where did the name 7 up come from
7 Up A myth exists that the 7 Up name comes from the drink having a pH over 7. That would make it neutral or basic on the scale; however, this is not the case, as the 7 Up pH is close to 3.79, similar to other drinks of the type.[4] The real origin of the name is unclear,[5] though Britvic claims that the name comes from the seven main ingredients in the drink,[6] while others have claimed that the number was a coded reference to the lithium contained in the original recipe, which has an atomic mass around 7.[7] Britvic also claims that the name be a result of the fact that 7 Up was bottled in 7-ounce bottles (Coca-Cola and most other soft drinks were bottled in 6-ounce bottles).[6]
S Club 7 Once the final line-up was decided, they flew to Italy to become acquainted with each other.[14] Speaking about this first meeting, Stevens remarked that the group "felt comfortable with each other from the beginning".[14] Several members of the group have since stated that the "S" in S Club 7 stands for Simon, after the group's creator, although the official line has always been ambiguous.[12] The group's entry on the Popjustice website states that at one point they were nearly called "Sugar Club" instead of the name that stuck.[15] Another theory is that the group is so-named because "S" is the first letter of the word "seven". McIntosh, in a December 2012 interview, said a lot of Simon Fuller's success has been based on the number 19 (owning 19 Entertainment); therefore, as "S" is the 19th letter of the alphabet, the "S" was put into S Club 7.[16]
