| Share  The Question:  What does the "7" in "7-Up" stand for or
mean?  The Answer:  Unfortunately, nobody seems to know the
exact origin of name 7-Up.  The popular lemon-lime flavored soft
drink was created by Charles Leiper Grigg in 1929.  His first
name for the new soda was "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda."
That became "7-Up Lithiated Lemon-Lime," before Grigg settled on
simply "7-Up."  According to the official web site of 7-Up,
which has been a product of the Cadbury Schweppes Company since
1995, there are several theories about how Grigg came up with
the unusual name.  Here are the most plausible stories.      He
named it after a cattle brand he saw that looked like a "7 Up."
He thought of it while rooting for sevens during a game of
craps.      7-Up has seven ingredients.      The words "seven
up" have seven letters.      The original 7-Up bottle held seven
ounces.  —The Editors  24 X 7  Private Tutor  Click Here for
