Talk:7 and 7

Page name

As I see it, naming the article "Seven and Seven" would make more sense.~ 82.170.131.213 (talk) 17:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

There is ambiguity here because "seven and seven" also refers to the common practice in the offshore oil industry of cycling personnel to work seven days on the rig, and seven days off duty on-shore. MWaldon2 (talk) 21:29, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

That seems like a minor ambiguity. That meaning is not mentioned on the Seven & Seven disambiguation page, and is probably not known to the general public (and there may not be very much to say about it as an encyclopedic subject). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:46, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Additional popular reference

Referenced in the film Narrow Margin, the bad guy orderes it. Zuckerberg (talk) 21:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Why two recipes?

Why are there two different recipes? Can we agree on one to use as an example, and then just say there are variations? Rees11 (talk) 20:19, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Pop culture

I've removed the pop culture section. All of them seemed to be mere passing mentions, and thus trivia. All but one of the entries were unsourced, and it made the article enormously unbalanced - roughly 340 words were needed to illustrate the 7 and 7's overwhelming influence on popular culture, compared with about 56 words for the rest of the article. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

• 7 and 7 → Seven and Seven
• Seven & Seven → Seven & Seven (disambiguation)

– MOS:SPELL09 and WP:& encourage us to spell out digits and ampersands as words, and the primary distinctive ingredient of this cocktail is Seagram's Seven Crown, which is ordinarily spelled out, and some of the sources spell out the cocktail name. The infobox heading is already "Seven and Seven". I'll acknowledge that 7 Up is typically not spelled out (since it's a trademark that uses the digit), but my impression is that the 7 Up is not as essential to this cocktail as the Seagram's; the cocktail can likely be made with any lemon-lime soda (e.g. Sprite) without offending most consumers of the mixture. I believe this cocktail is the primary meaning of "Seven & Seven" as well as "Seven and Seven", "7 and 7", "7 & 7", "Seven and seven", "Seven & seven", "Seven and 7" and "Seven & 7", so the disambiguation page should be renamed, and WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs should be in place for the spelling and capitalization variations. The other topics listed at Seven & Seven are derived from the name of the cocktail.

• Oppose 1, support 2. I'm not seeing any evidence one is more commonly used than the other. However, both Seagram's [1] and 7UP [2] use "7 & 7", so I'd stick with that. Seven & Seven should definitely be a primary redirect, however. 162 etc. (talk) 23:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
