7 Up (stylized as 7UP worldwide) or Seven Up, is an American brand of lemon-lime–flavored non-caffeinated soft drink. The brand and formula are owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, although the beverage is internationally distributed by PepsiCo except in the UK where it is distributed by Britvic, PepsiCo's designated UK distributor.

History

[edit]
7 Up Bottling Company building in Portland, Oregon (1976).

7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920.[2] Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1928, and the product was launched a year before the Wall Street crash of 1929. The trademark "SEVEN-UP" was granted in 1928, and a 1929 taste test advertisement featured a flying "7up" logo. The name became "7up Lithiated Lemon Soda" in 1930–1931, as indicated by the use of a logo with tilted "up" and historical paper labels.

An oft-repeated story is that the drink was originally called "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda,"[3][4][5] but investigative reports find little or no evidence that a drink with this name ever existed.[1]: §1 [6] In fact, "Bib-Label" is not part of the name of the soda, but refers to the practice of hanging a piece of paper around the neck of a soda bottle like a bib.[1]: §1 

The drink did, initially, claim to contain lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug.[1]: §2  It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.[7] In 1936 the federal government forced the manufacturer to remove a number of health claims, and because "lithium was not an actual ingredient", the name was changed to just "7 Up" in 1937.[1]: §2 

The origin of the name 7 Up is unclear.[8] Britvic claims that the name comes from the seven main ingredients in the drink,[a][10] while others have claimed that the number was a reference to the lithium contained in the original recipe, which has an atomic mass of 7.[11] Britvic also claims that the name alluded to 7 Up being packaged in seven-ounce bottles when Coca-Cola and most other soft drinks were bottled in six-ounce bottles.

The 7 Up company was privately owned by its founding families until it was sold in 1978 to Philip Morris, which sold it in 1986 in two parts: the international division to PepsiCo[12] and the US business to a group led by the investment firm Hicks & Haas.[13] In the US, 7 Up merged with Dr Pepper in 1988 to form Dr Pepper/Seven Up; Cadbury Schweppes bought the combined company in 1995. In 2008 the Dr Pepper Snapple Group was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes. In 2018, The Dr Pepper Snapple Group was acquired by Keurig Green Mountain, forming Keurig Dr Pepper; in 2026, this merger will effectively be undone following KDP's 2025 acquisition of JDE Peet's and the subsequent separation of its coffee business and beverage business.

Consumption

[edit]

7 Up is commonly consumed cold – refrigerated or with ice. It is also used as a mixer for highball alcoholic lemon-lime soda cocktails, including the 7 and 7 (Seagram's 7 Crown and 7 Up) and CC and Seven (Canadian Club whisky and 7 Up). 7 Up is also used in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic punches.

Formula

[edit]

7 Up has been reformulated several times since its launch in 1928. In 2006, the version of the product sold in the U.S. was reformulated so it could be marketed as being "100% natural". This was achieved by eliminating the chelating agent calcium disodium EDTA, and replacing sodium citrate with potassium citrate to reduce the beverage's sodium content.[14] This reformulation contains no fruit juice and, in the U.S., is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The manufacturing process used in the production of HFCS has led some public health and advocacy groups to challenge the ad campaign's "natural" claims.[15]

In 2007, after the Center for Science in the Public Interest threatened to sue 7 Up, it was announced that 7 Up would stop being marketed as "100% natural". Instead, it is now promoted as having "100% Natural Flavors". The controversy does not extend to other countries, such as the United Kingdom, where HFCS is not generally used in foods, including 7 Up. In 2011, 7 Up began test marketing a formula, called 7 Up Retro,[citation needed] using sugar rather than HFCS. Container labels sport the caption "Made With Real Sugar".

Barbecue sauces and marinades

[edit]

In 2007, Cadbury Schweppes entered into a licensing partnership with Vita Food Products to produce a line of barbecue sauces and marinades flavored with Dr Pepper, 7 Up, and A&W Root Beer.[54]

Advertising campaigns

[edit]
Advertisement on the water tower of Goor, the Netherlands, in 1967.

Metal pedestrian crossing markers saying "Drink 7up Safety First" were installed in many U.S. cities in the 1930s.[55]

"Fresh-Up Freddie" was the rooster mascot for 7 Up in the 1950s. He gave viewers lessons about how to plan successful parties and picnics by having plenty of 7 Up on hand. The commercials were produced by Disney, giving the character the specific Disney look of the time.[56] Freddie has been described as a hybrid of the rooster Panchito Pistoles from The Three Caballeros and the zany Aracuan Bird from the same film.[56] He often was dressed in human clothes. Freddie also appeared in the 1957 Zorro TV series' commercial intermissions.[57] In these commercials, Freddie fought with Pete the Cat. Freddie, who was featured in a small amount of merchandising, was voiced by Paul Frees.[56]

In the late 1960s and 1980s, Geoffrey Holder appeared in television ads as part of 7 Up's "Uncola" ad campaign, designed to highlight differences between 7 Up and other soft drinks on the market with cola flavoring. In the ads, Geoffrey holds a pair of cola nuts in one hand and a lemon & lime (used to flavor 7 Up) in the other hand and describes them as "Uncola nuts".[58]

In 1987, 7 Up introduced Spot, the red-orange dot in the 7 Up logo anthropomorphized into a mascot. The character was used heavily in advertising and licensed items across the U.S.,[59] including the 1993 platformer video game Cool Spot, and its 1995 sequel, Spot Goes to Hollywood.[60]

The cartoon character Fido Dido was used as a mascot in international areas from the late 1980s through the early 1990s, and was reintroduced in international markets in the early 2000s.[61] Since PepsiCo did not own the rights to 7 Up in the US, certain ads featuring Fido Dido were instead reworked to advertise the company's Slice brand of lemon-lime soda.[62]

In the early 2000s, Orlando Jones served as the spokesperson for 7 Up in the United States in a series of commercials. Notably, one commercial had him wear a t-shirt that had 7 Up's then-slogan Make 7 Up Yours divided between the front and back with the double entendre on the back that featured the Up Yours part; 7 Up would sell the shirt through specialty retailer Spencer Gifts for many years.[63]

Corporate sponsorship

[edit]

In 1974, 7 Up became The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon's first corporate sponsor; this was at a time when its sponsorship was generally limited to trade unions and civic organizations.[64][65]

7 Up

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
7 Up is an American brand of lemon-lime-flavored, non-caffeinated carbonated soft drink that was first introduced in 1929 as a mood-enhancing beverage containing lithium citrate. Invented by Charles Leiper Grigg in St. Louis, Missouri, it was initially marketed under the cumbersome name Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda before being simplified to 7 Up shortly after its launch, possibly in reference to its seven natural flavors. The lithium citrate, a compound with purported medicinal properties, was removed from the formula in 1948 following regulatory changes. Developed during the Prohibition era amid St. Louis's thriving beverage industry, 7 Up emerged as the first commercially successful lemon-lime soda, gaining national prominence by through aggressive marketing that positioned it as a refreshing alternative to colas. By the , it had become the third best-selling in the United States, benefiting from wartime sugar rationing, as it required relatively little sugar compared to many competitors. In the and , the brand's "Uncola" campaign, emphasizing its distinctiveness from drinks, further boosted its popularity and cultural impact. The Seven-Up Company's ownership has undergone several transformations, reflecting the consolidation of the beverage industry. Acquired by Philip Morris in 1978, it was sold to Hicks & Haas in 1986 and merged with in 1988 to form Companies. purchased the entity in 1995, spinning it off as the independent in 2008, which later merged with Keurig Green Mountain in 2018 to create —the current U.S. owner as of 2025. Internationally, holds distribution rights for the brand. Today, 7 Up remains a global staple, available in over 100 countries, with variations including diet and cherry-flavored versions, and continues to be formulated without or preservatives like calcium disodium EDTA (replaced by citrate in ). Its enduring appeal lies in its crisp, profile and positioning as a versatile mixer for cocktails and a standalone refreshment.

History

Invention and Early Development

7 Up was invented in October 1929 by , a retired salesman and pharmacist working for the Howdy Corporation in , . Grigg developed the formula for a clear, carbonated lemon-lime beverage as an alternative to popular orange sodas like Orange Crush, launching it under the cumbersome name Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda just months before the Wall Street Crash. The product was initially marketed as a medicinal tonic, highlighting its inclusion of , a mood-stabilizing compound derived from the element , which was promoted for alleviating ailments such as hangovers and . In 1936, the name was shortened to 7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda, and by 1937, it was simplified further to simply 7 Up, reflecting a shift toward broader consumer appeal amid the Great Depression. The origin of the "7 Up" name remains unclear, as Grigg never publicly explained it, but several theories persist: it may refer to the seven main ingredients in the formula, the seventh iteration of Grigg's recipes, the drink's neutral pH of 7, or the original 7-ounce bottle size. These speculations underscore the beverage's early positioning as a precise, beneficial elixir rather than just a refreshment. The ingredient, which gave the soda its distinctive "uplifting" properties, was a key selling point until the U.S. banned additives in soft drinks in 1948 due to emerging concerns, leading to its reformulation by 1950 to maintain the product's market viability without the medicinal claim. Early marketing efforts in the emphasized 7 Up's remedial benefits, with campaigns like "7 Up for 7 Hangovers" promoting it as a cure for post-Prohibition excesses and digestive issues. The first major push included slogans such as "7UP? You like it. It likes you" and "Fresh Up with 7UP," distributed through print ads and radio spots that highlighted the drink's effervescent, mood-enhancing qualities to appeal to a wide audience during economic hardship. These initiatives helped establish 7 Up as a household name by the late , setting the stage for postwar growth.

Ownership Changes and Global Expansion

The Seven-Up Company remained under private family ownership through the , operating autonomously during this period and expanding its domestic bottling network while maintaining control over its formula and branding. A significant shift occurred in 1978 when Philip Morris acquired The Seven-Up Company for approximately $520 million, integrating it into its consumer products portfolio to leverage synergies in marketing and distribution. This ownership lasted until 1986, when Philip Morris divested the U.S. operations to an investment group led by Hicks & Haas for $240 million amid regulatory pressures and strategic refocusing. Concurrently, the international division was sold to for $246 million, establishing separate global licensing and bottling agreements that persist today, with overseeing 7 Up production outside . In 1988, following separate acquisitions, Hicks & Haas merged the U.S. Seven-Up operations with Dr Pepper to form Dr Pepper/Seven Up Companies, Inc., creating a stronger competitor in the carbonated soft drink market with combined annual sales exceeding $3 billion. Cadbury Schweppes acquired the entity in 1995 for $1.7 billion, further consolidating its North American beverage holdings. By 2008, Cadbury demerged its Americas beverages unit, spinning off Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPSG) as a standalone public company, which retained ownership of 7 Up in the U.S. and continued international partnerships. The 2018 merger of DPSG with Keurig Green Mountain formed (KDP), a $18.7 billion deal that combined cold beverage expertise with systems, positioning 7 Up within a diversified portfolio reaching over 125 million U.S. households. In August 2025, KDP announced plans to unwind this merger following its approximately $18 billion acquisition of , the owner of , separating the cold beverages segment—including 7 Up—into an independent entity focused on sodas and non-alcoholic drinks, expected to complete by late 2026. International expansion began in the 1950s with initial exports to and select European markets, where 7 Up was introduced through local bottlers to capitalize on growing demand for lemon-lime sodas. By the , under PepsiCo's international stewardship, the brand established licensing agreements across , , and , leading to dedicated bottling plants in key regions. As of the 2020s, 7 Up is produced and distributed in over 100 countries via a network of more than 200 independent bottling partners, adapting flavors and packaging to local preferences while maintaining core formulation standards. During the 1970s and 1980s, The Seven-Up Company faced several legal challenges related to trademarks and franchise agreements, including a prominent 1980 suit brought by SquirtCo against Seven-Up, in which courts issued an against Seven-Up's use of the 'Quirst' name due to likelihood of confusion with 'Squirt'. Additional disputes involved territorial licensing restrictions, scrutinized by the in cases challenging exclusive bottler territories as anticompetitive, leading to reforms in franchise contracts by the mid-1980s. These battles reinforced 7 Up's but prompted operational adjustments amid intensifying industry consolidation. Under KDP's ownership through 2025, 7 Up production has aligned with broader efforts, including commitments to 100% recyclable or compostable packaging by year-end and to across operations, reducing use in bottling by incorporating post-consumer recycled materials. These initiatives, part of KDP's multi-year environmental agenda, aim to lower the brand's while supporting global efficiencies post-merger adjustments.

Product Characteristics

Formula and Ingredients

The standard formula for 7 Up in the United States consists of filtered , , , potassium citrate, natural flavors, and calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor). In certain international markets, cane sugar replaces as the primary sweetener. Per a 12-ounce serving, it provides 140 calories, 0 grams of fat, 45 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of total carbohydrates (all from 38 grams of ), and 0 grams of protein, with no content. The beverage's key flavor profile derives from a lemon-lime essence, achieved through a combination of natural and artificial flavorings that emphasize a crisp, citrus-forward without . Following the removal of in 1948 due to regulatory changes, the formula evolved to incorporate modern preservatives like calcium disodium EDTA for flavor stability and, in the 1980s, transitioned to as the sweetener in line with broader industry shifts driven by cost efficiencies in corn production. 7 Up contains no major allergens, including the top 14 recognized by the FDA such as , tree nuts, milk, eggs, , , soy, , , and sulfites. It holds kosher certification from agencies including the (OU), cRc, and STAR-K, ensuring compliance with dietary standards for products. No non-GMO claims are made for the standard formula, given the use of corn-derived . The core 7 Up formula has demonstrated remarkable stability since its post-lithium reformulation, maintaining the essential , , and lemon-lime flavor base to deliver a consistent product profile. In contrast, variants typically modify this foundation by substituting sweeteners (e.g., in diet versions) or incorporating additional elements like extracts, while preserving the absence of and core notes.

Packaging and Production

The production of 7 Up involves a standardized soft drink manufacturing process at facilities owned or operated by Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) in the United States, with licensed bottling partners handling international distribution. The process begins with water purification to remove impurities, followed by mixing a syrup base of sugar, citric acid, and natural flavors with carbonated water, then carbonation under controlled pressure to achieve effervescence, and finally high-speed bottling and canning. KDP's network of manufacturing plants emphasizes efficiency, with a water use ratio of 1.82 liters per liter of beverage produced across its liquid refreshment beverages in 2024. Packaging for 7 Up has evolved significantly since its introduction in 1929, when it was sold in 7-ounce green-tinted bottles embossed with the brand name. By the mid-, formats expanded to include larger bottles and metal cans, transitioning in the late to lightweight aluminum 12-ounce cans and (PET) plastic bottles, such as the common 2-liter size for household use. In the 2010s, KDP introduced eco-friendly recyclable options, including 100% recyclable PET bottles meeting Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) guidelines, with no changes to primary packaging materials in recent updates. The most recent redesign, launched in summer 2024, refreshed graphics on cans, PET bottles, and multipack carriers for Regular, Zero Sugar Lemon Lime, and Cherry variants, marking the first North American update since 2014.
