Lol I just noticed multiple votes are allowed on the poll. I voted for both... or neither depending on how you look at allowing someone to vote for both options when asking a binary question.

7up used to be the best of the clear pop's, until they changed the formula to make it taste more like Sprite.
I miss my 90's 7up.

One thing we can't get in the states is "Lemonade" as in, Scottish 7UP style lemon flavored soda - it was a bit more lemony obviously, but 7UP and Sprite aren't quite like it.

I couldn't find a picture of Globe's lemonade, company long since bought and probably by Barr's (Irn Bru company) but we were a Globe family.

I found Sun Kool cola though. Red Kola was my other jam. I bet there's still bottles out there, in abandoned crofts and bunkers.

Red Kola is sort of "red" flavored. But it was astoundingly carbonated and sweet. Like becoming a crimson human Pop-Rock.

7up was straight up replaced with Sprite in Denmark somewhere in the 90ies. I haven't tasted a 7up since.

Mountain Dew Ice is sooooo much better than both. I think a 20oz bottle will only set you back around 40g of sugar and 160 cals. Tastes better AND has caffeine!

UK here and 7up is still a thing. Definitely prefer the less sugary, more lemony and more carbonated properties of 7up.

Up until a couple years ago I would've said 7up. But the last case of 7up I bought tasted awful. It's been awhile since I've had it so I don't know if it was a bad batch, I've gotten bad cases of other pops before, or if was a change to the formula. It was so bad I coudnt finish it, and has sapped the will to try it again.

I don't drink Sprite very often, but I do tend to get it at the movies for some reason.

I've only had the zero calorie versions lately and 7up is far superior. 7up has a citrus flavour where as Sprite Zero is sweeter(why I think people vote for it) but has this lingering chemical taste that many other zero calorie drinks don't that I find gross.

Regular 7up is better than regular Sprite, but that orange and cherry Sprite Lebron Mix thing was fucking awesome and I miss it.

I also like Sierra Mist though it's pretty close to 7Up. Between the two 7Up 10/10 times, Sprite has an after taste I cannot stand. Sprite is like flat 7Up.



There's also Cherry 7Up which was awesome back in the day before they changed it in the early 2000s and I stopped buying it until a couple years ago and tastes like they either tweaked it again or changed it back.

7-up always tasted a bit more like lemon and Sprite a bit more like lime.
I love both but I would go with 7-up

I'll take back what I said in this thread. This is the best citrus soda I've ever had IN MY LIFE

7-up, Perrier, and Lacroix all taste like fruit loops. Topo Chico has real lime flavor. But this is the real deal right here
