Drinking Faygo on a Saturday night
I just left a party in which I drank a considerable amount of Faygo Red Pop. At one point in the party I heard a Justin Timberlake song playing in the background. It was a strange, strange event.
Wikipedia has some pretty good information on Faygo:
"Feigenson Brothers Bottling Works, the company that later became known as Faygo Beverages, Inc.(Faygo), was founded in Detroit on November 4, 1907 by Russian immigrants Ben and Perry Feigenson. The original flavors of Faygo were based on cake frosting recipes used by the Feigensons in Russia. Throughout the twentieth century, Faygo steadily increased its production line. Faygo is credited with the spreading of the word "pop" instead of "soda" to mean soft drink in the Midwest."
I grew up with Faygo and considered it the norm until later I discovered Faygo is unique to the Midwest. This may not make it tastier, but I like knowing a Michigan product is around.
