Nuka-Cola Quartz is a flavor of Nuka-Cola that enjoyed a limited release in the American Southwest.[9] It remains a rare find in the post-apocalypse.[10] It has a classy look, thanks to the lack of added food colorings but a distinctive white tint and glow.[11] It was developed under the code name "Angry Beaver," during development the beverageers added non-soluble sugar flakes to simulate a quartz-like appearance and to counteract the cavitation issues from previous attempts.[12]
This version of the soft drink also gives the drinker low-light vision, much like the effects given after taking Cateye. The Nuka-Cola Corporation had a trademark battle with Vim! Pop Incorporated over the "Quartz" trademark since Vim was also selling a drink known as Vim Quartz. Nuka-Cola won the battle.
