Vim

Vim (stylized as Vim!) is a soft drink in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor. 
==Background==
Vim! Pop Incorporated was founded in 1931, initially being sold as a health tonic.Vim! Pop factory terminal entries; Vim mixing terminal, Tour Notes #1 It wasn't as popular as Nuka-Cola, however in Maine, it was more widely consumed than its rival.Far Harbor loading screens: "Vim! was a prewar soda pop native to New England. Residents considered it a point of pride to drink it over the more nationally recognized Nuka Cola brand." Vim was even referred to as a state tradition and about to become the official state drink of Maine; however, during the process of making this official, legal situations forced the company to back off its marketing.Vim! Pop factory terminal entries; Vim marketing terminal, [DReed] - That's great news!
Vim was going to be bought out by the Nuka-Cola Corporation before the war. Doyle Reed, the owner who held the company in his family for years, was fighting against the takeover. However, with certain financial problems being caused by the company's legal issues, the CEO was being urged to sell the company.Vim!

Factory, Alex, allegedly punching a female bar patron, though several witnesses denied this, instead supporting Alex's claim that the female hit him unprovoked and he hit back as a reflex.Vim!

Still, the local news attached to this story and forced the company to hold back on television advertisements and product release.Vim!

One successful form of marketing which continued despite these problems was the Vim! Ambassador program, where salespeople in fully functional T-51 power armor painted in Vim! livery would go out among the public.Vim!

==Characteristics==
A combination of pure Maine spring water and other extracts and syrups, the flagship beverage of the Vim! Pop Corporation is slightly fermented, which helps to better bring out its unique and natural flavor profile.Vim!

In terms of restorative properties, basic Vim is the weakest of the four known flavors, yet still better than a bottle of regular Nuka-Cola. It restores 50% more health with the added benefits of being craftable and not subjecting the consumer to any additional radiation poisoning, thus making it useful especially during the early game stages. However, its usefulness is somewhat mitigated by only being available on the Island.
==Crafting==
Provided the recipe has previously been downloaded from the research terminal inside the laboratory on the roof of the Vim! Pop factory, Vim can be crafted from the following ingredients at any cooking station:
==Variants==
==Locations==
* Fourteen in the Vim! Pop factory.
* Three in a Vim truck trailer south of the basement armory.
* Three in Beaver Creek Lanes.
* Two at Echo Lake Lumber.
* One at Waves Crest Orphanage.
* One at Eagle's Cove Tannery, in the small warehouse in the front.
* Randomly spawns in Vim vending machines.
* Crafted at any cooking station.
==Notes==
* All flavors of Vim can be turned into their ice cold variants by putting them in Buddy and waiting at least 12 in-game hours, despite not being beers.
* No type of Vim confers any radiation to the consumer despite having been exposed to the Island's heavily irradiated environment for more than two centuries.
==Behind the scenes==
Vim is a reference to the real-world beverage Moxie, the official state beverage of Maine. The Captain Blend's slogan, "The Taste of Maine in a Bottle," is identical to Moxie's slogan.
