No More Uncola Nuts

Geoffrey Holder, the actor, dancer, and artist best remembered to a generation of television viewers for his appearing in a long-running series of 7-Up commercials explaining the differences between cola and "Uncola" nuts (lemons and limes), passed away on Sunday of complications from pneumonia at age 84.

As I recall, it was during the 1970s that the Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago-born Mr. Holder explained how 7-Up's fresh clean taste came from these so-called "Uncola" nuts compared favorably with all those cola drinks.
