Madam Speaker. Faygo Beverages is part of our Michigan tradition. and I rise today to recognize their 100 years of operations. 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. Fruit Punch. Strawberry and Grape. were based on cake frosting recipes used by the Feigensons in Russia. That is why these. and the flavors they developed later. were and still are so unique. Throughout the 20th century. Faygo steadily increased its production line. They coined the word "pop." because of the sound made when opening the bottle and are credited with the spreading of the word "pop" instead of "soda" to mean "soft drink" in the Midwest.
