As far as I am seeing on Snopes and CBS News, this 7-Up ad was a real ad in the 1950’s.
NOTE! There is almost the same image circulating that claims to be about giving beer to infants. That is a FAKE ad. It looks virtually identical as this one, but replaces 7-Up with beer. Same baby etc.
There is also a “Soda Pop Board of America” fake ad, with the tagline, “For a Better Start in Life, Start Cola Earlier”. It also features a photo of a baby, but looks different from this. That ad is also FAKE -> Hoax Ad
That 7up milk sounds absolutely foul.
I’m not so sure.
Cream Soda and milk is(or was) popular in China and it’s pretty good. I cant imagine this would be that different
Are they like mixing 7up with milk? Wouldn’t that curdle the milk?
They’re mixing Cream Soda with milk, and surprisingly no, the milk doesn’t curdle despite being highly acidic. I have not tried it with 7Up, but it also works with both Coke and root beer.
Cream soda? Sounds oddly familiar. I think I may have tried that once.
Creaming soda and ice cream though… Mmmm, big nostalgia hit.

I dunno. Coke and milk are the best things to add into a vodka/kahlua mix.
Went to a restaurant and the waitress thought I’d like a chocolate Coke. Tried it. Wasn’t terrible, but I’m not going to seek it out for myself.
I recommend adding a couple dashes of chocolate bitters to your coke if you want to try a version that is actually good
But it’s titty milk so maybe it tastes different? Also, how does 7 Up know what breast milk and 7 Up even tastes like?
It might not’ve been though. There was big advertising push in the early/middle 1900’s to get infants off breastmilk and onto formula as the “modern” way.
Even today, there are large differences related to socioeconomic class, in how many parents use formula. Also varies a LOT per country.
Since the 80’s, there has been a renewed push for breastfeeding. Advertising has been curtailed, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Marketing_of_Breast-milk_Substitutes
