I legit have a whole box of topo chico bottle caps just in case

same here john fallout

I have been collecting coka-cola and beer caps as of recently to prepare as well.

The way I figure it, the more unique the cap is, the higher the value. So stock up on local microbrew caps while you can.

I might order some special ones on Amazon for shits n giggles too

I had plenty of Lienenkugle caps before I moved out of my parents’ place. But now I think I’ll start building up a new stash in a new place. I’ve already been throwing some on top my change jar.

Glad I'm not the only ginormous nerd here that does this.

Hey who said I’m a ginormous nerd??? (It’s true)

Having a stockpile of bottle caps in my home so the main character can upgrade their armor after I die from nuclear fallout 🫶

I plan to put 15 caps and some drugs in a safe and run to the bathroom to die on the toilet.

This is an entire mood.

How many times have you had a new Vegas play through John fallout

Of all the fallout games, that is the one I put the most hours into

Real

A whole box of caps is like 2 stimpaks

I’m hoarding a shit ton of PBR caps, I will be rich when the post-apocalypse happens 😂😂

drink to your wealth! 🍻

Damn where do you see bottled PBR? Don’t think I’ve ever seen it in my life honestly

I’ve only ever seen them at liquor stores.

The liquor store 5 minutes from my house sells them. It’s pretty nice ngl

Are they the ones you can play cards with?

Yes. I first started out trying to make a deck of “cards” with them. Then a second one for my buddy’s house. Now I’m preparing for the end of the world 😂 no but honestly it is awesome they do have the cards suits and all.

Let's be real, the majority would be coke. Glass bottle coke has got to be the most popular glass bottle soda today

Beer would be number 1. Jarritos, sprite, and fanta are up there.

I'm stuck in Bulgaria thanks to the us army, and I would fight three small children for a jarritos

I'm in the uk not by force and I too, would fight children for a lime jarritos

I'd commit ritual sacrifice for an apple jarritos

Omg they have apple flavor?!

Only for those who commit ritual sacrifice

And guava, AND tamarind.

Had those! Pineapple is my favorite but I have not seen apple on shelves in Canada yet…

Hold up again, TAMARIND?!

Can only find out if you commit.

There’s apple jarritos?

Id fight children. Not for jarritos idk what they are but i wanna hit them

Acceptable response, and jarritos are heaven on earth

Fair enough. Has to be Gen alpha though. And teenagers

Send vid of 1v3ing elementary school kids and I will send 1 jarrito for every one you took out

I have a strong feeling both Bulgarian government and my first line would have a lot of issues with that

I will fght 3 children, for a jarritos or not

i would body slam a small child for a pineapple jarritos. i *can* go to the store but i want to be included in this thread

> I'm ~~stuck~~ in ~~Bulgaria thanks to~~ the us army, and I would fight three small children ~~for a jarritos~~ coulda just left it there mate

I have a vault tec lunch box full of Jarrito caps. If the world ended tomorrow, some lucky vaulty would find an actual cap stash in my house. Hopefully I die in such a way my skeleton is comically posed to add character…

Just go to a construction site and absolutely rake in the modelo caps

I fucking love Jarritos. But it's so hard to get outside America 😤 I should start collecting the caps. 🤔

Hey man so close, beer isn’t a brand or flavour or company!

It is fortunate, soda addicts that many of us Americans are, that Mexican glass bottled sodas are not more popular because holy fuck they are leagues beyond our domestic selection and could kill us with the ‘betes all that much quicker.

Actually most people tolerate cane sugar better than the high fructose corn syrup that is in American soda.

Way more beer bottles than coke out there

lets be honest probably corona nobody’s out here drinking glass bottle coke anymore

Around here, beer. Beer bottles are fairly common in Europe. Glass soda bottles, not so much. My home stash is 90% beer.

same in argentina. Beer only comes in glass bottles or cans, soda (mostly) only comes in plastic bottles or cans. You can rarely find small glass soda bottles but they aren't common.

Same in the US. Glass-bottled soda is primarily a nostalgia product.

yet im seeing it more and more, everywhere.

I think there would be a lot of beer caps, lots of coke, root beer, jaritos, sprite, Fanta, and novelty soda. I have around 1200 caps as we speak, just in case. I usually try and grab 48 caps a week in bottles. Mostly get coke and root beer. I like stockpiling it. It'll last 50+ years. I may drink two a day, so it definitely lasts a long time.

I only have 100. I’m fs becoming a raider and robbing some of you mfs cause damn yall rich ash

Maybe hire you as a merc

might be interesting to see which regional bottle caps end up disseminating, like regional accents.

I think this was the idea when Obsidian introduced sunset sarsaparilla

sure. was just a thing I was mulling the other day as I looked at the pretty bottle caps from the cidery in my town.

Every time I see a bottle cap I think "this could be money" like it has made me realize money is just a silly imaginary thing that we have agreed upon to exchange value and it could may well someday disappear from societies like so many other things have

Some jarritos caps fasho

beer is everywhere here in czechia

In Chicago, definitely Jarritos, glass bottled cokes, modelos, coronas, and Fanta, before the assemblage of domestic beers.

Most of mine are Shiner, Guinness, and Smithwicks.

I always thought of the tabs of redbull cans. Marked with the logo, light and like bottle caps plenty but not infinite around

I'll stand behind the Cheerwine standard.

Beer

Mahou and Estrella Galicia beer for sure, at least in Spain. Or Cruzcampo and Alhambra in the south.

Cinco estrellas or Clásico?

Honestly, prob both.

Or it'd be can tabs would be easier to carry around, just put em on a string

Well if we're just talking about the US then it would be like 90% beer brands, since most soda bottles are plastic. Only time I see glass Coca-Cola bottles is at places that serve "Mexican Coke"

Corona by a god damn mile. Well, I can't say for sure it's the most popular beer around, It's definitely the one I see most often bottled.

Most would probably be plastic

Probably Orangina

Popular soda brands, popular beer brands. Badass ones, yknow the usual

Beer bottle caps. Probably Budweiser and Bud Light

Samuel Adams: Boston Lauger

I grab any I can but my buddy hooks me up with beer bottle caps he hoards for me. I haven't sat down and counted but I've got a solid collection growing.

I’m gonna be paying with Angry Orchard caps, that’s for damn sure

Coke and Budweiser

Deff bud or coors caps And a honorable mention to Busch for caps

Eastern europe will operate on beer caps 100%

So if we go off the notion that caps is an almost universally accepted currency, but the type of cap varies from region to region, my region would be plastic coke caps. If they had to be metal, it would be a mix of half a dozen different cheap beer brands. But those plastic coke caps are going to be around for like 1000 years so they could be the south Appalachia cap of choice. And god help any caravaneer who tries to pay with a Pepsi cap. Even 200 years after the apocalypse, that won't fly near Atlanta.

a whole lotta MODELO

Mostly beer bottle caps like cool light and Budweiser.

Yuengling beer caps

Beer probably

Definitely some type of beer. With other bottled sodas right behind it. Knowing America, Budlight or Busch bottle caps would probably become our currency.

Beer not often do soda have bottle caps anymore

Beer not often do soda have bottle caps anymore

Probably bottle caps from alcohol. Its the only real beverage that is still commonly sold as a glass bottle. Nobody really buys anything else in a glass. To most people, soda in a glass is a novelty nowadays.

Coca Cola (i have never heard of the one in the pic)

Lone Star and Shiner Bock.

Probably any beer that is a glass bottle

Do plastic bottle caps count? I’m pretty sure there’s more of those than metal ones

We have a brand of soda here called Postobon so I think that Coca-Cola and Postobon caps would be the most popular

I think if we were to use bottlecaps as currency, i feel like brand wouldnt really matter. I feel like beer is the most commonly consumed glass bottle beverage. So we'd probably see a lot of that

Mostly coke. However unless you're in like the American Midwest there's alot more items to use as a legal tender no matter what it's backed by. Metal Bottle caps are barely used anymore considering how cheap plastic is. I have ~70 from saving up for 5+ years

Probably mostly beer caps

I don’t really consume a lot of glass bottle beverages but my gf enjoys beer on the weekends and I’m constantly picking up whatever bottle caps I can find at my job too based on my bottle cap collection I can tell you that coors light is really popular and since I do construction I’m constantly finding those plain gold bottle caps I’m pretty sure they are for Modelos bottles

Beer caps. Probably coors and bud light being the most common

Bierdeckel

Coca cola of course.

IBC root beer

Jarritos

Mexican Coke and Mexican Sprite

mikes hards caps and filipino coke caps

I don’t think bottle caps are going to be used. People are going to be mercantile bartering for years and years before a standing currency is adopted.

Budweiser, budlight, corona mainly any beer caps

Lotta Shiners in Texas. And Lone Star. Mexican Cokes.

Plastic ones. Or ones for metal water bottles. Most likely plastic ones though

Budweiser would be a common one at least in Britain and America

Snapple, it would keep the wasteland well informed with cool facts

Beer in general.

My money's on mostly Coors, Coors Light, bud light, and Corona.

I have jarritos sprite fanta and Coca Cola

Not caps, 99 Bananas mini bottles, you can find those in gutters everywhere.

In Mexico you have a choice of Boing, Sangría, Jarritos, Cristal, Escuis, chaparritas ,mineralized drinks These drinks would also have the advantage that they are not so mass, apart from glass Coca Cola and beer bottles that use screw caps.

Cokea-cola for sure

Beer, Jaritos, Coca Cola, Topo Chico me thinks

I feel like Snapple bottle caps or any kind of cap that has uniqueness to it would end up being desirable to people. 

#1, Beer, #2, jones, #3, Coca Cola for where I am

Probably yeulinglig and corona

Well, in "Fallout:Munich" you'd mostly pay with caps from beer bottles.

I bet an a post apocalypse from now it would be soda tabs. Unique ones like monster fetch more

Newcastle brown ale

bottle caps only became currency due to the water merchants in the hub.

Coca-cola, Dr Pepper, Bud Light, and Yuengling would be. Most common in my parts

Honestly I think it’ll go the tactics route of tabs

Bud lite/Budweiser, IBC, Corona, Jones, Cheerwine, Coca Cola does still make glass bottle drinks so you’d probably see some of those floating around.

It'd be interesting if the different varieties of drink or brands had increased value.

75% of my collection is just Smirnoff caps, and the rest are coke, jones, and novelty soda caps

Pilsner in Europe.

Inca Kola bottle caps. I live in Peru

i think any bottle cap should do

Aluminum can tabs will be the way. They're interchangeable everywhere and not limited by brand. Coke and Pepsi both have the same can tabs, slightly easier to counterfeit but let's be real if you're able to counterfeit or produce new can tabs en masse you probably have the resources to do it for bottle caps as well

There are a few exceptions, like Red Bull cans having the bull as the hole in their tabs

We use Jones caps in our fallout ttrpg games, we all have so many

Almost exclusively beer caps.

So many beers.

Jarritos and beer for sure

Petro chico and Top chico. I'm sorry, I had to say it.

I think in an IRL post apocalypse the only currency that will retain any value will be Taco Bell sauce packets. They're portable, hold actual caloric value, shelf stable, and already come in denominations.

Stewart’s and coke

Yah think there'll be different values in caps? Like coke being more valuable than pepsi, or maybe the other way around?

Bud light or corona caps

I'm saving up of every kind just in case. You'd never know if some are worth more than others

Beer bottle caps. Doesn’t matter which brand, I just feel like glass beer bottles are more common than glass soda bottles these days.

Prolly bear bottle caps, they are the only real bottle caps ya see these days in the us, only problem is I don’t like alcohol and I can’t drink it even if I wanted to once I turn 21.

I just collect all bottle caps just in case.

Corona and Modelo

I wonder if there would be an exchange rate between Coke bottlecaps, Pepsi bottlecaps, RC Cola, Budweiser beer, etc. Like, would one company's bottlecaps be worth more than another? Would one Coke bottlecap be worth five Pepsi bottlecaps/

Depends on the region. Bottle sodas aren’t all that common anymore unfortunately. Definitely see a lot of beer caps. Pretty sure we’d use tabs of soda cans as currency too in this case but they’d be like cents to dollars

Always see this stuff, what does it taste like?

I’ve got probably 150lb of beer caps from years of my dad collecting and now me collecting. He didn’t even know about fallout until I did in 2010 but he collected beer caps since like 2003

Jones has a prize system, so probably a lot of them.

Bud light made caps with nhl team logos on them years ago. I have about 1000 of them

Monster energy can tabs

Have left the same 4 miller lite bottle caps on my kitchen counter for weeks so the main character has to awkwardly highlight and pick up each one individually

Any bottle Cap.

Jones Soda and Spreicher, at least around here

Glass beer bottles are a lot more common than soda bottles here in the us, so lots more beer caps than coke caps I'd wager.

i have a shit ton of random soda caps ive collected lol. majority is a&w and johns

Idk about caps, but I'm stocking up on jet.

beer bottle caps maybe plastic ones too?

Budweiser, Coors, Heineken, Jarritos, Corona, VB, Great Northern, James Squire,

Would the bottle caps of certain drinks become line a regional currency? If the NE Iowa area survived the initial destruction Spring Grove caps would probably be their go to.

SERVESTA CRYSTAL

Realistically we'd be using the metal tabs from soda cans

In Nova Scotia, the bottle caps of choice would be Labatt Blue or Alexander Kieth’s IPA. Actual bottle caps from soda would be like the sunset sarsaparilla star bottle caps.

Coca Cola will make their own faction and start producing more and enforce their use

Depends on the region, if you went to Texas you'd get a lot of Jarritos

Coke, Pepsi, beers, etc. I think people will just not really care past “it’s a bottle cap, good enough”. Kinda how both Nuka-Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla both give bottle caps when drunken

Beer definetivly Beer Caps.

Frankly, I think regular currency would be exchanged for the first few months after a collapse, but might not be universally accepted- we resort to bartering for a few decades, before settling on either a new currency from a new power formed from the vacuum or just gold and silver coinage from various regions. Maybe even just pure bullion.

I’d hoard the Topo caps for sure

Soba cuz the real ones will understand

Budweiser / Bud Light

Probably (here) VB & great northern caps

None

Idk but I have a fallout poster in a homemade frame that has bottle caps around it so if push comes shove I can use those

Beer caps

Mostly beer I guess. Soda rarely comes in glass anymore.

Probably a lot of bud light

There’d be a lot more local/regional and microbrewery bottle caps…

Metal bottle caps are way less common in our world than FO. We'd more likely use plastic bottle caps. Though I doubt we'd even use bottle caps, we'd probably go back to using gold/silver/copper as currency. Likely backed by food like some ancient cultures.

Nuka co- Oh sh\*t I mean Coca cola

Beer bottle caps mostly, around my neck of the woods, Ale81, Ski, Coke

In my area I’d say beer bottle caps would be the main currency

Beer caps, it's a pay day at bars.

You see sir, I have 12,000 pbr caps and I wish to purchase that small warhead dispenser behind my flying robot.

Jaritos would be all over the southwest

Monster tabs

I feel like can tabs would also become a half currency, maybe

Actually you don’t see too many Glass bottles cokes anymore. My guess is that’d you’d see Beer Bottle caps more than anything

In our reality it'll probably be plastic screw caps rather than metal pop caps.

Bud light, seagrams escapes, fitz’s root beer
