it labeled itself as the uncola at one point or another if I remember, so that's one thing. But sprite is far better

yeah but in the past 7up still had it's own marketing gimmick to have some relevance alongside sprite

but now? they don't even have that...they've resorted to selling 7up as a condiment for foods or an add-on for booze

"7UP can be mixed with anything!" that's the current marketing push they got going on and it's not really been received that well

Sprite happened.

That being said, I'm not sure how Coca-Cola was able to usurp 7up's throne with Sprite, but was unable to take the crown from Dr. Pepper with Mr. Pipp.

The taste, or lack thereof >_> (Well, I guess it has a taste, it's just not a very strong or enjoyable one.) But yeah, when people want a bland-tasting soda, they already have the superior Sprite.

Since soda is always buy 2 get 1 there will always be a place to round out your purchase. Plus it's all made by the same illuminati anyway.

Pepsi products in general are bad because they're too sweet. Unless you're a smoker or lost half your taste buds in a freak accident, I can't fathom how anybody likes it more.

Or, I guess, if you're an insect.

7up isn't a Pepsi product, Pepsi's version is Mist Twist/Sierra Mist

Several factors over the course of decades caused 7up's decline, some were self inflicted and the rest was due to new competition.

When Sprite was introduced by Coca-Cola in the early 60s, it was an afterthought until the 80s when they began to market it more aggressively and Coke forcing some major distributors and restaurants to also server Sprite instead of 7up if they still wanted to serve Coke. Coke has since relaxed these policies, but the damage was already done.

It also did not help that starting in the 70's 7up began to constantly change their recipe and changed the taste. This is something they still do today and turned off many people to it over time.

On top of that, the rise in popularity of Mountain Dew in the 90's did not help either as it was marketed as a type of anti-7up with more caffeine.

I absolutely know as a matter of pure fact that 7up is a Pepsi product. I worked for Safeway for 5 years and we'd order 7up from Pepsi directly.

I just decided to look it up now and apparently you're right. Wtf, I haven't seen it in about 15 years at least O_o
Maybe it's just not in Canada, unless maybe it's in those Freestyle Coke machines at Wendy's.

Real answer ? Coke is worth 170 billion. 7up is worth 10billion

7up isnt even available in all grocery stores.

7up is a great product but sprite does taste better

To be fair, the first Spot Nes game was not that good either.
