Faygo Red Soda Pop via Drone Used to Lure Out Hostage Taker at Michigan Bank

On Friday, June 27, 2025, Quinton M. Allen somehow gained entry to a Mercantile Bank office after hours while an employee was still inside. Allen tried, and failed, to cash an allegedly fraudulent check, then attacked the employee and demanded money. Police responded, and a stand-off ensued. Negotiators made contact with Allen, who requested a Faygo Red Pop of all random demands, according to MLive.
Just after 8:00 p.m., police flew a drone with a Faygo Red Pop dangling below it to one of the bank's windows. As Allen appeared at the window to retrieve it, a Michigan State Police sniper perched on the roof of a nearby AutoZone took the shot, fatally wounding Allen. Police swarmed the building and rescued the employee, who was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. We don't know if the Red Pop was damaged in the crossfire.

Is Red Pop a euphemism for Skrawberry?

Faygo could be a great slang term.
