I picked up this bottle on a hunch the other day. When I saw it, I didn't think much of it as it's a later NRND bottle. But when I picked it up, the bottling location seemed odd, so I bought it. Those of you who collect 7-UP, is this a normal location to be on this style bottle, 7UP Research Corp?

Nice Bottle. Would like to have in my collection.

Ive seen Research Corp on several cans before, but I am unsure of what that means. Was it a test market facility? Or did they just curiously name it "Research Corp" ?

Perhaps theres some info in this article on the St. Louis facility. I just found it but havent had a chance to review it.

My initial thought was a test bottle too. But Pepsi is my main thing, so I wasn't sure. I'm open to selling once I know a little more about it.

Yes that is a bottle I would like to have also. I believe I have seen that before, but didn't pay much attention to it. All my bottles are still in crates, so not sure if I have a PL with that on it.

Just read thru this article. It has some great 7up info in it. But it didn't seem to touch on the 'Research corp' at all that I could find.
