Here's looking ahead to the next Zilch experience!

Overall, it created a pleasant taste experience and something far different from the norm.

Pomegranate 7Up is basically Cadbury Schweppes' take on last holiday season's Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash from PepsiCo. It's a subtle, not very sweet, tasty addition to the 7Up lineup, whether partaken alone, with food, or as part of a mixed beverage. It's pretty good!
