Terpenes that test highest: caryophyllene, limonene, humulene (from 28 tests)
Most of these tests come from one producer, so they may say more about that grower than the strain.
Flower tested under this name in legal US markets, 2018–2024. The range covers the middle 90% of tests. Growers and labs vary, so a given jar can fall outside it. Data: Jikomes & Zoorob (CC0), Cannabis Wise Guys (CC BY 4.0), Cannlytics (CC BY 4.0).
About Red Pop
Red Pop, also called Faygo Red Pop after the Michigan strawberry soda, was popularized by Exotic Genetix as a parent of Strawberry Gary and Red Runtz.
Sources consistently list Red Pop as a hybrid cross combining Afghani and Strawberry, attributed to Exotic Genetix. It appears in legal flower testing across 3 states between 2018 and 2024, with a large share of lab submissions coming from a single regional producer.
Aroma and flavor
Reported as sweet strawberry cream soda and candied berries. Across lab terpene panels, caryophyllene, limonene and humulene most frequently test as the dominant terpenes, though the sensory balance shifts from harvest to harvest.
Reported effects
Consumers commonly report an elevated, euphoric mood, physical relaxation and a lighthearted, giggly mood, fitting its reputation for afternoon or evening use. Reported downsides include dry mouth.
