Having done some research after studying the lecture slides.
I came across something quite interesting about 7up and the name behind it. It was originally called ''Bib-label lithiated lemon-lime soda''. It contained Lithium Citrate, this actually raises ones mood, in turn creating the name 7-Up (as it literally gives you an up).
You may or may not know that Coke had its Cocaine in the early days, and 7-Up had its mild anti-depressant which of course its quite a lot less dangerous than cocaine. It is strange how these days everything has to be natural yet back then (this drink was released around the Great Depression quite the timing eh?) nothing was better than something to get you 'up' (and thats in the mood sense guys..).
See the link that informed me about all the 7 UP'ing HERE
