7-Up Ad Claims Soda is '100 Percent Natural'-Group Threatens to Sue Beverage Maker for Using the Healthy Title-ABC News by Lisa Stark
May 11, 2006 — Amidst the juices and waters you might choose when looking for a healthy beverage, you probably wouldn't think to grab a soda to satisfy that thirst. But can you? The makers of 7-Up are now promoting the carbonated beverage as "100 percent natural," and a non-profit group wants the ads changed.
