Faygo and Shasta
Faygo's big plant is in downtown Detroit about 1 mile south of Joe Louis Arena. They make about every flavor you can imagine, in both diet and regular. Shasta and Faygo are like Hellman's and Best Foods Mayonaise. Since they're made by the same company, you will never find them in the same area (the exception is if one doesn't have a certain flavor or that flavor is not available in diet under one of the brands).
(For those that don't understand the mayonaise reference, Hellman's and Best Foods mayo are the same company, they market under the name "Hellman's" east of the Mississippi and "Best Foods" west of the Mississippi. The reason for the different names is due to history and familiarity in the regions that they are sold in - they were originally different companies but were then bought out and merged. The same happened with Faygo and Shasta. In each case, the companies decided that it would be easier to have two set of labels than launch a big marketing campaign to reassociate people's brand familiarity.)
