Is that diet or regular 7-up or Sprite? Could be the tree needs the sugar of regular soda?
There are a lot of old wife tales about how to preserve a tree. I like the one using an aspirin in the water. The main thing is keep it watered to slow it from drying out. Usually the trees in a lot are a one shot deal and if you wait to buy one hoping to get a fresh one you'll only get a tree that's been setting in the sun drying out when it could be in your home getting watered.
