Faygo is a local brand here in Detroit. Might be available in some other markets.

They ran a commercial for years in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's, featuring "The Faygo Man" - an older, jolly-looking actor wearing an old-time red and white, barbershop quartet type outfit, singing and dancing with kids on the Boblo Island Ferry - Boblo was an amusement park then, long since gone.

Here are the lyrics:

Comic books and rubber bands
Climb into the tree top
Falling down and holding hands
Tricycles and Redpop
Pony rides and Sunday nights
Roller skates and snowball fights
Climbin' through the window
Remember when you were a kid?
Well, part of you still is
And that's why we make Faygo
Faygo remembers
