I'm in kind of the same situation - experimenting with dehydrating foods and 
then eating them to see how they might go on the trail.. but I have to ask: 
soak them in 7-up - why? As an alternative to lemon juice? to add different 
flavors? It seems like an interesting idea... what lead you to such 
out-of-the-box thinking? ...  wondering what MtnDew dehydrated apples would 
taste like  ;-)  :-)
