I find this post rather timely. i just had some Moxie about a week ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Just like when I was a little kid over 40 years ago, I bought it at a gas station. Only then to me it was the worst tasting stuff around. I used to drive my bike down to the Esso station and pump up my bike tires with the air hose, then we'd get a soda or a candy bar. I used to like the Wert sodas. We could get a bottle for 7cents. This Moxie I had last week was in a can rather than a bottle, and had a sweet taste to it. Not the terrible taste I recall from long ago.
Moxie is great! The first sip may taste a bit off for a first time taster, but after that it is so much better than Coke and Pepsi and all the others out there. Hey, I remember my first cup of coffee.. thinking to myself, oh how can people drink this.. and my first beer.... oh well .. :):):)

Do I have Moxie? You're damn right I do (see). Do I drink Moxie? Yech, no, the stuff was awful. It's not still around, is it?
I think it is still around, but in a new form.

Hometown Favorites has it.
Moxie is sold at Resslers in Nazareth. I love it!!!
Bernie,
I did not know Moxie was available around here. I must try some!
I'll bring some to MM's meeting tomorrow for those who can make it. It is definitely an acquired taste.

All right, I'll try it again. Last time I tried it I was like 8 years old ...
Mea culpa, mea clupa, mea maxima culpa! I forgot the Moxie! I promise to bring it to our next gathering.

Thanks for your comment Marc. I am looking forward to trying Moxie now that I have heard it is available around here. I just love the name!
