About 7 UP (Haiti)
BRANA has produced and distributed 7 UP in Haiti for several decades under licence from PepsiCo; the company gives no starting year, so none is recorded. It is the caffeine-free lemon-lime drink sold under that name across most of the world, and BRANA markets it to every age group as an everyday refreshment. Its Haitian slogan, Pa gen pi fre pase m, claims nothing is fresher. The trademark is PepsiCo's, not BRANA's.
