7-Up in 1929

When 7-Up was created in 1929, it contained lithium, a mood-stabilizing drug.
"In a column published in The New York Times, Cornell University professor Anna Fels wrote: “Lithium drinks were in huge demand for their reputed health-giving properties, so much so that the element was added to commercial drinks. 7-Up was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda and contained lithium citrate right up until 1950. In fact, it’s been suggested that the 7 in 7-Up refers to the atomic mass of the lithium. (Maybe the “Up” referred to mood?).”
Grigg shortened the name to “7-Up Lithiated Lemon-Lime” and eventually just called it 7-Up. He changed the name of his company from “Howdy” to “The Seven Up Corporation” and by the 1940s, 7-Up was the third best-selling soft drink in the world."
