Faygo Pop



Faygo pop is one of my favorite things about Detroit and being from Detroit. I'm overseas now, but this is one of the things that I miss the most. Faygo is a pop or soda company (I know all about the pop/soda debate) that is based in Detroit and has been around snce 1907. So most Detroiters, if not all, know about Faygo.

There are many reasons why Faygo is popular in Detroit, and is becoming popular in other states as well.

The first thing I would have to say is price. I can get a 2-liter Faygo pop from just about any store in Detroit for anywhere from 69 cents, to a dollar. I can also get a 24 oz for 50 cents. Compare that with something like Pepsi or Coke, and you can get a great drink for much less.

Next to the price, is the absurd number of flavors that Faygo has. My personal favorites are Grape, Pineapple, Red, and Moon Mist. Also, even though I'm not a fan of Root Beer, Bon Apetit Magazine voted their Root Beer the best tasting American Root Beer. Here are a list of flavors:

So as you can see, you have quite a range of flavors to choose from. A lot of these flavors however can only be pruchased online or direct throught the company. So if you're ever in the D, make sure to stop by a nearby store and try some Faygo pop/soda is you haven't already. I'm sure out of the many flavors above, you can find one that will become your favorite :).
