Imported from Detroit - Take 2

Apparently I didn't do enough research for the last Lions game. Just as the Bear's offensive line is much improved, so is this blogger's understanding of the Michigan food industry.

Over the years, Michigan has contributed much to America's food and drink options and, over the years, many of those national companies have moved out of Michigan. One notable is Vernor's which is the fizziest ginger ale Ever! Seriously, don't put your nose directly over a freshly poured Vernor's or you'll be the center of attention while you experience a serious coughing fit. But I digress.

Today, there are several choices for your WBE Imported from Detroit  tailgate.


  • Faygo (sold in 1987 to National Beverage but the Michigan plant remains open)
  • Kellogg’s
  • Little Caesar’s Pizza
  • Thorn Apple Valley meats
  • Domino’s Pizza (sold in 1998 but the headquarters remains in Michigan)
  • Uncle Ray’s Potato Chips
  • Jiffy Brand Mixes
  • Pioneer Sugar

Pick your fave, put on your jersey and get ready for some football.
