Post a CommentThe correct spelling is "Sanders."
Kellog's is in Battle Creek. Neither it nor Chelsea are suburbs of Detroit, so these either shouldn't be on this list or this article should be called "Top 10 Products Made in Michigan."
You could also add Honeybaked Ham.
Lots of new information. I am a Faygo fan too. Now I know where it comes from.
omg how have u not heard of these brands i grew up on every single one of these brands.I'm drinking a faygo right now.
Lol, my dad is friends with Mike Ilitch's nephew and they tell this story about how his father in law didn't like him at first and used to hit him with a pizza pan when he'd hang around his daughter. He kept coming back and his persistance paid off ;) Now he owns half of Detroit.
I didn't know Little Cesear's started out in Detroit. My husband and I used to get their pizza all the time when we were dating. :)
They still have the $5 pizza's!
Little Ceasars! we used to go there when i was in college...every thursday they had large cheese and pepperoni pizzas for $5...it was great! Great article!
very wll informative.
several of these must be distributed regionally as I have not heard of them.
P.S. Maybe I'll win the final Jeopardy round with some of this info. Of course, they have to accept me on the show first....
