Even though it's a "fake" brand, it is very recognizable. Bepis is in copyright, and it's also a highly recognized "fake" brand

It should, though bepis was more of a meme rather than a "fake" brand.
Consider other fictional brands like acme and duff_beer are also copyright tags.

Hate to ask, but would you be willing to make the update request? For some reason when I click submit the connection times out. Probably something on my end :/
I'd think it's more the actual thing (bottle/drink, as it appears in the series) more than the brand specifically, so wouldn't be a copyright any more than coffee_mug or coffee is.

It is absolutely the brand specifically, I just went through the tag earlier tonight and there's all kinds of different stuff. The bottles and bottle caps, vending machines, billboards, posters, an amusement park, toys, delivery trucks, robots, etc. It's just as much of a brand as Coca-Cola is
The bulk update request #12893 is pending approval.
change category nuka-cola (284) -> copyright
create implication nuka-cola_quantum (85) -> nuka-cola (284)
create implication nuka-cola_victory (6) -> nuka-cola (284)
create implication nuka-cola_cherry (4) -> nuka-cola (284)
Reason: An official brand of the Fallout series, and the flavors that have multiple posts to them.

While "Nuka-Cola" technically refers to the beverage while the "Nuka-Cola Corporation" refers to the company, I don't see a reason to keep two separate tags.
Plus, like @Lust_Demon_Laz has said, it's literally no different than Coca-Cola.

Maybe we should have tags like coca-cola_original and nuka-cola_original? With Coca-cola, cherry is currently aliased to it, so that would need to be unaliased if we start tagging flavors in full. We could otherwise alias Nuka's flavors to the brand.

I mean would it be visually distinctive enough to warrant a separate beverage-based tag?
It may look like a generic cola drink with the default Nuka/Coca-Cola logo while things like the Nuke-Cola variants have distinctive colours/logos, similar to Pepsi's Pepsi_Max or Mountain_Dew's Baja_Blast and Flaming Hot.
