seven-up candy bar. Older than 7-up the beverage, the seven-up candy bar got it's name from having seven different connected peices, each with a different flavor center. The bar originated in the 1930's, before 7-up started bottling soda, so Trudeau Candy Company owned the rights to the name. Eventually 7-Up bottling company bought out the candy and retired it, so they would have %100 rights to the name.
