Well in Fallout 4 we have:

Nuka Cola - IE Coke
Nuka Cherry - which is obviously Cherry Coke
Nuka Cola Quantum - which is apparently a mix of "18 fruit flavors" (with radioactive Strontium mixed in for the glow), so it might likely be a Dr. Pepper like product which is famously made of "23 flavors".

Nuka World DLC we find:

Nuka Cola Quartz - which apparently is a clear Sprite type beverage.
Nuka Cola Wild - which was created to compete with Sunset Sarsaparilla so is likely a Root Beer type beverage.
Nuka Orange - a Orange Fanta type beverage
Nuke Grape - a Grape Fanta type beverage
Nuka Cola Dark - a Nuka Cola / Rum mix for adults (apparently a pre-mixed Rum and Coke)
Nuka Cola Victory - not really sure about this one other than it apparently had colorful label with a "mix of patriotic colors" "glowed yellow/orange" and "popular out west". Mello Yellow would be my guess....


Those appear to be the "base" Nuka Cola's we know about so far, though their were apparently popular combinations of these made with the Nuka-Mixer machine such as Nuka-Cide, Newka-Cola, Nuka-Berry, Nuka-Bombdrop, Nuka-Buzz, Nuka-Cooler, Nuka-Fancy, Nuka-Free, Nuka-Fruiti, Nuka- Hearty, Nuka-Lixer, Nuka-Love, Nuka-Power, Nuka-Punch, Nuka-Ray, Nuka-Rush, Nuka-Sunshine, Nuka-Twin, Nuka-Void and Nuka-Xtreme. I'm not sure if there are real world equivalents of these, other than what you might get if you mixed the real world analogs in the various recipes.

tactics also nuka cherry and its description in game was a new coke refrence

you also had nuka cola fusion made by the family who roams the waste restocking vending machines

and yellow nuka cola which was piss

I can't help but think Vim is our world's equal to Tab, or the cheap knock-offs you can find in Dollar General stores or somesuch. Like Ginger Cola and Patriot's Choice Colas.

That's not how it works. Nuka-Cola is not a direct parody of Coca Cola. It's just a cola brand marked by the "Nuka" label, because everything has to be Nukular something. Vim is a take on Moxie however. But Moxie does NOT have a fish flavored soda. Ugh.

There is nothing that compares to 7-Up or RC or Dr Pepper or Nehi or Fanta or Crush or Shasta or Pepsi or whatever. That's not the point of Nuka-Cola. Sigh.

Dude the logo, title, bottle and everything looks almost identical to Coca Cola. It’s very obviously a parody of that. Don’t lie and say it isn’t.

It is in fact SO similar to the coca cola logo that they

LITERALLY STOLE

The artwork for that one "world" cover. I have a side by side of it somewhere. They didn't even bother changing the C to a K for "Nuka". The entire cover was from the early 1900s, and thus I guess they figured it's public domain, but... I mean, make something unique.

Rootbeer>Pepsi>dr pepper>Sierra mist>Sprite>>>>>coke

I used to think Barq's red cream soda was the best, but a couple years ago it tasted like they secretly changed the formula. Doesn't taste as good now.

[Iron Knights]

Nuka Cola is all red like Commie Cola, ooops Cocaine Cola, ooops again Coca Cola.
They even freaking copied the wavy line, common man, you don't even need a brain for this.

I haven't had carbonated drinks in years but my list for how I remember flavors is still dr pepper > sierra mist (so much better than most other clear drinks) > Henry Weinhards root beer. Their small batch root beer was brewed the same way they made their regular beer. But i haven't seen it in decades now, and that's a shame. as an available good root beer barqs definitely because it has caffeine :D
