The soft drink 7 Up was originally launched in 1929 in St Louis, 2 weeks before the crash of the stock market that caused the Great Depression in the 30's. It originally contained lithium citrate, which explains its popularity during such a difficult time for the American populace. Lithium was removed in 1950. Sprite, 7 Up's main competitor, wasn't launched until 1961 and took more than 20 years and some undercutting by Coke (Coke forced its bottlers to drop 7-Up) to surpass its popularity.

Details

7 Up changed their formula for only the third time in 2006 removing all artificial flavors and making it 100% natural. However, because the drink still contained high fructose corn syrup (a manufactured chemical) they were forced to change the tagline to 100% natural flavors.

Ingredients: filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural flavors, natural citric acid and natural potassium citrate.

Haven't tried the new "natural" stuff yet. Two suggestions to Cadbury Schwepps: 1) drop the high fructose corn syrup, 2) bring back the lithium.

f'ya! As per comedian Mitch Hedberg, I have been making my own "homemade 7-Up"....just get some ice water and add lemon and lime. So refreshing......i'm not joking i drink a litre of this stuff a day. you could add sugar, but that would be silly.

Yeah, I don't think 7-up is a pick me up at all, I find it too sweet though. They should cut the sugar by like 2/3 or more.
