what soft drink was originally called bib label lithiated lemon lime soda
The formula for the lemon-lime soda later called 7up was invented by Charles Leiper Grigg of the Howdy corporation in St. Louis, MO. The product was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lim Soda and contained lithium citrate, a mood stabilizer. The drink was first sold in St. Louis in 1928 and then was granted federal patent under the name Seven Up in 1929. The ingredient was abandoned in 1950, as lithium was found to cause side effects such as dizziness, nausea, and thyroid problems.
