7-up tastes a little sweeter than Sprite. Sprite is 196 1 lemon-flavored soft drink ingredients introduced in the United States: carbonated water, sugar, citric acid, spices and sodium benzoate. Sprite, or fructose corn syrup, was originally the name of a child in Coca-Cola advertisements. Sprite boy smiles brightly in the advertisement and wears "delicious". Later, the Coca-Cola Company gave a catchy name "Sprite" to the new lemon-flavored soft drink. Sprite, the parent company of Coca-Cola, not only has extremely strong financial strength, but also has more than 100 years of market experience in the world, and has many absolutely leading brands in the world beverage market. Moreover, Sprite beverage was launched in the American market on 196 1, and it quickly grew into one of the best-selling brands in the world carbonated beverage market. Today, Sprite's operating income has accounted for a large proportion of Coca-Cola's total income. Coca-Cola regards "Sprite" as the main strategic brand introduced into China market, and transliterates it as "Sprite" by blending it with China traditional culture. In Chinese, it means purity and coolness, which reminds people of a piece of white snow and a pool of clear water on a hot summer day, and suddenly there is a coolness, resulting in an "irresistible temptation." Sprite has always pursued the strategy of world-class celebrity endorsement. Amy, the international diva, and Fu Mingxia, the world diving queen, have successively interpreted the brand connotation of young fashion. The slogan of "bright crystal, bright heart" has become a "ballad" that the younger generation is scrambling to preach, and its brand awareness is almost known to women and children. Sprite has become the absolute leading brand in the lemon-flavored carbonated beverage market in China. 7-Up: 7-up soda 7-up (English original name: 7-up) is the lemonade brand of Dr Pepper/Seven Up Company, which started to produce bottled products from 1987. Outside the United States, 7-up is a registered trademark of PepsiCo. Qixi was originally named Bib-Label litered Lemon-lime soda, and started production in St. Louis, Missouri on 1929. It originally contained lithium citrate, a sedative. Many early drinks contained pharmaceutical ingredients. This ingredient has been deleted from the formula of 1950. The seven great happiness in history was created by Charles Gligo, the founder of Haodi Company. Its previous product was called Haodi orange soda. After more than two years of trying different formulas. Charles hopes that this new formula will bring different feelings to consumers. He started producing its products two weeks before the 1929 financial crisis. Charles never explained why the product was called 7-up. The most common saying is that 7 and U mean that 7-up contains 7 kinds of spices and has been carbonated. In the United States from 65438 to 0920s, the economy was very depressed, and nearly 600 kinds of soft drinks disappeared from the market. Qixi survived the competition. Because of the success of 7-up, Charles renamed the company 7-up. In the following days, 7-up's competitor is Sprite of Coca-Cola Company. Sprite began to surpass 7-up in 1980s. PepsiCo produced its own brand of lemonade in the 1990s. Because of its small market share, 7-up's sales volume is getting less and less, and at the same time, PepsiCo also feels the increasing pressure from its rival Sprite, so PepsiCo gave up the surf brand and bought the overseas sales right of 7-up, keeping 7-up and its own market share. The Chinese translation of the Chinese name 7up was first translated by a Hong Kong company. 7up literally translates as "Qiqi", but its literal meaning is not good, so it takes its Cantonese homonym "Qixi" as the official Chinese name. Later, Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province were directly named after 7-up.
