Here's a toughie: I'm looking for Faygo Rock and Rye. The Faygo pop that has turned up has been red pop. I've asked this question in the general IA forum, but now I'm focused on DSM.

I'll bring several cases when I move, but the closest store that carries it seems to be Meijer in Normal, IL. Yikes! Road trip!

I can't be the only one who likes this stuff . . .

Added: it's a Michigan thing. I grew up with Vernor's ginger ale in the glass bottles and Faygo rock and rye pop. That's why I'm a warped adult. (;

Heck, no! But I did grow up in Michigan, where Faygo pop is bottled. I pre-date juggalos by many, many years.

Taste!

It's not as sweet as HyVee's black cherry cola, but that's the closest comparison. Kids
generally don't like it all that well because it's not as sweet as red pop.

It's a little thing, but I try to keep some around for special occasions.

It sounds like it might mix well with rum and cola LOL
