Crisp and clean, and no caffeine.

Geoffrey Holder, the hearty laugh of 7UP, has died at 84.

I’ve had a steady supply of 7UP in my fridge since the eighties, and will never even touch Sprite. I even bought a 7UP golf bag on eBay in the nineties. In hindsight, my lifelong allegiance to the 7UP brand probably has lots to do with this guy.

RELATED: I’ve gotta cut the 7UP out of the diet next year as much as possible. Soda is bad times, caffeine-free or not.
