Ingredients are, Carbonated water, sugar and or corn sweetener, citric acid, sodium citrate, natural lemon and lime flavors. I didn't even notice they were listed on the cap in super small hard to read text, Some people commented that I missed that so here they are. Thanks for watching.
"that flavor" is 7UP from the 1970's that has spoiled. It has always been clear, I am old enough that I drank it from those glass bottles many times, it is SUPPOSED to be clear, that bottle has clearly gone bad, sealed or not.
Agreed. As a kid in the 70s I preferred 7-UP to Coke, and it was definitely clear and lemony. Also, the inside of the cap had a very distinctive smell, like lemon, sugar and rubber. Or at least that's what it seemed like to me, but I was pretty young.
Was gunna say.... I used to work in a produce wherehouse lemons and limes would spoil something fierce at random and super fast. If that had real lemon and lime juice in it even sealed there is no way it would still be good. The taste and darker colour would be the microbes that broke down the lemon and lime juice. That's also why you wouldn't smell anything much more then the sugar all the lemon lime juice has gone rotten. Probably tiny mold particals all threw out the liquid now. Again adding to the colour diffrence, after taste and smell.
Seeing this bottle made a lot of nice memories rush through my mind. Like my family gathering around Sunday afternoon and enjoying a great meal and having this styled bottle on the table back in the 70s..
Evoking da Past As far as I can remember it was always colorless. I think the "7" meant that it only contained 7 ingredients and the "up" is the bubbles that rise up..
i was pepsi addict. started drinking it when it came in thick returnable tall glass bottles. and i remember winning all kinds free stuff with the under the cap games.maybe because i drank so much of the crap.....
@@PantyhoseExperience yes i think you are right. I used to collect all those old pepsi bottles and cans special ones and all but lost them all in hurricane andrew Miami.
Plastic bottles are safer lol think before commenting plus less sugary whic makes it better and if acciedentally drop the plastic bottle its safe cuz it won't break. The old one is dangerous if you drop it lol
I rarely got soda pop as a kid; the only time I drank 7-UP brand was when I was sick. Mom must’ve thought it was a ‘cure-all’. So this really brings back memories of staying home from school in the 70s, watching Match Game or Captain Kangaroo 😂
@@wyomingadventures with an estimated _40 MILLION_ ILLEGALs in the USA we may want to consider what part we might be playing in allowing them to stay here. buy local, eat local, buy American made products...it's a start.
I really like these videos they bring back memories. When plastic bottles first came out they where half decent and they had a stabilizer protective bottom that people would use as planters for seedlings. Nowadays shit is so thin a cheaply made that some water bottles are almost the consistency of a plastic sandwich bag. Glass is way better, less toxic and is nothing more than super heated sand. We should go back to that, anyway that's my thought.
you know you dont see broken glass all over the place anymore though. as a 70s kid with a few sliced feet from glass on the beach. now most of that glass has smoothed down with wear. But we are now drowning in plastic.
One of the reasons given as to why pop bottlers changed from glass to plastic, was that when they came out with the larger bottles, it was found that in a fall, the shrapnel from the glass should disperse from the floor, into people's face.
I drank 7-up a lot in the 70s. It was water clear and had a refreshing, very bubbly and good lemon-lime flavor, but it was dry, well suited for use as a cocktail mixer. when Sprite came out it had a stronger flavor, and was sweeter, not nearly as dry.
@@HelloKittyFanMan. "dry" means non-sweet when discussing drinks. But this person is wrong. i also drank 7-up in the 70s and it certainly wasn't dry, it was sweet.
@@jimchabai3163 dry is a mouthfeel not a flavor, some things can be sweet and "dry" at the same time; although sweet things are usually not dry in general so I can see where the confusion comes from but the combination does exist: most notably in red wine, but there are some fairly dry sodas and soft drinks out there (especially but not limited to clear-ish ones.)

Becky They were all glass (except for the canned sodas) back in the early 70’s. We returned them to the store when they were empty. They were washed out, sterilized and reused.
I've seen fancier. Wellston, Ohio was the home to ski and double cola. It was invented in the 30s or 40s. The was a store front near the bottling plant that had some of the original bottles on display. One had a real long neck on it.
COLBY CRAWFORD I find that really interesting this we’re really different back then. I was born in the late 90s almost 2000’s so all I’ve ever experienced is plastic bottles/cans
I just found your channel and have been binge-watching everything. You have probably the most interesting videos. I can't wait to see your future soda experiments.
The lower ring around the older metal cap was never intended to stay on the glass bottle. It had split sections to indicate that it had never been opened before, it always came off with the cap
I guess I'm the only one who noticed this, but take a look at the cap on the glass bottle. You'll notice that the 7Up logo is the more modern logo. That means they were just changing over to the new logo and I remember it well when that happened. I want to say it was about 1978 or so. I could be wrong but if you can figure out when they change the logo oh, you'll know exactly when that glass one was bottled.
When I was a kid we would walk around the neighborhood looking for soda bottles so we could turn them in for change and buy more soda. And the soda cans were tin instead of aluminum and they had pull tabs instead of flip tabs. I thought it was the weirdest thing in the world when they changed to plastic and aluminum.
That's crazy! The amount of work you must had to do for another Soda... How are you ever going to feel entitled if you have to earn what you get? No wonder they got rid of glass bottles.

people why are you asking me wat the hell is the difference between clear and yellow are you insane? clear you can see through it and yellow is like the sun duh
I remember when the plastic bottles came out they were advertised as Unbreakable. About 25 years ago my son knocked a Sundrop bottle off a stool it landed perfectly on the plastic lid and cracked it. Took off like a goddamn rocket. Sundrop on the ceiling Sundrop on the walls Sundrop on the floor Sundrop everywhere. damn that was a mess took 2 days to clean up! Yeah I like the glass ones better had a fresher taste.
Good to see you on camera again. Great video as always. I though for sure the old bottle was going to run over, but you had it under control. I noticed the color difference right away. I kinda remember it being that color when I was a kid. Had forgotten the newer version is clear.
7Up was as clear back then as it is now. The likely reason it is an amber color is the effect the sugar had on the beverage after 44 years. If I remember correctly, I believe that beverage makers used cane sugar in those days, well before the HFCS that was used much later. Also, when whiskey and scotch are first formulated, they too have a clear color initially, but after many many years of aging, they eventually get their distinctive amber color similar to the old 7Up soda today. and pure sugar is used to age the liquor. Also, it did have the more lemon taste back then as well. What you have is the result of 44 years of aging.
Yes, perhaps caramelization took place. While it wasn't exposed to the high temperature normally needed, perhaps the energy from sunlight and/or warm warehousing was enough to cause it. There is plenty of oxygen in the bottle already in both the water and carbon-dioxide, but energy is required to liberate it.
Back in earlier times my parents bought RC cola. It came in bottles and was sealed with a metal pry off cap that had a cork liner. In every 8 pack you'd have the chance to win 10 cents and sometimes 20 or 30 cents if you were lucky. You'd peel off the cork in the lids and your prize would be revealed. ~~This has been your history lesson for today. :)
I was a child in the '60s. I was given 7up when sick. Mom said it was the only thing I could keep down. It soothed the flu. There were no twist off caps. You used a bottle opener and instead of a plastic seal in the cap, it had a cork seal. We saved the empty bottles and took them back the store for deposit refund. In California, 3 cents for 12 and 16 ounce bottles and 5 cents for quart bottles. In the 70's, that went up to 5 cents and 10 cents. Keep the cool videos coming! BTW, Good to see you.
I remember when RC cola was in glass bottles I once bought one when they were. I know RC cola disappeared for awhile but I'm glad they brought it back though I missed it when it was gone. I wish Jolt cola would be brought back again sometime
That older bottle probably has real sugar in it. Years ago we were cleaning out a warehouse and found about 100 cases of 20ish year old Gruber's Cream Soda. They were glass returnable bottles in wooden cases with a "crown cork" that you had to use an opener. In the cases that got sunlight the soda was sort of caramel colored and some had sediment in the bottom. The rest were full of the best cream soda I ever drank
My dad used to drive and deliver 7UP back in the early 60s. The bottles were glass and in wooden cases. It kept him in good shape having to lift those heavy cases. I remember getting a bottle out of the machine as a kid. You could pull the top off with a bottle opener on the machine. He went on to open a Sunoco station and do what he loved best. He was a mechanic.
Thanks for sharing these videos ,I'm new to this channel and glad to learn about items from years ago and today I like the old 7up bottles in glass., the old 7up bottle looked like ginger ale how time have changed lol .
i feel sad for americans with that shit. they still use cane sugar in australia. i dont think they use corn syrup in literally anything. ive never seen it on an ingredients list. its either sugar or glucose. only time i seen it was when i went to america
I remember the old bottles and what soft drinks including 7 UP were like. It was a rare treat back then to have a soda. The small bottles had a 2 cent deposit on them that went up to 5 cents around 1975. The bottle you have there was the family sized bottle. The old soda was sweetened with cane sugar. That made a difference in the taste.
Something "turned" in the original soda over the years... Seven Up was a staple treat around our house back then... I remember it well. It was very clear, it was very "light tasting". I'm pretty certain that all sodas had actual cane sugar in 'em until about the late 80's, so I'm thinking that maybe the sugar in that bottle may have started to ferment with the lemon juice, causing it to darken and taste funky. CHEERS!
The old one turned brownish over the years. It wasn't originally that color. Also; the old one doesn't have as much bubbles due to carbon escaping in minute amounts over the years.
How about if a 7 up employee was quitting and he pissed in that bottle thinking someone would open it and smell it and 7 up would be in big trouble and now you opened it 45 years later thinking it was old 7 up
Wow, I haven't seen a 70's 7 UP bottle in forever! Brings back so many memories. Interesting about the colors of them both. Going to watch your next vlog now to see what results you came up with after boiling the old and new products.
I remember the glass bottles. My grandma mixed 7up 50-50 with Ocean Spray cranberry juice and added ice to the pitcher. It was great on shot day after working outside in the sun. Glass bottles keep the flavor longer. It must have turned yellow over time as I distinctly remember it being colorless! Fascinating!
I have old family photos from before I was born from the late 70s with everyone sitting around the table with these same exact 7up bottles! So cool to see them here. :)
I remember when coke and 7-up was in a 8 oz bottle and the cost was 6 cents with a return bottle or 8 cents without a return bottle. I use to save up all my bottles then bring them to the store for the deposit and get a free soda pop
@@rupe53 Your right I couldn't remember that well it's been so long ago it was 6.5 then later they went to a bigger bottle and the price went up to 12 cents. Thanks for correcting me
I really like this guy he is very cool. I swear he wears that old striped polo shirt to give the video a even more vintage look. That shirt looks like it's from the 70's.
What was that 7-up cartoon guy's name again. Was it Fido. In my neck of the woods, Sprite is more consumed as with other products of Coca-Cola than Pepsico's. Anyway, thank you for another interesting video.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, my mother used to buy soda at the store in big glass bottles. She bought them by the case, and return the empties in the same case. A plastic egg crate type deal. There used to be a big stack of empty bottles in those crates in the front of the grocery store
Since you were able to post this video, I assume that you are still amongst the living. interesting video! as I drank a lot of 7up in my youth I can assure you that it was clear back then. Not sure if I would drink any more of that stuff! Thanks for the video.
I remember seeing this bottle in my basement when I was little. It was in the 80's, so my parents either took way too long to return it, or this bottle wasn't updated until some time in the 80's.
Ingredients are, Carbonated water, sugar and or corn sweetener, citric acid, sodium citrate, natural lemon and lime flavors.

New England Wildlife & More Maybe you should have rolled the older version on the table in an effort to mix the ingredients.
@@mikk4185 Mixing is not necessary there was nothing settled
So you are drinking 44 years old 7 Up. Are you sure none of the ingredients disintegrate to something else after that long time?
That 1970s design is really cool.

I dropped a bottle of ginger ale when I was a kid. I can still remember my mom getting mad and making me pick up the glass in the driveway :)
Steve Wilson todays parents loose their shit at the thought of their kids doing anything like that
I remember when the plastic bottles came out they were advertised as Unbreakable. About 25 years ago my son knocked a Sundrop bottle off a stool it landed perfectly on the plastic lid and cracked it. Took off like a goddamn rocket. Sundrop on the ceiling Sundrop on the walls Sundrop on the floor Sundrop everywhere. damn that was a mess took 2 days to clean up! Yeah I like the glass ones better had a fresher taste.
Jason Northcutt sadly im too young to have had glass bottled soda :(
@@1986Honda4trax well it's sad that you didn't get to see America in a better state. But it's a good thing that you're further from the grave LOL .
Jason Northcutt yeah your right haha, at least i have people like you and this channel to see stuff from the past
Idk why I love your videos they are just so Interesting and fun to watch
Good to see you on camera again. Great video as always. I though for sure the old bottle was going to run over, but you had it under control. I noticed the color difference right away. I kinda remember it being that color when I was a kid. Had forgotten the newer version is clear.
The cap rim on the old bottles did not snap off.
Yeah, but do you think he knows about Madge as well....
7Up was as clear back then as it is now. The likely reason it is an amber color is the effect the sugar had on the beverage after 44 years. If I remember correctly, I believe that beverage makers used cane sugar in those days, well before the HFCS that was used much later. Also, when whiskey and scotch are first formulated, they too have a clear color initially, but after many many years of aging, they eventually get their distinctive amber color similar to the old 7Up soda today. and pure sugar is used to age the liquor. Also, it did have the more lemon taste back then as well. What you have is the result of 44 years of aging.
What an absolute treat tonight. Thank you for sharing
Your videos are always so Interesting!😀😀😀 You're the best!😀😀
It was clear when new. Looks like some chemical breakdown. The label was silk screened on.
Yes, perhaps caramelization took place. While it wasn't exposed to the high temperature normally needed, perhaps the energy from sunlight and/or warm warehousing was enough to cause it. There is plenty of oxygen in the bottle already in both the water and carbon-dioxide, but energy is required to liberate it.
Back in earlier times my parents bought RC cola. It came in bottles and was sealed with a metal pry off cap that had a cork liner. In every 8 pack you'd have the chance to win 10 cents and sometimes 20 or 30 cents if you were lucky. You'd peel off the cork in the lids and your prize would be revealed. ~~This has been your history lesson for today. :)
I was a child in the '60s. I was given 7up when sick. Mom said it was the only thing I could keep down. It soothed the flu. There were no twist off caps. You used a bottle opener and instead of a plastic seal in the cap, it had a cork seal. We saved the empty bottles and took them back the store for deposit refund. In California, 3 cents for 12 and 16 ounce bottles and 5 cents for quart bottles. In the 70's, that went up to 5 cents and 10 cents. Keep the cool videos coming! BTW, Good to see you.
I don't know why but i can't stop watching your videos😁
Soda pop does not last forever... the seventies soda has long since lost it's flavor and oxidized.....
I remember when RC cola was in glass bottles I once bought one when they were. I know RC cola disappeared for awhile but I'm glad they brought it back though I missed it when it was gone. I wish Jolt cola would be brought back again sometime
Jolt cola never went away~
My local dollar general down the street sells jolt
I loved slice in the 80s or minute maid orange can soda
Jolt cola is marketed strictly to dollar general...
It used to be sold everywhere back in the day
Your videos bring lots of memories.
Love it when you compare old and new! Thank you!🍋
Did he survive the test? I wouldn’t even taste a 40 year old soda.
That older bottle probably has real sugar in it. Years ago we were cleaning out a warehouse and found about 100 cases of 20ish year old Gruber's Cream Soda. They were glass returnable bottles in wooden cases with a "crown cork" that you had to use an opener. In the cases that got sunlight the soda was sort of caramel colored and some had sediment in the bottom. The rest were full of the best cream soda I ever drank
So freaking cool. Thank you for this!
My dad used to drive and deliver 7UP back in the early 60s. The bottles were glass and in wooden cases. It kept him in good shape having to lift those heavy cases. I remember getting a bottle out of the machine as a kid. You could pull the top off with a bottle opener on the machine. He went on to open a Sunoco station and do what he loved best. He was a mechanic.
I consider this as a “face reveal”.
Oh my God, he’s not only opening cans now, hE’S ALSO TESTING SOFT DRINKS FROM WAY BACK
These videos are awesome! Thank you for sharing would like to see some Vintage MTN Dew found some old glass bottles but sadly not sealed one's
Thanks for sharing these videos ,I'm new to this channel and glad to learn about items from years ago and today I like the old 7up bottles in glass., the old 7up bottle looked like ginger ale how time have changed lol .
I quit drinking soda in the late 70's because they started using corn syrup sweetener and it sucked compared to sugar,
i feel sad for americans with that shit. they still use cane sugar in australia. i dont think they use corn syrup in literally anything. ive never seen it on an ingredients list. its either sugar or glucose. only time i seen it was when i went to america
Holy mackerel❗❗❗😯😯😯 I can't believe that old ass 7-Up still has carbonation in it...🤔...I'm shook...💯✔
Wow thats interesting didn't know you could still get something that old, great video!
I remember the old bottles and what soft drinks including 7 UP were like. It was a rare treat back then to have a soda. The small bottles had a 2 cent deposit on them that went up to 5 cents around 1975. The bottle you have there was the family sized bottle. The old soda was sweetened with cane sugar. That made a difference in the taste.
Glass bottles ones of stored in a cool dark location last surprisingly long
Something "turned" in the original soda over the years... Seven Up was a staple treat around our house back then... I remember it well.
It was very clear, it was very "light tasting". I'm pretty certain that all sodas had actual cane sugar in 'em until about the late 80's, so I'm thinking that maybe the sugar in that bottle may have started to ferment with the lemon juice, causing it to darken and taste funky.
CHEERS!
You would make a phenomenal science teacher!
I remember when 7up bottles had the slogan.."You like it, it likes you" circa 1960s. Thanks for the memories!
The old one turned brownish over the years. It wasn't originally that color. Also; the old one doesn't have as much bubbles due to carbon escaping in minute amounts over the years.
How about if a 7 up employee was quitting and he pissed in that bottle thinking someone would open it and smell it and 7 up would be in big trouble and now you opened it 45 years later thinking it was old 7 up
I said omg don’t drink that. Lol I’m glad you’re still with us
Great videos brother keep them coming 👍
I like 7UP soda pop in glass bottle. Thanks, New England Wildlife & More.
Next video: drinking 1970s Mountain Dew
Wow, I haven't seen a 70's 7 UP bottle in forever! Brings back so many memories. Interesting about the colors of them both. Going to watch your next vlog now to see what results you came up with after boiling the old and new products.
I came to your channel at 18k subs .. now 43k 👍 well done man 👍 love the content, Always Very interesting 👍
The old one should have been clear also. It also should have had a strong lemon/ lime flavor. JT from Oregon
the old one might still have carbonation, but over the years might have lost other things. I remember the old 7up was clear, not yellow.
puppy cat I don’t think it’s supposed to be brown that man should not be consuming expired soda.....ew
I remember the glass bottles. My grandma mixed 7up 50-50 with Ocean Spray cranberry juice and added ice to the pitcher. It was great on shot day after working outside in the sun. Glass bottles keep the flavor longer. It must have turned yellow over time as I distinctly remember it being colorless! Fascinating!
I have old family photos from before I was born from the late 70s with everyone sitting around the table with these same exact 7up bottles! So cool to see them here. :)
I remember when coke and 7-up was in a 8 oz bottle and the cost was 6 cents with a return bottle or 8 cents without a return bottle. I use to save up all my bottles then bring them to the store for the deposit and get a free soda pop
Coke was never in an 8 oz bottle. The original Coke was 6.5 oz.
@@rupe53 Your right I couldn't remember that well it's been so long ago it was 6.5 then later they went to a bigger bottle and the price went up to 12 cents. Thanks for correcting me
High Fructose Corn syrup in the old one vs the new one is probably what is making the color yellow.
The old only used sugar, so you're wrong
Sugar in the old one..corn syrup is in the new
Most underrated channel on TH-cam
A face reveal! You look nice!
Interesting video, I like the 70’s bottle. :)
I really like this guy he is very cool. I swear he wears that old striped polo shirt to give the video a even more vintage look. That shirt looks like it's from the 70's.
Yes the big lapels.
What was that 7-up cartoon guy's name again. Was it Fido. In my neck of the woods, Sprite is more consumed as with other products of Coca-Cola than Pepsico's.
Anyway, thank you for another interesting video.

Very interesting. The old 7 up color looks like beer or apple juice . Thanks for sharing😊
When I was a kid in the 1970s, my mother used to buy soda at the store in big glass bottles. She bought them by the case, and return the empties in the same case. A plastic egg crate type deal. There used to be a big stack of empty bottles in those crates in the front of the grocery store
"What is the expiry date of this?"
"Yes."
😂😂
I love 7up...it’s always been my favorite lemon-lime soda. Sprite and Sierra Mist never could compare 😑
Since you were able to post this video, I assume that you are still amongst the living. interesting video! as I drank a lot of 7up in my youth I can assure you that it was clear back then. Not sure if I would drink any more of that stuff! Thanks for the video.
I remember seeing this bottle in my basement when I was little. It was in the 80's, so my parents either took way too long to return it, or this bottle wasn't updated until some time in the 80's.
