I've never seen the Fresh Up slogan. Nice vintage find.

This is a reminder from the past. Luckily for us, some of these historic brands are still going strong.
Good eye to spot this and capture it so well.

Like the high contrast here with rich, buttery darks and equally rich whites. The short DOF works nicely, too.

Good use of DOF & light. I'd enjoy having a box like that to use as a planter for flowers.

Another great shot that wouldn't work the same in color.

Been a long time since I've seen/heard the 'fresh-up' saying. Love the shadow and light.

Wow, an antique 7-Up case, that's a first. Like the light split.

Like the box - like the shadow and like the composition of both :}

Great image. I don't know much about my camera yet, but hopefully, I will get more proficient with it.

I had no idea that 7-UP was older than a few years... I find this picture rather ironic, as I find it odd when I see brands as "old" or presented as "historic" objects, taking on more meaning than the product itself could have. How can a gently carbonated, lemon-flavoured drink be "historic"? This photo has an aged and "classic" look to it, but it's modern. Food (or drink) for thought :)

@cat: cat, it's been interesting to me how people have reacted to this being a 7-UP box. it barely registered with me when i took the shot. it really could have said anything. i know coca-cola is as old as the hills, but i hadn't really thought about this one.

I love this!
7up was the first pop I ever tried as a child, and I remember my grandfather laughing as the bubbles from the fizz when up my nose as I mad and obviously funny face. What is cool about this, I do remember him having a box like this in his garage. Thank you for this :)
