nope! not logical.. certainly from a food marketing perspective,

 

and electrical devices which used electricity but were misleadingly brand named "Radiation something,"

would be false advertising :smile:

I don't think you've thought this through very carefully. You're confusing 'brand name' with claims the manufacturer/retailer makes about a product or service - brand names are generally seen as a signal as opposed to factual claims about product quality, reliability, features etc which are generally the consequential aspects of any claims about false advertising.

 

Further, I'm not that familiar with Fallout lore, but it would be totally plausible that the terms 'radiation' and 'nuclear' possessed only good connotations for consumers - a virtually limitless, clean energy source that enabled a superior standard of living. Of course our associations with those terms are coloured by disturbing and catastrophic events in history - Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, nuclear war, etc. They may seem like flaws to you but that's because you're filtering them through your own real-world view.

 

Agreed.

 

Those names and that culture are tongue in cheek nod to a extrapolated 50ies cultire where anything seemed possible and "atomic", "nuclear" and radiation" have not had such emotional threat responses attached to them.

 

Correction it started in the late 1933 and women used radiation as makeup. :)
