The Story
Michigan is home to an amazing array of food and drink brands, each with a fascinating story behind it.
Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals like Kelloggās and Post changed how the world eats, and Gerber first made baby food commercially available. But the Wolverine State is bursting with many other notable edibles, such as Faygo, American Spoon, Jiffy, Sanders and Vernors. Better Made uses Michigan potatoes for its chips. Fudge, pasties and anything made with cherries are also local standards. Others are gone but not forgotten, like Awreyās and Twin Pines.
Authors Gail Offen and Jon Milan explore the history and stories behind all of these and many, many more.
