What's the reason behind the fall of 7 Up?

They stopped using this guy in their advertisements.

Come here to Norway, Surge, or rather Urge as it's called here, is available in most stores...

Jeez, the scandinavian peninsula has all the best stuff!

I gave up soft drinks altogether. They're bad for teeth (sugar, acid) and not so great for other parts of your body. One of my jobs had free soda so I did have a diet coke maybe once in a few months but latest jobs don't have it for free so it's tea for me! Last time I used Coca Cola was to clean up some computer parts of oxidation.

Also, I never actually twigged that cool spot had anything to do with 7-up. I thought he was some kind of virgin related mascot.

I loved those games as a kid.

Had no idea Cool Spot was 7Up, and played it a bunch of times as a kid. Not sure how efficient that was as an advertising campaign then...
