It looks like it would be a really nice and refreshing drink to have too.
Not sure I ever stopped being an adolescentThey are all very similar, though there are differences. There is something in 7up that I don't like. Some are sweeter than others. I don't know if Squirt is still around, but it was less sweet and more sour, though there was no doubt plenty of sugar in it. That Shurfine stuff is cheap, which probably has a lot to do with why I like it. No bloated advertising campaign to pay for.
There was a "throwback" version in stores some years ago, actually with the word on the label. It was supposedly the original formula or something. It was nasty. Can't believe I liked it when it came out, back when I was ten or something. Of course, I usually had a Three Musketeers bar to go with it. <shudder> It's a wonder I turned out so normal.
Mountain Dew has come to be associated with testosterone fueled adolescent behavior, which is probably no accident as it contains insane amounts of caffeine and loads of sugar. Red Bull and that ilk "improved" on it and spawned many imitations.
Might be this.

I had drunk 7Up as my preferred soda (Is that the correct American for 'Fizzy Drink'? ) since I was 5. I've always disliked Cola, of whatever brand.
Indeed Mountain Dew was so packed with sugar it had to be chilled to drink it, but the same is true of Red Bull etc. And 'The Dew' was a heck of a lot cheaper.
Ooh, I loved that!! That used to be the drink my parents would allow me to have on a holiday abroad so it used to be a real treat for me!I like Lilt
I had that in India. And yes it tasted like bubble gum.
Veeeeeddy Eeenterestink. I may have to try it.
I take it your talking bourbon not scotch?
In the US it's probably blended whiskey with a mild rye flavor, but bourbon wold be a possibility.
I'm not even going to look, My imagination is more than equal to the task.

I once tried 'San Pellegrino limonata' wow that was sharp, tasted like carbonated lemon juice.
They've recently changed the taste of their drinks, not for the better.
The blood orange one was ok but I think a small amount of sweetening is needed for lemon beverages, if they are designed to be drunk on their own rather than, as with bitter lemon, used as a mixer.
They removed a lot of sugar because of all this 'sugar tax' nonsense.
I tried it many years ago just after it became available in most shops and bars, I haven't gone back for seconds
It's not for everyone, I guess. I've gone off it now the taste has changed.
I've often wondered if it would be nice. I'll take your advice and avoid it! Lol!
When I was in India in 1988/89, Thums Up was the king of the soft drinks, and apparently it's still going strong. But boy, is it sweet!!
Removing the sugar can actually remove a lot of the taste too.
Yup, when I want to California I tried the root beer that teenagers in American literature drank. It was soooo sweet. Could hardly finish it.
