Add to SetSummary
Faygo, now a nationally franchised brand, was once a local Detroit product. Founded in 1907 by Ben and Perry Feigenson, two Russian immigrants, the company's soft drinks were based on frosting flavors of the baked goods that were the brothers' trained profession. In 1921, the brothers adopted the Faygo brand name. Faygo is credited with coining the word "pop."
