Red Pop is a popular flavor of soft drink, primarily associated with the Faygo beverage company. It is characterized by its bright red color and sweet, fruity flavor.

History[edit | edit source]

Red Pop was first introduced by the Faygo company in the early 20th century. The company, founded by Russian immigrants Ben and Perry Feigenson, initially produced only three flavors: grape, fruit punch, and strawberry. Red Pop is the strawberry flavor and quickly became one of the company's most popular offerings.

Flavor and Ingredients[edit | edit source]

Red Pop is known for its sweet, fruity flavor, which is primarily derived from strawberry. The drink's distinctive red color comes from the use of food coloring. Other ingredients typically found in Red Pop include carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, and natural and artificial flavors.

Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]

Red Pop has had a significant cultural impact, particularly in the Midwest United States where the Faygo company is based. It has been referenced in various forms of media, including music and television, and is often associated with the Juggalo subculture due to its frequent mention by the band Insane Clown Posse, who are known fans of the drink.
