I was at Pure Detroit on sat in the Guardian Building. In the Pure Detroit store they have old fashion bottles of Faygo pop you can buy in the glass bottles. Its VERY cool. I got an Original Rock and Rye and a Original Rootbeer. | ||

I expect more descriptive words than "cool" out of someone claiming to be a designer | ||

yes, I had a few of those bottles before at the gas station in my neighborhood, they're like beer bottles, not so much glass pop bottles. | ||

George Washington may be the father of our country, but Faygo is the pop! -Soupy Sales, 1956 | ||

Quinn, taking your "remark", I thought the pop glass bottle holes were smaller than the ones on beer bottles? | ||

Polaar!! We drank the same exact stuff at my Grandmas in Harper Woods, in the 80's n 90's! When my uncle moved to Las Vegas we shipped bottles to him. | ||

I'm glad Faygo is offering pop (not soda!) in glass bottles. There is just something about the glass bottle. Is it just me or does pop taste better in a glass bottle? I think the plastic does something weird to the taste. | ||

we have some grandma boys and girls in here, dont we? Going over to Grandpa's today to have some Grape Pop? | ||
Dtown1 Member Username: Dtown1 Post Number: 453 Registered: 08-2006 |
Well for one, they half clean those plastic bottles at these places today. I'm sometimes weary when I buy bottled pop, as I'm afraid that I have a bottle that hasn't been cleaned. So maybe its knowing that someone has drunk out of it before you, because that's how I am. not limiting to or excluding Faygo from my perspective. | ||

LMAO! They don't reuse plastic pop bottles to rebottle pop! Once a container, such as a pop bottle, has been used once it can not be recycled back into anything that would contain something for human consumption. The plastic is recycled and used for other things. | ||

If thats the case, what you said about the taste, Beadgirl's just crazy. | ||
Beadgrl Member Username: Beadgrl Post Number: 18 Registered: 07-2006 |
Perhaps the plastic is leaching something into the contained liquid? Or the plastic "breathes" and the pop loses it's true flavor? Or...i'm just getting old and losing my sense of taste? crazy...yes. Insane...not if i take my meds!  | ||

Here in Toronto I have FAYGO pop bottles that I bought in Detroit, decorating my computer room. I drank the soda first. So I have some of the empty bottles on a shelf with Detroit things, and another FAYGO bottle I have a candle stuck into it, and use it as a candle holder. | ||

Mmmmmmm... Carbonated cake frosting flavors ! | ||
Sticks Member Username: Sticks Post Number: 127 Registered: 08-2005 |
I'm sure a carbonated beverage being in a plastic bottle, when compared to a glass bottle, does affect the taste. I mean, all you beer drinkers out there can taste the difference between a 40oz, a longneck, a can, and a keg of the same brew, right? Why wouldn't pop be any less different? | ||
Magic_mushroom Member Username: Magic_mushroom Post Number: 22 Registered: 12-2005 |
Pop has not been the same since the old 16 oz returnable glass bottles disappeared. The plastic does change the taste and I won't even start with cans. I miss those days. | ||

I haven't had a Faygo since Rush convinced me Snapple was the brew. Being a mind numbed robot, that's all I drink. Guzzle, guzzle. But I did like Rock and Roll, that was Dr. Pepper before we heard about it? | ||

Nope - Rock n Rye is the cake frosting flavor. Dr Pepper is based on old style cherry Cokes. | ||

Ok...so I have this idea for a bar...and since I probably won't ever do anything with it I am going to put it into cyberspace and if someone wants to use it all I ask is that I drink for free once you open the bar. It's a bar in which Faygo is the only pop served. You can still have a Jack and Cola...but you can also have a Rock n Rye Martini and a myriad of other completely unique drinks and shots made with Faygo. I always thought of it as a cartoon bar too, where there cartoons are always on TV. Something about cartoons and faygo... So...there it is. Someone take it and run with it. I'm sure it would be a huge hit! | ||

Rock N Rye aint one of the cake frosting flavors. At least you know what it is... Kwame forgot that Vernors left town and Faygo was here when he made his stupid World Series bet. |
