nuka cola quantum and live off of it while once Fallout 4 comes out

Fallout releases Nov 10. Nuka-Cola quantum releases at Target on the same day. Currently seeking a teleporter and debating skipping class. — Morgan Calcutt (@morgan_calcutt) October 30, 2015
Bet you can't wait to find out what radiation tastes like. For $2.99 a pop, you'll be able to do so next month.
Meanwhile, folks across the pond will also have their share of Fallout-branded drinks, although infused with a bit of booze. Earlier this week, Bethesda announced the Fallout Beer, the product of a collaboration with brewery Carlsberg.
With 4 percent alcohol content, Fallout Beer has "a refreshing zesty hoppy taste and a floral aroma," according to its Amazon UK listing. For £29.99 (around $45.95 if the beer makes its way to U.S. shores), gamers can get a 12-pack of Fallout Beer beginning Nov. 5.
