7 Up
7 Up (stylized as 7up outside North America) is an American brand of lemon-lime-flavored non-caffeinated soft drink. The brand and formula are owned by Keurig Dr Pepper although the beverage is internationally distributed by PepsiCo. 7 Up competes primarily against The Coca-Cola Company's Sprite. History 7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948. It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. 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 revised name is unclear. Britvic claims that the name comes from th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seven Up!
The ''Up'' series of documentary films follows the lives of ten males and four females in England beginning in 1964, when they were seven years old. The first film was titled ''Seven Up!'', with later films adjusting the number in the title to match the age of the subjects at the time of filming. The documentary has had nine episodes—one every seven years—thus spanning 56 years. The series has been produced by Granada Television for ITV, which has broadcast all of them except ''42 Up'' (1998), which was broadcast on BBC One. Individual films and the series as a whole have received numerous accolades; in 1991 the then-latest instalment, ''28 Up'', was chosen for Roger Ebert's list of the ten greatest films of all time. The children were selected for the original programme to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the expectation that each child's social class would determine their future. The first instalment was made as a one-off ed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Seven-Ups
''The Seven-Ups'' is a 1973 American neo-noir mystery action film produced and directed by Philip D'Antoni. It stars Roy Scheider as a crusading policeman who is the leader of the Seven-Ups, a squad of plainclothes officers who use dirty, unorthodox tactics to snare their quarry on charges leading to prison sentences of seven years or more upon prosecution, hence the name of the team. D'Antoni took his sole directing credit on this film. He was earlier responsible for producing the action thriller ''Bullitt'', followed by '' The French Connection'', which won him the 1971 Academy Award for Best Picture. All three feature a memorable car chase sequence. Several other people who worked on ''The French Connection'' were also involved in this film, such as Scheider, screenwriter and police technical advisor Sonny Grosso, composer Don Ellis, and stunt coordinator Bill Hickman. 20th Century Fox was again the distributor. Buddy Manucci, played by Scheider, is a loose remake of the char ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seven Up (game)
Heads up, seven up (sometimes called Thumbs up, seven up or Heads down or Heads down Thumbs up) is a game where each selected participant with their hands raised has to guess who tapped their heads. It is played traditionally in elementary schools. Gameplay To start the game, seven or another number of individuals are selected and come to the front of the room. The selected player says, "Heads down, thumbs up!" or "Heads down all around!" The participants who remain in their seats are to put their heads on the table/desk with their eyes closed and keep one thumb up. The chosen "seven up" children then circulate around the room, secretly pressing down one thumb each and then returning to the front of the room. A variation is simply tapping the person. This part of the game takes about one minute. The selected player then calls, "Heads up, seven up!" or "Heads up, stand up!" All participants raise their heads and the participants whose thumbs were pressed stand up. Each in tu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seven Up (card Game)
All Fours is a traditional English card game, once popular in pubs and taverns as well as among the gentry, that flourished as a gambling game until the end of the 19th century. It is a trick-taking card game that was originally designed for two players, but developed variants for more players. According to Cotton, the game originated in Kent, but spread to the whole of England and eventually abroad. It is the eponymous and earliest recorded game of a family that flourished most in 19th century North America and whose progeny include Pitch, Pedro and Cinch, games that even competed with Poker and Euchre. Nowadays the original game is especially popular in Trinidad and Tobago, but regional variants have also survived in England. The game's "great mark of distinction" is that it gave the name 'Jack' to the card previously known as the Knave.. The game has a number of unusual features. In trick play, players are allowed to trump instead of following suit even if they could. The t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
