Additional Information	There was a great deal of interest in chewing in the early 20th century. British Tycoon, Horace Fletcher, was the man behind this craze. His theory was that a person needed to chew their food at least 40 times before they could swallow it. This was due to the fact that he mistakenly identified the mouth as the place where digestion happens rather than the stomach. Fletcher had many famous followers, such as Thomas Edison, Henry James, Franz Kafka, John D. Rockefeller, who followed his health guidance.

Additional Information	In the late 1960s, 7-Up was facing bankruptcy. In 1967 advertising executives at Chicago’s J. Walter Thompson Company pitched a hippie-focused rebranding of the soda. They nicknamed the drink “The UnCola,” derived from the term “un-American,” which was associated with the antiwar protests and counterculture movement of the 1960s. The campaign consisting of colorful, and at times psychedelic, cartoons ran from 1969 to 1975. Slogans included “Un in the Sun,” “Uncanny in Cans,” Un & Un Is Too,” and “We Un Wild.” Much of the UnCola campaign ran on billboards and included posters, buttons, and “Fallpaper,” a paper product that could be used as wallpaper, wrapping paper, or other things. 7-Up sales rose 30 percent in the first few years of the campaign. The campaign tapered off in the mid-1970s.
