What soft drink was originally named “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda?”
Mountain Dew
7 Up
Sprite
Mello Yello
Originally named “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda,” 7 Up was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The drink originally contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948. Its name was later shortened to “7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda” before being further shortened to just “7 Up” by 1936. The origin of the name “7 Up” is shrouded in mystery. One theory suggests it reflects the seven primary ingredients of the drink, while an alternate theory speculates it is a subtle nod to the atomic mass of lithium, which is 7.
Correct Answer: 7 Up
