“delicious blended food drink”!

Advertising written by the utterly deranged

Wouldn't this curdle? I can kind of see how it would be a distant cousin of a creamsicle or a root beer float, but I think it's going to get chunky. Maybe the "natural lemon flavor" is refined enough that it wont, I don't know. I don't have either ingredient on hand to try it for science.

First off, it really is tasty.

Second, given when this add is from, it is likely that the milk consumed by many who read this ad was close to or equivalent to the best "artisan farmer" organic milk you can find today, and the 7-Up was likely still using pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.

Not wholesome, but also not the toxic sludge it would be today.

Wait a minute... was this back when 7-up was still lithiated?

with a decidedly different appeal…

That does not inspire confidence

It’s no Beef Fizz

I was a kid growing up in 80s Japan & they had this drink called “Calpis” and it was milk and orange soda. And yes, the Japanese pronounced it like “cow piss”. I hated it.

I kind of want to try this...

I've seen children whose teeth had rotten due to being bottle-fed soda and in extreme cases it leads to them getting sick and having the teeth surgically removed. As a result those children's adult teeth almost certainly will not grow in proper alignment and it can lead to a lifetime of inconvenience at best.

Is Pepsi okay? This is very gross, please send a wellness check.

🤢 "wHoLeSoMe" 🤢

I wonder how many mothers back then read that and thought:

"No I do NOT know. In fact my instincts tell me this is bullshit."

Huh? I thought citric acid makes milk curdle

Why are people out here attacking my pilk? (Pepsi + milk)

It's not that different from a New York Egg Cream, which is chocolate syrup and club soda mixed with milk

As any Irish mammy will tell you, a flat, warm 7-Up is the cure for all childhood illnesses.

It likes me
