[edit] Bubble Up
Apparently non-notable product. - Jehochman Talk 16:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I'm kinda surprised to see the article in such a poor state, but Bubble Up is an iconic brand with nearly a century of history (it was sold a full decade before 7-up) and which hit its peak in the 60s & 70s. Sources aren't going to be extremely easy to find as its acme was a quarter-century before the web took off, but they do exist example Chicago Tribune article.

- Keep - as per Starblind. I've searched Bubble Up, and it doesn't come up with much, but that doesn't mean it should based on that relevance. It supposedly notable per some literary sources I have, at least I think so. — Rudget contributions 17:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep -- as per above. I just did some newspaper archive searching, and came up with the following, from a 2004 Dallas Morning News article:
- "The Bubble-Up brand has been around since 1917, when Sweet Valley Products Co. of Sandusky, Ohio, started bottling a "non-alcoholic, non-cereal, maltless beverage" under that name. The familiar citrus Bubble-Up - "Kiss of Lemon-Kiss of Lime" - was popular by the 1930s, the golden age of soda pops. The brand had a brief moment of glory in the 1950s when it came out in a 16-ounce bottle, beating both Coke and Pepsi, who were battling it out in 12-ounce bottles.
- But the brand lost its fizz and all but vanished during the 1960s, according to soda pop guru Hamilton Rousseau, who owns Ifs Ands & Butts."
I'll add the source(s) to the article. Also, fer cryin' out loud, it was just created today; give it a chance. -- phoebe/(talk) 19:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
