Faygo and Better Made: Detroit's Iconic Snacks
Posted 2024

At Mo-B’s Detroit Coney, we are proud to bring a slice of Detroit’s rich culinary heritage to the East Valley Phoenix area. Our food truck is a celebration of everything that makes Detroit cuisine unique and delicious, from our famous coney dogs to our crispy chicken wings. Among the many iconic tastes of Detroit, two snacks stand out: Faygo soda and Better Made chips. These beloved snacks are integral to our menu and bring a taste of nostalgia to every meal. In this blog post, we'll dive into the history, flavors, and significance of Faygo and Better Made, showcasing why they are must-try items at our food truck.


The Origins of Faygo: Detroit’s Favorite Pop

Faygo soda, affectionately known as "pop" in Detroit, has been a staple of the city’s culture for over a century. Founded in 1907 by Russian immigrant brothers Ben and Perry Feigenson, Faygo started as a small bakery business. The brothers began experimenting with flavored soda water, inspired by their baking flavors, and soon, Faygo was born. The brand quickly grew in popularity, becoming a household name in Detroit and beyond.


Faygo's rise to fame can be attributed to its wide range of unique and bold flavors. From classics like Redpop and Rock & Rye to more adventurous options like Cotton Candy and Moon Mist, there is a Faygo flavor for everyone. This diversity in flavor has made Faygo a beloved choice for generations, offering a refreshing and nostalgic taste with every sip.


At Mo-B’s Detroit Coney, we proudly serve a variety of Faygo flavors, bringing a touch of Detroit's beverage tradition to Arizona. Whether you're a longtime fan or trying it for the first time, Faygo’s vibrant and fun flavors are sure to delight your taste buds.


Better Made Chips: A Crunchy Detroit Classic

Better Made chips are another iconic Detroit snack with a rich history. Founded in 1930 by Peter Cipriano and Cross Moceri, Better Made started with the goal of making better-tasting potato chips. Using only the best ingredients and a commitment to quality, Better Made quickly became a favorite among Detroiters.


The secret to Better Made’s success lies in their dedication to using Michigan-grown potatoes and cooking them to crispy perfection. Over the years, Better Made has expanded its product line to include a variety of flavors, from classic BBQ and Sour Cream & Onion to spicy Hot chips and the uniquely Detroit-flavored Rainbow chips.


At Mo-B’s Detroit Coney, we serve Better Made chips as the perfect accompaniment to our main dishes. These crunchy, flavorful chips are a great addition to any meal, offering a taste of home for our Detroit-transplant customers and a delicious new experience for Arizona locals.


Pairing Faygo and Better Made With Our Menu

One of the best things about Faygo soda and Better Made chips is how well they complement our menu items. At Mo-B’s Detroit Coney, we offer a variety of delicious dishes, including our signature coney dogs, chicken wings, and loaded fries. Adding a cold Faygo and a bag of Better Made chips to your order elevates the entire dining experience.


Imagine biting into a juicy coney dog, topped with our special chili sauce, while sipping on a fizzy Faygo Rock & Rye. The sweetness of the soda balances the savory flavors of the hot dog, creating a perfect harmony of tastes. Or, enjoy our crispy chicken wings with a side of Better Made BBQ chips for a delightful crunch that pairs beautifully with the tender meat.


Whether you're enjoying our 2 Coney Combo or digging into a plate of chili cheese fries, Faygo and Better Made chips add that extra touch of Detroit magic to every bite. It’s a combination that keeps our customers coming back for more.
