It was Red Pop when I was a kid, but now it’s Rock & Rye.
It’s a company that makes soda. It’s not an off-brand(store brand), but a pretty decent beverage maker.
It’s located in Michigan.
Red pop for me, the last time I had the pleasure of drinking a faygo. Can’t remember when that was, probably 30+ years ago (egads).
Can anyone describe to me what Rock & Rye tastes like? I don’t remember that flavor as a kid.
I’m limited to the diet flavors, and we don’t even get all of them. So of the ones I can get, my two favorites are Grape and Frosh.
Rock & Rye is a sort of cream soda, but it is red in color and has a slightly different flavor.
Does anyone remember Frosh? Or Moonshine (Mt. Dew-like)?
mmm
Man, I hadn’t thought of Faygo in 30 years. Back when I was a kid my sister and I spent summers with my Dad, who lived in Jacksonville, Fla. He always bought Faygo. I recall favoring Frosh and Redpop.
It was Pineapple-Orange for a minute and then the Vanilla cream soda.
I haven’t thought of Faygo in years. Their commercial with the Laurel and Hardy lookalikes is one of the most memorable commercials I’ve ever seen.
“We will take the Red Pop.”
Yay! I love Faygo! I’ve always lived in SoCal, but my grandparents are from central Michigan. Faygo tastes like grandma’s house. 
#1 choice - always Rock & Rye, but I’m a big fan of Red Pop too. you can usually get them at most BevMo stores, by the way.
They occupy a weird spot marketing-wise; they’re positioned as a “value priced brand” much like sister brand Shasta, and similar to how Pepsi was in the early days. Some stores carry Faygo/Shasta in lieu of generics, other stores will stock generics, with Faygo/Shasta at a slightly higher price, and big brands higher still. A 2-liter of store brand for 75 cents, Faygo for $1, and Coke/Pepsi for $1.50. I’ve seen similar value brands in various regions-- C&C, Top Pop, Polar-- but Faygo and Shasta seem to be widely distributed. Around here, the 7up/RC/A&W brands have been slowly drifting into this category, too.
When I was a kid in the 1970s and early 1980s, a cornucopia of Faygo was widely available; convenience stores and grocers would have a whole 4-foot section of shelving dedicated to dozens of Faygo flavors in small glass bottles at some ridiculously low price; you’d buy 'em by the sack and have fun for the next week trying different flavors. I never recall any one flavor being really good, but the variety was neat.
Faygo seemed to dwindle, disappearing from convenience stores and shrinking in groceries, and eventually became Big Lots/dollar store fodder by the late 1990s. Its reputation as a low-end brand is ironically what I think has allowed it to rebound; it’s like the PBR of the soda world, gaining cult status (especially among Juggalos, as mentioned earlier), and coming back to supermarkets and convenience stores. Unfortunately, the wide variety of flavors they make aren’t widely distributed around here; you can find the basic fruit flavors of grape/orange/lemon-lime, root beer, and Moon Mist, but Rock & Rye is hard to find, and the others are even more rare. No more 4-foot rack that allows me to buy 30 different flavors in one go. 
Anyway. My answer to the OP: Ohana Raspberry Lemonade was my absolute favorite, with 60/40 a close second.
I grew up close enough to the U.S.A. border that every mention of the word ‘Faygo’ makes me want to punch an entire trailer park in their collective face.
The Pop Shoppe – however, I will defend to the … well, the new version is all corporate and shit, and really only exists because some rich dude bought the name after the copyright expired; they do make probably the best pineapple flavoured carbonated beverage, and some more things I should be angry about, but some mitigating factors inserted here. Additionally uncontrollable rage, unfounded accusations, and other big words used to describe things, mostly unrelated to the subject I’ve heretofore been ranting about.
Tits.
I have been doing this lately within like the last week, buying many different flavors and then trying them all, it’s fun even though some of them don’t taste that great.
I once had a bottle of black raspberry Faygo. Best soda I ever had. Wonder if they still make it?
Wiki lists a ‘black cherry & raspberry’ flavor, but not just a ‘black raspberry’. Apparently, it is still available (it is not in the discontinued list).
Oh, and if it’s Faygo, it’s not soda. It’s pop. 
mmm
More Rack and Rye love. What exactly does the thing taste like? Kinda of like a cream soda, kinda like Dr. Pepper, maybe even a little black cherry. I’ve heard rumors that it’s supposed to taste like sloe gin. Any credence to this (I’ve never had sloe gin)?
Around here in Western Washington, Faygo is almost entirely sold in corner stores–rarely in grocery stores, never in chain convenience stores. Outside of draft root beer (a fantastic flavor by the way) it’s always sold in 20 oz. plastic bottles. And far from being a discount drink, it’s sold at Coke/Pepsi prices.
I’ve got a Red Pop in the fridge right now, but i am fond of both Pineapple and Blueberry/raspberry. Learning that Faygo i the preferred flavor of juggalos just made me like it more.
Around where in western Washington? I’ve always meant to try Faygo, but never looked very hard. I’m near Olympia, but if you’ve got a specific Faygo source you could recommend anywhere between Seattle and Portland I could hit it up during holiday shopping trips.
Leiko, I’ve found it at corner stores at 9th & Commerce (next to the Link rail terminus), 4th & Tacoma, and Stadium Thriftway in Tacoma.
Anybody fond of the orange?? just curious.
Redpop for me. IIRC, it was kinda like Fanta Red Cream (which you got in Michigan vending machines owned by Coca-Cola).
We used to look gravely at each other and mutter, “Red Cream – a sign of VD! See your doctor.” Heh.
