Talk:List of fictional drinks

Nuka Cola appearing the first time in Fallout 3
All my rage. The person was either obviously trolling or just old enough to have stopped using diapers. This has been rectified now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.115.206 (talk) 15:50, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

February 2008 comment
Apparently, this page was deleted a year ago. In the deletion debate, someone asked why a page like this is useful. Here's the answer:

i come up with a clever fictional beverage name that i want to use in my comic book, movie/teevee script, video game, or short story. i want to make sure that no one else has used that name in another work of fiction, so i check this list. i want to avoid a situation where someone says "that's pretty funny, but you know they used that drink in episode #943 of The Simpsons, right?"

Creative types need ways to verify that their material is original. Lists like this one and the List of fictional music groups are extremely helpful for mining the vast pool of pop culture data.

On the subject of references: if the article lists Duff Beer, do you need to see a link to a New York Times article that mentions Duff Beer in a Simpsons episode? Citation of the fictional work where the beverage appears is sufficient for this type of article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlickVicar (talk • contribs) 14:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed layout
I'd like to propose that the page be broadly divided between alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and that within those divisions products be divided by the media in which they primarily appear (i.e., in print, TV, or film). bd2412 T 21:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * How about magic beverages? It's hard to know if they contain alcohol. J Alan Smith (talk) 05:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Better to have a separate section altogether. Magic beverages rarely appear in non-fantasy fiction except as an absurdity. bd2412  T 06:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed criteria for inclusion
I propose the following: Cheers! bd2412 T 16:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Only include fictional beverages which are either ubiquitous in the work, or pivotal to its plot/story development.
 * 2) At least one external reference, if even to a print version of the script, indicating the importance of the fictional beverage to the work.
 * 3) A specific identification of the source, including the first episode in which something appears on TV, with a date.
 * 4) A paragraph which describes and indicates the importance of the beverage to the work of fiction.

I have deleted the following, which can be returned to the main page pending addition of sources and indications of importance. bd2412 T 01:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Nuka-Cola and Quafe have been added, with proper references. I added them under a new subheading: In games Gieron (talk) 12:02, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Futurama beverages
I moved Slurm and Soylent Cola to the non-alcoholic section. There is nothing that suggests either of these to be alcoholic or intoxicating. Slurm is highly addictive, but that's not really the same thing. Slurm is very likely a reference to Coca Cola, I think Fry even mentions that once. It can also be argued whether Soylent Cola should even be here, it is only mentioned twice in Futurama. But since a Google search does turn out quite a few results I guess we can keep it. Gieron (talk) 12:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Another source for more fictional beer
I added Norbeckers from the film Beer, and here: Fictional Beer Brands, one can find tons more, many of which may qualify for the above inclusion criteria. Knock yourself out!

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster anyone?
What about the classic Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster from Douglas Adams' novel "The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy?"

"Recipe: Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit. Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V. Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost). Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it. Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qalactin Hypermint extract. Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Sprinkle Zamphuor. Add an olive. Drink . . . but . . . very carefully . . ."

P. G. Wodehouse
I was wondering if Jeeves's restorative cocktail in the P.G. Wodehouse stories qualifies. As far as I know, it doesn't have a name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.139.186 (talk) 05:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

My Compliments.
Although I'm not honestly sure who (whether a single, or group) it was that has kept this article up, I do commend your valiant efforts. Of all the articles that list fictional things, not a single one have I happened upon that was little more than a shamble of un-notable popular references to one-shot comments by fictional characters. This article is very good indeed, my own personal gratitude toward whomever helped create and maintain the article.

As an aside, I have only just begun to even look at articles outside Lists of fictional animals where I've been spending most of my wikipedia time over the last few months. Ncboy2010 (talk) 22:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Vitameatavegamin isn't a beverage
In the I Love Lucy episode, Vitameatavegamin is a tonic, to be taken by the tablespoonful after each meal. I believe this does not qualify as a beverage for the purpose of this list (even though in the skit Lucy started treating it as such). -- Dan Griscom (talk) 18:28, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

De Blob 2 sodas
De Blob 2 has 7 fictional drinks. I know one was Blanc cola, and there were sodas for 6 more colours. I'm not one to ask for the information though, it's been ages since I've played games. 74.36.42.87 (talk) 00:12, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Media categories ordering
Is there a reason that the media categories aren't alphabetized, such as film before literature? --Damian Yerrick (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Synthehol - Star Trek
According to Memory Alpha, Synthehol is a beverage that does notleave you intoxicated. (Link) But it seems to me that the entry in this article leaves people with the impression that it does? 84.49.75.226 (talk) 11:46, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Memory Alpha also discusses this at . I think the idea there also is that synthehol gets you drunk, but does not leave a hangover or cause addiction. J I P  &#124; Talk 16:35, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Magic Potion
What about the famous strength giving magic potion from the Asterix comic strip? We have Sani-Cola from Tintin, so why not this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.26.89.166 (talk) 15:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The article says: While there are many fictional liquids that can be consumed, fictional liquid medicines and magical potions (such as the liquid that causes Alice to shrink in Alice in Wonderland) may not be widely available for common consumption, or may simply not be described as being used for that purpose, and thus would not be considered "beverages" at all. Getafix's magic potion is a secret potion intended only for the Gaulish village. Sani-Cola, on the other hand, is a commercial product sold to the general public.

Should Nuka Cola be in this list?
Nuka Cola is currently being sold as a promotion at Target stores. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.138.69 (talk) 18:34, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Create video game sub-headings
The "miscellaneous" sections of Alcoholic or intoxicating beverages and   Non-alcoholic beverages are full of references to video games that I believe justify that they have their own sub-headings.

Perk-a-Colas
I think the Perk-A-Colas from Call of Duty Zombies should be on this list, though im not sure if only the 4 added in Verruckt should be on this or if all of them up to Black ops Cold War should be included. 63.152.81.249 (talk) 02:37, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
