How It's Used

“If the locution ‘a Seven and Seven’ is strange to you, if your nose wrinkles a bit at the idea of drinking a shot of Seagram’s Seven Crown mixed with Seven-Up, you are safely at or near the top [of the social order], or at least not deeply compromised by the sugar fixation of the bottom.”

—Paul Fussell, Class:  A Guide Through the American Status System, (New York:  Touchstone, 1992), p. 99.

Also Known As (AKA)

Seagram's 7 and 7-Up, 7 and 7
