Just finished the season. Spoilers ahead so fair warning. Pedictive programming contained nukes, cannibalism, elites, and cults.
Background: Nukes are dropped. Some citizens evacuate cities to fallout shelters created by a corporation called Vault tec, to escape, live, and re-populate the earth.
Take a guess who strategizes dropping the nukes and for what reasons. All reasons we here are familiar with. Interesting the faction exposing the truth behind the lie is called New California Republic. New California also trying to recover cold fusion tech.
Edit: i never played the game so I don't know how much the series story jives with the in-game story.
I'm not sure now. I saw the machine and assumed cans and can't recall scenes with either cans or bottles. I'd need to watch it again, but probably won't.
Is there a nuka cola significance?
Nuka cola is a fairly big component of the in game experience within Fallout. Its also a background element that’s been there since the beginning

Ah ok. Makes sense with the caps, therefore bottles. Thanks for that. I'll edit my post.
