I conflate Fresca and Fanta.

That's the second time this week that somebody brought up those two beverages in the same sentence to me.

I see it a lot when I'm in Europe, not so much in the USA. But the Fanta Girls were pretty happening.

Fanta was dormant as a U.S. trademark for a couple of decades until it was relaunched with more of an ethnic bent (as evidenced by the Fanta Girls).

7UP was huge back in the day, but that day long ago passed. The tipping point came when Pepsi introduced its own lemon-lime, Sierra Mist (competing with Coke-owned Sprite), which chased 7UP out of Pepsi bottlers, leaving it to fend for itself with a generally ragtag band of distributors.

No beverages were offered media/quasi-media covering the Mets' holiday party.
