  • Question
    I have diabetes, so I can't eat junk food or drink soda. Can I still be a "Juggalette"?
    Community Answer
    You absolutely can. Just get some good old water. Or, if you want to spice it up, serve that Faygo to your sugar-tolerating friends and re-use the bottles for water. Just be sure to soap, bottle brush, and rinse them out well once in a while so that they don't get too nasty. Why not put some unsweetened tea in that Faygo bottle? Or make Faygo-bottle sun tea outside? The possibilities are endless.
