As luck would have it, I went to a lecture at the Dearborn Historical MuseumAs the thread veers OT...some old phartz here may remember the Faygo soda-pop TV ad that was shot on an excursion boat. Some say the boat was one of the Boblo boats. It emphatically is NOT one of the Boblo boats. I rode on the St Clair and Columbia several times, they were bigger, and older. The people giving the lecture said the advert was shot in Mexico.
Trivia bit, the founders of Faygo were Russian immigrants to Detroit, who were bakers by trade. They hit on the idea of using the flavorings they used in their cake frostings, in soda water, thus inventing the first fruit flavored pop.
