With the mess the worlds is in today with suicide bombers, mass killings etc maybe its time to bring back the original 7up lithium soft drink. Apart from theories below as to the names origin another was the 7 comes from the atomic weight of lithium that is just slightly under 7.

Coca-Cola isn’t the only soda that started as a pharmaceutical elixir.
7-Up, the 85-year-old citrus soft drink, once went by the less-catchy name “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda” -- and it was packed with mood-enhancing lithium.
Lithium, a salt found in groundwater, has long been used to treat bipolar disorder and depression. An essay by psychiatrist and Cornell University professor Anna Fels, published in the New York Times, argued for adding low doses of the substance -- mostly used to produce ceramics, glass and batteries -- to drinking water in hopes of lowering rates of suicide, murder and rape.
Lithium's mind-altering effects may have been an early draw for 7-Up. The drink, which contained the compound lithium citrate, started selling just two weeks before the stock market crashed in October 1929, kicking off the Great Depression.
The lithium was removed from 7UP over 50 years ago, but at the time it appeared in several companies lemon-lime sodas. When soft drinks were first invented they often had minerals added that were found in natural springs and springs with lithium were very popular.

haha I imagined shareholders wanting a baked lithium slice...

Nah
QUOTE:::Lithium can cause nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, muscle weakness, fatigue, and a dazed feeling. These unwanted side effects often improve with continued use. Fine tremor, frequent urination, and thirst can occur and may persist with continued use. Weight gain and swelling from excess fluid can also occur.

We will keep it in the money $$$ for manufacturing
- batteries, greases, ceramics, strong bases, glasses and optics etc

No running to wee when I am trying to buy and sale (not above frequent urination)
Lithium Orotate tablets I guess have a lower dose of the lithium --- lets keep smiling no stock depression please
