[edit] Something Awful

On Something Awful's internet television network GBStv, there are segments of skits involving Faygo that mock the drink and use it in homosexual gestures (presumably observing the phonetic similarity between the word 'Faygo' and the words 'fag' and 'gaymo.' Do you think someone could add a bit of info about this, perhaps under Trivia?

[edit]

• The mentioning of ICP and Faygo was removed from the article. I added information about it in a fabricated "trivia" section.

Wondering about distribution in Canada. Faygo is widely available here in South-Western Ontario (near Detroit) - how far does this extend? -- stewacide

Never seen it in London, only in Windsor and in Michigan. Adam Bishop 00:12, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... we get it in Chatham. I wonder about Sarnia... -- stewacide

I can get every flavor in southern ohio.

Could this article expand more on the relationship between the ICP and Faygo? Why are ICP fans and ICP so into Faygo?

From what I've read at fan sites of the group, ICP sings about Faygo a lot because it's what their families could afford when they were kids. ICP is also a Detroit group, so maybe they feel some sort of loyalty to the brand. It's a freudian thing I guess. As far as prices, go, Faygo doesn't seem to be the cheapest anymore. When I've seen Faygo and their competitors side by side, they're about the same price (92 cents for a 2 liter of Faygo cola, 99 cents for 2 liter Pepsi or Coke..?), so really Faygo's biggest selling point is their variety of unusual flavors. (also make sure to add four tildes to the end of your messages as a signature, it helps sort out the conversation!). - 66.227.141.165 06:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I like the new Peach flavor!

Moved the paragraph involving ICP up to make the article more chronological, and changed some grammar. 66.227.141.165 04:14, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

From Lord Jordo: I live in London and apparently someone found it at an A&P in London he said it was 50 cents for 2 letres i didn't belive him I looked it up here I now know that a pop with such an strange name exists but I'm still questioning the price, so could someone tell me the price of the stuff in Canada?

Man I miss this stuff. Moved to the UK early Jan 06, went back to Detroit a bit in June. At the gas station I lived by, you could get a two liter for 99 cents, the same price a the 16 ounce Pepsi.

Faygo is available in California, but not in most "everyday" markets (i.e., not in Safeway or Albertsons). Only specialty retailers (oddly, Hot Topic carries some flavors) and VERY few restaurants (such as Fuddruckers) carry it. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redpop

Was Redpop actually "introduced to the world" by Faygo? According to their official website, the name Redpop was not coined until the 1960s, while a very similar drink, Big Red, was created earlier in 1937. Also in more recent decades, other large bottling companies (such as Chek and Big K) have been introducing red, strawberry-flavored soft drinks as well so I'm not sure if Redpop should be counted as a "unique" flavor of Faygo's. --TheEvilBlueberryCouncil 22:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

What flavor *is* Rock & Rye anyway? My sister says it's strawberry. I can't convince her that Redpop is the strawberry one. XP

--Rock & Rye is a "Cream Cola".Ogyaf 11:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
