About 7UP
7UP is a lemon-lime soft drink created in 1929, originally sold with lithium citrate as a mood stabiliser until that ingredient was banned in 1948. PepsiCo sells it outside the United States; in the United States the brand belongs to Keurig Dr Pepper, so 7UP has two different owners depending on the country.
