7UP Zero Sugar soft drink

7UP is a globally recognized lemon-lime flavored soft drink that was originally created in 1929 by Charles Leiper Grigg in St. Louis, Missouri. Initially launched under the name 'Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda', it was later shortened to the iconic 7UP in 1936. The brand has a unique history, having been owned by several major entities including Philip Morris and Cadbury Schweppes before reaching its current split ownership structure.

In the modern landscape, the 7UP brand operates under a dual ownership model. While Keurig Dr Pepper owns the rights within the United States, PepsiCo owns and manages the brand in all international markets, including Europe and Finland. In the Finnish market, the product is manufactured and distributed under license by Oy Hartwall Ab, a prominent local beverage company based in Helsinki and Lahti, ensuring that the version sold in Finland is produced locally using domestic resources.
