this is pretty interesting.  It's similar to the design my friend and I made when we tried to turn a can of Mountain Dew into Whupass Cola.  It does look authentic though.

Looks interesting, and, as far as I can see, real. Delicious? Who knows...

Somebody in the marketing department had too much time on their hands.  ::)  

It does look clever, though!  ;)

which is of course ridiculous.. if the soda doesn't sell well, and doesn't develop a following, it'll never be worth anything.. lottery tickets are a better bet..

Much to my suprise, It is not a joke.  I Just Checked the Official webpage and they are serious.

Here is a quote:

7 UP turned the cola world upside down in 1967 when it introduced its famous "UNcola" marketing campaign, which featured the crisp, clear taste of 7 UP in an upside-down cola glass.  Today, the makers of 7 UP once again have turned the soft drink world upside down with the first delivery of dnL – the flipped version of 7 UP that offers consumers a green, caffeinated kick of fruit flavor

And me thinking it was an Ebay prank.

Howard, do you realize if you turn Pepsi upside down and backwards and sound it out it's "Is dead"...  :o  (Maybe they'll introduce it for the Halloween season  ;))

EBay, the site created to trade pez dispensers, the site that climbed the mountain to success on the squishy backs of beanie babies.  You can find anything on EBay, although their WEIRD section isn't weird enough, or nearly as weird as it used to be.

I'd rather drink a cola that tastes dead than a cola that tastes morbid. Take take, Naky Guy. ;D

I just bought a couple of bottles of it today.  I want to give it a try.

Edited to add:

Tried it and I don't like it.  But it's at least better than Pepsi Blue.
