Vine Ripe

"There is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction..." - Andrew Ryan This article falls within the scope of the BioShock Wiki:Businesses Project.

“Fresh Fruits”

Vine Ripe was one of the many produce companies which provided fresh fruit to the citizens of Rapture. Where these fruits were actually grown, or how genetically modified they might be, is not mentioned anywhere on the company's brightly colored sign.

Jack sees the remnants of many food production businesses while traveling through the Farmer's Market and other parts of Rapture. Conspicuously absent though is any mention of Vine Ripe. All that he encounters are a few advertisements seen around the city. Neon signs promoting Vine Ripe can be seen on buildings during Jack's descent into the city via Bathysphere. Later on, in Apollo Square, the same marquee can be seen in the transit tunnel to Hestia Chambers.

Vine Ripe makes an appearance in BioShock 2 as well, in the same manner as in BioShock. A poster for Vine Ripe is seen on the exterior of Rapture in the ocean vista seen by Subject Delta on his way from the Adonis Luxury Resort to the Atlantic Express.
