History

Faygo was founded in Detroit on November 4, 1907, as Feigenson Brothers Bottling Works 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 20th 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. Faygo pop is manufactured in a myriad of flavors.

In 1998, Faygo Beverages, Inc. began distributing the Ohana (a Hawaiian word that means "family") brand of non-carbonated soft drinks. Faygo Beverages, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Beverage Corp., which also owns Shasta. Many Faygo brand flavors are shared with Shasta brands.

Popular culture

Faygo was featured in the 1999-2000 NBC series Freaks and Geeks, a show about teenagers growing up in early 1980s Metro Detroit.

Detroit rap duo Insane Clown Posse are devoted drinkers of Faygo. They often spray large amounts at the Gathering of the Juggalos,and endorse the product in a number of songs. Due to their devotion to it, many Juggalos (fans of ICP) make it their soft drink of choice as well.

Faygo is mentioned in the remix of Detroit rapper Esham's song "Detroit Stand Up."

Eminem mentions Faygo in his first major label album The Slim Shady LP. In the song "As The World Turns" he raps "...what up its nice to meet ya/I'd like to treat you to a Faygo and a slice of pizza."

The comic book Knights of the Dinner Table often includes a mention of Faygo in its stories.
