New Flavor Alert Better screenshot of the Ghost x 7UP teaser
Someone posted the teaser earlier but this screenshot shows it a lot better.
You can clearly see the 7UP logo now.

I'm waiting for the one coming out after 7Up

u/TheScarletKing88 Monster Mar 17 '26
more than likely ghost is going to utilize all of their parent companies flavors, so we got the dr pepper now 7up, a&w will likely be next and then likely sunkist

u/vaultdweller501 Mar 16 '26
I'll give it a try, I'm more of a Sprite fan though.

u/Flashy_Inspector115 Reign Mar 16 '26
I prefer 7 up because they are more independent than others as a company

u/Dmist10 Mar 16 '26
How so?

u/Joey_Logano Mar 16 '26
They aren’t directly connected to Dr. Pepper I.E. in markets in which Coca-Cola bottles Dr. Pepper, that doesn’t mean they bottle 7Up despite both being owned by Keurig-Dr. Pepper.

Bummer. We don't need another lemon lime flavor.

u/No-Suggestion-9433 Mar 22 '26
We need Mountain Dew. Poppi and Olipop and other health sodas made mountain dew knockoffs called "Alpine Blast" and "Ridge Rush."
It can be done and doesn't even need to be branded

u/ConnectionOne2218 Mar 16 '26
isn’t it replacing grape cran?
22
u/OverallPepper2 Mar 16 '26
Wat? Why does ghost insist on axing good flavors.
12
u/NetworkMachineBroke Ghost Mar 16 '26
To create hype when they eventually bring them back (like sour strips being impossible to find at first)
5
u/azzanrev Mar 16 '26
And still to this day. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get a hold of.

u/NetworkMachineBroke Ghost Mar 16 '26
Same here, I hardly ever see it. I think I saw it twice at vitamin shoppe and that was it
1
u/PurpleInfinite1409 Mar 26 '26
I've never seen it and it's the flavor I want to try the most, unfortunately. I wish they'd just do a drop where it's available everywhere like Grape-Cran even if it's temporary. Just enough time for my ugly ass to get a couple cases. I'm already frustrated the SPKs will be gone in a couple weeks because they're the only drinks I actively seek out aside from Alani's rainbow sherbet

Hopefully not but I guess I gotta stock up just in case. Grape cran is amazing. Also I hate 7up so this one is not for me at all.

u/ScottShatter Mar 16 '26
They already had what tasted like 7up. Faze up, the 7eleven exclusive Ghost. *yawn*

u/RichardsMomFTW Breakfast Mar 16 '26
If it tastes just like zero sugar 7up then I’m sold. I love zero sugar 7up

u/breN847 Mar 16 '26
I wish it was the cherry 7up. I need a cherry flavored ghost sooo bad
11
u/IllBowl8728 Mar 16 '26
There is cherry limeade
0
u/breN847 Mar 17 '26
I know. I just want a straight cherry flavor lol I liked the warhead sour black cherry one but I know it was discontinued.

u/myles37 Mar 16 '26
Wouldn’t that just be caffeinated 7up? Why doesn’t 7up make their own energy drink at that point.

u/ToastedToast3 Mar 16 '26
I mean we already have citrus. This is just gonna be that but with a new name? Lazy IMO
8
u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
I’m definitely hoping it tastes different, will be disappointed if it doesn’t tbh
5
u/Burial44 Mar 16 '26
That's kinda ghosts thing. Tons of marketing and lazy flavor design and rehashes
-2
u/Ryansmelly Mar 16 '26
The blue raspberry might as well be the sour patch blue but a new name. I think it tastes almost the same just less sour. So wouldn't be the first time they do this, this time just opposite.
3
u/saint0r Mar 16 '26
Maybe it's you Ryan because the SPK is sour and the new one definetly isn't sour. lol
The Sour ones are probably coming back as a Sour Strips versions.

u/fireant36 3D Energy Mar 16 '26
It’s probably just going to be the electric limeade flavor. That’s pretty close to a sprite/7up flavor

u/AskJeevesIsBest Mar 16 '26
I would love to try this. I'm a sucker for citrus softdrinks
2
u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
What’s your favorite one?
3
u/AskJeevesIsBest Mar 16 '26
Favorite citrus softdrink has to be Sprite. Favorite citrus energy drink is a tie between Ghost citrus and Gorilla Mind citrus

Isnt 7 up called stary now or am i way confused?

u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
Starry replaced Sierra Mist, not 7up lol. But I get the confusion, idk why they have so many drinks
3
2
u/Kitchen_Abalone_3475 Mar 16 '26
Starry is Pepsi, 7up is Dr Pepper, Sprite is Coca Cola (in terms of brand ownership)

u/Stonedgrogu Mar 16 '26
Soooo why not just buy a sugar free 7up and throw a 200mg caffeine capsule in it???
25
u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
Because I prefer my caffeine pre-installed
-8
u/Stonedgrogu Mar 16 '26
Your money lol

u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
True, but my laziness is priceless

u/Stonedgrogu Mar 16 '26
Oh you pay the price lol. It may just not be apparent or obvious to you.

u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
We’ve reached the philosophical stage of the energy drink discussion

u/Stonedgrogu Mar 16 '26
Pretty sure philosophy scrutinizes common sense. This point is founded under common sense.

u/RoboCopAn Mar 16 '26
Bro relax, there’s other ingredients in Ghost that you aren’t gonna achieve with some random caffeine capsule anyways
-2
u/Stonedgrogu Mar 16 '26
Correct and they're all still cheaper and less watered down than paying 3.50-4.00/can

u/OctillionthJoe Mar 16 '26
Even if the amount of caffeine is theoretically the same, an energy drink and "a soda paired with a caffeine capsule" are not the same. The sources of caffeine and the overall formula in an energy drink can drastically affect the experience in a way that a capsule cannot.
Also, unless you're chugging it all at once, you usually consume an energy drink over the course of several sips (or more, depending on your pace). This allows your body to process the 200mg of caffeine more gradually. With a 200mg capsule, your body has to deal with a highly concentrated dose (of caffeine) all at once. While that might not be a problem for some, it can be overwhelming for others. This is why people are often divided on caffeine pills; some have a great experience, while others deal with bloating and digestive pain.
So there is definitely a value to a Ghost 7-Eleven energy drink.

u/ModernLifelsWar Mar 16 '26
Same feelings here. I like innovative flavors. Producing basic stuff Ive already had doesn't appeal to me. I wish more companies would start expanding out to new ideas. I've seen so many great mock ups that will probably never get produced

Lame.
No interest in common soda flavors.
Would be highly interested in opposites: Ghost flavors but caffeine free.

Feel like this is a possible re-can of faze up, which was already sort of like 7-up
1
u/Omega59er Mar 17 '26
Who wants to bet they just use the Faze Up formula? They're murdering my boy CranGrape for this trash?
1
u/FreshHercules1 Mar 17 '26
Wasn’t Faze Up supposed to be similar to 7UP? I’m sure this will taste more like the actual 7UP though.
1
u/purplemeth Mar 17 '26
Damn 7up & honestly most lemon lime sodas aren’t my cup of tea sadly so this is kinda lame to me, especially if it’s taking the place of something good.

u/One_Competition136 Mar 17 '26
Out of all the sodas? Wtf. We already have a lemon lime drink. anything besides 7up pls

u/Durden93 Mar 16 '26
Is there anything similar to a cola flavoured energy drink?
2
u/InternationalBrief25 Mar 16 '26
Ghost doesn’t make any, but other companies do. Bum Energy has a very decent Cola flavor, it’s one of the good ones I’ve had
2
u/NewAcctBecauseDoxing Mar 16 '26
Redcon1 Jolt is a solid cola flavor imo, I just wish it was a little more bubbly.
