anyone had that new 7up yet?

[ribitch]

its green with an upside down label. It may be in testing right now in my area, because only a few places have it. Its really ceap right now too (2 for $1). It tastes like 7up/mt dew mixture. its ok. nothing too great. i doubt it will last .

[gear02]

what is it called?

[ribitch]

i dont remember. The bottle is in my fridge at home. I didnt see anything at 7up.com

[whitak24]

i stopped to get gas in Bowling Green last time i went down to columbus and it was in a bin by the checkout, but i don't think it was particularly cheap.

don't remember what it was called. i was surprised because i had never heard an ad for it or anything.

but ribitch is probably right -- market testing or something.

[tweeteresa]

flipside?

[seqiro]

I haven't had it yet, but I know what it's called: dnL

That's why it's a 7up label upside down. :)

I tried it a few days ago (same deal 2 for a buck). Nothing amazing, but not bad. It tastes kinda like either squirt or cactus cooler. I can't remember because it's been so long since I've had either that my memory on taste is kinda funny. Has anyone tried them around the same time and compared? :)

yeah. i don't see that as a bit hit "on the street"....

"dude, i wanna get me some of that 'dnl' stuff!"

"wtf did you just say about my momma?" :angry:

[gear02]

I think it's a cool idea. Haven't tasted it myself, but anything can be better than Pepsi Blue. Wow that stuff sucked.

[molecularfire]

Actually, I haven't heard of it as dnL. I've seen it in ads and stuff as upside down 7 up. :D

[Leon]

I think it's a good idea. I find 7-up so boring that i haven't had a can of it in years.

Is this the year of new sodas? Are the major soda corporations losing money or something? We've recently had...


Coke and Lemon
Pepsi Twist
Mountain Dew Code Red
Vanilla Coke
Pepsi Blue
Dr. Pepper's new stuff
And now this

And I'm sure I've forgotten some. Sprite will have to come up with something similar now... as soon as Pepsi made stuff with Lemon, Coke did. Anything remotely popular or that does even fairly well gets copied. How long before Vanilla Pepsi? Purple Coke? BTW: I do these taste tests for Pepsi, and I did a survey for them online YEARS ago (about 5) on whether I thought a Blue product would be good or not. I didn't taste it then but I answered some questions. My responses basically said it looked intriguing, and I thought many people would at least try it once just to see what it's like.

looks good... i thought pepsi blue was good but that didnt last obviously... :(

[molecularfire]

Really? Personally, I didn't like Pepsi blue. Tastes like mouthwash. I wasn't sure whether to drink or gargle it. :shrug:

[GraingerGuy]

I think out of all those that YanksFanRy posted....I'm going to have to go with the Vanilla Coke. (Acutally....I haven't tried the new Dr. Pepper stuff yet...but out of the rest of those...the Coke.)

What is the new Dr. Pepper stuff called?

[Punker_bob2004]

pepsi blue tastes like kool-aid on steroids :D

it's still around.

red fusion tastes like cherry soda almost...but with a doctor pepper flavoring..
there's also the green hawaiian punch
and then the minute maid juice soda's..

i, a pepsi loyalist, have gotten addicted on diet vanilla coke


so, what's the new 7up stuff called?

Regarding 7up gold..

It was around in the early-mid 90's. Looked like Ginger Ale with the gold clue color, but pretty much tasted like Crapa Cola :)

That was at the same time that Pepsi Clear came out.

[Emoocow]

The new 7up product is the opposite of 7up itself

7up...............dnL
no caffeine.......caffeine
clear.............green
lemon-lime........lime-lemon

this would be good to use when making a mixed drink because of the predominent lime flavor, but other then that it stinks.

For some reason, I always thought that "7up" was "lime-lemon" soda anyway... especially when they used to have Geoffrey Holder (the voodoo guy from James Bond's "Live and Let Die") who used to advertise it as "The Uncola" back in the 70s. He called the flavor... "Limon" back then. :shrug:

lol wish i couldve seen that
