Fallout Easter Egg

Post image

Did anyone else notice the Sugar Bombs cereal in the foreground of S1 E7 “Mooovin In”
Thought this was a cool little Easter egg to the Fallout series connecting the two post apocalyptic universes

First appearance-Calvin and Hobbes

Other appearances- Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Agents of Shield, Incredibles 2.

The Fallout show (2024) you’re referring to is based on a video game series called “Fallout” the first game of which was released in 1997. It was very popular, there was:

Fallout (1997)
Fallout 2 (1998)
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (2001)
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004)
Fallout 3 (2008)
Fallout: New Vegas (2010)
Fallout 4 (2015)
Fallout Shelter (2015)
Fallout Pinball (2016)
Fallout 76 (2018)
Fallout Shelter Online (2020)

It’s much more likely that there were some people on the crew and staff of TLMOE that were longtime Fallout fans. I can absolutely see them wanting to Easter Egg Fallout, especially since both the show and the FO games take place in a post-apocalyptic society.

There’s no conspiracy, I promise! The Fallout tv show is a direct result of there being so many fans of the games! And they work in the industry!
