It's also, for the Fallout fans in the audience, that substance that gives Nuka-Cola Quantum its characteristic blue glow...and the subsequent glowing urine when it exits out the other end. But the company's testing notes show that glowing bodily fluids and the increased risk of bone cancer are mild side-effects compared to those experienced by the initial test groups. Yeah, Nuka-Cola cribbed from the Cave Johnson school of scientific testing.
