I could be mistaken but, I think [7UP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7up-endless-summer) is most appreciated for its simplicity. It is, after all, the UN-cola, right? Well, in the vein of innovation, 7UP is introducing a limited-edition [Pomegranate flavored version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-pomegranate-bubly) of the [lemon-lime beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-soda-flavors). Don't worry, the new flavor will still use 100% natural flavors and will be caffeine free.

**Implications** - Soft drinks usually get a bad rep for their unhealthy sugar content. With the emphasis on health and the explosion of pomegranate, companies are looking to work the flavor into drinks to promote a newfound, health-conscious image. So while parents in the past may have said no to soft drinks, there may be success in this healthy approach which will attract kids and adults alike.
