Can you actually tell the difference? Like I said before, I'm not fond of sodas. But I drink it once in awhile. I like Sprite if it's cold. Taste awful if it's not cold, it's like I'm needing water. Well, I haven't seen 7-Up in a long time actually. I don't even think that we have it here anymore! I haven't seen it in ages, I guess the last I had it was like when I was in Elementary. I don't know, does 7-Up still exists in the market? Cause I do like it better for sure than Sprite!

Yup! 7-Up is still out in our local market. Well, I'm not conscious about soda brands as long as it quenches my thirst and ice cold. I prefer 7-up than Sprite because it's cheaper. Everytime I drink 7-Up it reminds me of their Piddo Diddo commercial when I was younger then. Cool!

yes, 7-up is still in the market. I have seen a lot of them still. But for me, I like sprite better than 7-up. It taste good and you are right!! cold sprite is better than natural, I mean not cold.

There is totally a difference between 7-Up and Sprite, just as there is one between Coke and Pepsi. I personally drink Sprite and Sprite only when I drink soda.
We do have 7-Up here as some places that is all they sell and then I have to get something other then a soda to drink.

Sierra Mist FTW! Yeah, 7-Up still exists. In my opinion, Sprite has a little more jazz or something to it. Actually, the best kind of Sprite was that tropical fruit variety they used to make. I still think Sierra Mist is the best of the lemon-lime sodas, but I prefer other sodas.

7-UP does still exist in the market in Europa for sure :) it taste almost the same like Sprite and Sprite is a little bit sweeter I think and their spots on TV are better than 7-Up well it is actually hard to say which one is better, the taste can be different when you eat or not something. I think the colors are a little bit different, 7-Up is so "white" - transparent, Sprite is more "yellow/green" - transparent. Nice question anyway :) and you right, almost every "cold" drink is better when it is cold :)

They actually taste quite the same. But I don't know, I like Sprite more. It's got something to do with the fizz. I think 7-Up is fizzier (is there such a word? haha!) and I don't like the way it feels on my throat, hehe.
And yup, 7-Up is still in the market. :)

I really like 7up more. i think it's sweeter and therefore yummier. But for a while 7up was gone. Like I just couldn't find it in my country. So then I switched to Sprite and realized that the two were just the same. And now i don't really have a preference anymore. If there's sprite, then I'll take it. If there's both Sprite and 7Up then I'll chose 7up, but only if it's there. :)

I like Sierra Mist better than those. 7 Up is still around.
I only like Sprite and 7up if I am sick. Sierra Mist I love all around. Its what I like to drink before bed if I am not wanting water and don't need the caffeine.

I don't like either of these two drinks but if I have to choose I take Sprite. It tastes better than 7-Up. If I drink soda drinks, I choose coke or fanta

7-Up for sure. Sprite is good, but 7-up is better. It is still out there, but just hard to find!

Man, i really don't remember too clearly what 7-up tastes like! I can't remember the last time I even saw one. But from what I remember, 7-up had a heavy taste to it while sprite always seem to have a lighter feeling to it, and a clear crisp taste. So I think I am going to have to go with sprite on this one, even if I don't like em as much as the other soda's ;)

I really don't taste that much difference, I do prefer coke products more. But 7 up is pretty good as well. It does have more bubbles in it. Other than that, there's not much difference. Well, you use sprite or 7up not cold when your mouth is burning, after taking something far to spicy for your palate. That'll do the trick.

Yeah, I believe that 7up still exists.
Well, I think.... Haha
I've always thought that Sprite/Sierra Mist/7-up tasted the same.
I'm more of a Mountain Dew type of girl, though.
Haha
