Happy Birthday Faygo
Friday, March 02, 2007
Faygo was founded by two Russian immigrants - bakers - who adapted cake frosting recipes into a unique carbonated soft drink that's still sold today.
Faygo is more than a Detroit icon. Its beverages are bottled in Detroit and at plants across the country. Redpop, Rock & Rye, Creme Soda and up to 42 other flavors are sold in most states east of the Mississippi River. Its all-time best-seller? Redpop.
Over the years, Faygo has held onto its niche in the competitive beverage market, up against giants like Coke and Pepsi and a wide array of new drinks, from bottled water to energy beverages.

Its always good to see a Detroit brand still around and selling strong. I remember drinking Faygo as a kid, it was cheaper than any other pop so we would get it. In addition you had all the cool flavors to choose from. Another favorite pop as a kid was Towne Club, it had dozens of flavors to choose from and you would hit the store, pick out your flavors and bring the bottles and wooden crate back when finished. Unfortunately Towne Club is no longer around but as a kid I would look forward to my birthdays since I was allowed to pick out pop for the party.
