One of the many ubiquitous vending machines found on a Super Earth Colony.

"The Ministry of Prosperity ensures every colony has access to the latest beverages, extending libationary ingenuity to all Super Earth's citizens."
- Vending Machine interaction

Beyond quenching thirst, beverages serve as crucial elements in enhancing the quality of life for all citizens of Super Earth. Especially on colony worlds, vending machines brimming with both soft drinks and alcohol are ubiquitous, serving to uplift the spirits of industrious colonists forging new paths on the frontier. Regrettably, the ravages of the Second Galactic War have rendered many of these machines defunct, leaving them dormant and unused.

Soft Drinks

The Ministry of Prosperity offers two prominent brands of soft drinks, namely A Taste of Freedom and A Taste of Democracy, each housed in distinct color-coded vending machines. Curiously, despite their branding differences, both machines seem to stock the same array of beverages.

Some of the offered drinks include:

While the precise flavors remain a mystery, Dr. Democracy is known to contain a blend of 17 seasonings and additives, leaving room for speculation regarding the contents of the other beverages.

Alcohol

Like the abundance of vending machines, cases of alcohol are commonplace in colonial residences and extraction sites. Dominating the market is "Democracy Drafts" Premium Light Beer, though its labeling reads A Taste of Democracy, likely indicating an affiliation with the brand. The cases prominently display warnings advising against consuming the beverage while operating heavy machinery.
