7 Up

7 Up is a brand of lemon-lime flavored, non-caffeinated soft drink. The rights to the brand are held by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in the United States, and PepsiCo (or its licensees) in the rest of the world. The U.S. version of the 7 Up logo includes a red cherry between the "7" and "Up"; this red cherry has been animated and used as a mascot for the brand as Cool Spot.

History

7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1950. It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

Westinghouse bought 7 Up in 1969 and sold it in 1978 to Philip Morris, who then in 1986 sold it to a group led by the investment firm Hicks & Haas. 7 Up merged with Dr Pepper in 1988; Cadbury Schweppes bought the combined company in 1995. The Dr Pepper Snapple Group was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.

  • Up Series

    The Up Series is a series of documentary films produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes spanning 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC. In a 2005 Channel 4 programme, the series topped the list of The 50 Greatest Documentaries. The children were selected to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the explicit assumption that each child's social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up as: "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop steward and the executive of the year 2000 are now seven years old."

    56 Up premiered on British TV on 14 May 2012; its release in the USA came on 4 January 2013.

    That Day

    by: Poe

    Tomorrow's coming 'round
    A hair-pin curve in the road
    She's got a run in her stocking
    And she's missing the heel of her shoe
    Got up this morning rolled out of bed
    I spilled a diet coke
    Called my mother said, "Hi"
    What I meant to say was, "Why is your life a joke?"
    Then, I went down to that ugly bar and
    I clicked my heels three times just like you said
    And I climbed that road to your empty house
    The anticipation was a turn on
    But you let me down
    'Coz, I stood on that empty street alone
    I said, "I'm ready for my close up now, Mr. Demille"
    I waited for the light, but it never shone
    Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land
    That overlooks a billion years of history
    I have a sneaking suspicion, you will never understand
    Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky and Bullwinkle
    And we can talk to that charlatan psychic
    And she can paint a prettier picture of your future
    'Coz that day in my life, that day in my life
    I dreamt tomorrow, had a prettier face
    I dreamt tomorrow, would have better things to say
    Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch?
    You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right"
    'Coz that day, never should have taken place
    'Coz this day, in my life still cannot explain
    Why I listened in the first place to you?
    Oh yeah, something else
    I hope one day you call up your father
    And you have the guts to tell him, how he hurt you
    And he made you hurt another
