Food & Wine Mag: Foxon Park White Birch Soda Is 'Best Snack' In CT

EAST HAVEN, CT —In the area of important food groups, distinguished Food & Wine magazine has listed the Best Snack In Every State.

Talking about neighboring states, in Massachusetts, it's marshmallow fluff. In New York, it's Italian rainbow cookies. In Rhode Island, it's Del's Frozen Lemonade.

The magazine says that it's goal was to find the "very best of everything" and to "paint a broad picture of American food culture." The snack also needed to be shipped, so anyone anywhere could check it out.

So, what's Connecticut's fav snack? It's East Haven's Foxon Park's white birch soda.

Here's what the magazine had to say:

"From donuts to ice cream to hot dogs, Nutmeggers have it all when it comes to curbing snack time cravings, and they've had a few years to practice, as well — this is the state that gave the world everything from Milano cookies to Graham crackers, the modern-day campfire favorite invented by a preacher who believed his creation would curb sexual appetites. We're not sure of the impacts of a glass bottle of refreshing white birch soda from Foxon Park Beverages in East Haven; mostly it seems to make us crave more New Haven-style pizza. Any area pizzeria will typically have a fridge full of the locally-preferred (and highly distinctive) carbonated beverage alternative, produced in flavors like cherry, grape, strawberry and mouth-puckering, Italian-style lemon-lime."

Congrats to beloved Foxon Park Beverages, which in May, celebrated its 100th year as East Haven's, and the world's, favorite soda.
