The redesigned Nuka Cola bottles from Fallout 4 were a dumb concept.

The redesigned Nuka Cola bottles from Fallout 4 were a dumb concept. Those little stabilizer fins would prevent the bottle from being able to roll down a factory line which is the entire reason that a bottle is round, not to mention that the bottles would be a lot more prone to chip or shatter during shipping. Nuka Cola is literally just supposed to be Coke but Bethesda had to get all extra clever about it to show off how Creation Engine could do slightly more polygons than Gamebryo.

          You're right, my bad. Quantum has strontium-90 in it and is a byproduct of Nuka Cola doing military research into chemical weaponry.
          Regular Nuka Cola just has a ludicrous amount of caffeine, 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar, 'vitamins', 'minerals', 'health tonics' and a bunch of 'natural flavorings' that make it highly addictive.

    This vacuous and skin deep change is indicative of everything wrong with Bethesda Fallout. Look at how unwieldly the bottle looks, at how much superfluous additions they made to all of nuka cola. It doesn't make sense on a mass production scale and it was better before they stepped in, but same could be said about all of Bethesda lore.

    You'd also be able to ship way fewer per shipment, since they take up way more empty space thanks to the fins. It may not seem like much per bottle, but when you're running a big corporation shipping hundreds of thousands of these per day, that shit matters.

    But Fallout isn't something you should take seriously, as has been established repeatedly.

It cost over 2X what it would have if we would have simply cast a glass mold. We went through many prototypes. In fact, in all, we had four different iterations of the design, two of which were glass exteriors. We determined that a glass bottle alone would not have been dramatic enough for the look we wanted. We wanted something big and bold for the loyal Fallout fanbase – something that honored the game. Over 100 hours were spent just writing the code to create the 3D-printed prototype of the shells. The “bottle cap” which is actually an integrated cork/cap, was engineered and re-engineered several times to ensure it fit on the bottle in a manner that looked exactly the way it is supposed to inside of a cork finished bottle (not a screw cap). A design created, specifically, for rum. The idea was that the bottle was housed in a “vault of its own.”

          "quite a lot" isn't a number. You're equating the manufacturing and bottling process of mass production sugar water with top shelf liquor. Coca-Cola, with more than 500 brands, sells more than 100 billion plastic bottles every year and the manufacturing process with its simple bottles ensures that you can buy a half liter of the product for less than a dollar.

          That's 100 billion bottles at less than a dollar per 16.9 fl oz. Now give me the numbers for the bottles you posted and tell me if the coke business would be sustainable at those numbers.
