"But /r/fallout is ten times the size of /r/gravityfalls, it wouldn't need to cheat."

Yet they did anyway. Speaking from personal experience most gaming communities are full of spite like that.

"Besides, I'd be glad if Nuka won. It's a much more iconic thing that's been around for twenty years, and Mabel juice has only showed up twice in GF so far. It's definitely not as iconic."

Justin Bieber is a pop culture icon, that doesn't necessarily mean he should be held in high regard. Yes Fallout and by extention Nuka Cola have been around longer, but Nuka Cola is loosely based off of a drink that already exists, except with a combination of 17 fruit flavors. It honestly just sounds like if Coca-Cola ended up making carbonated fruit punch.

Contrast to Mabel Juice, which has no known flavor or formula and is effectively new and original. It could be anything. Gravity Falls takes place during the summer, so it could be a non-carbonated watermelon drink, it could be kiwi-strawberry flavored lemonade. It has the chance to be unique and new. The only reason Nuka Cola is even winning is because it's so easily recognized(kinda like Trump in the presidental elections), Gravity Falls doesn't have that kind of luxury.

The vote shouldn't be decided because of how long either has been around or how iconic it is or whatnot, it should be decided based on the drink's potential for what it could be.
