I happen to like Moxie soda and no, I’m not from New England. It has a unique taste and isn’t very sweet for a soft drink.

You’d better listen to this guy!

The taste can be an off-putter to some, I guess. Their slogan is “Distinctively Different.” It is that, and I’ve heard that’s from the Gentian root in its recipe. Moxie was originally (it came out before Coca-Cola!) promoted as a “nerve food,” and we all can use that nowadays.

A few years ago, Coca-Cola bought out Moxie, which originally was produced and sold only in New England.

You can’t make this stuff up, Ladies and Gentlemen!

When our kids were little, Moxie (ordered from Amazon.com or elsewhere online) was the only soft drink I could keep in the fridge without it disappearing!!! The kids hated the taste.

The Moxie website states that the stuff is sold in Florida now, at Publix. Not in the ones in our area, and we’ve looked.

So to get it I have to still go online. The 12-pack of Diet Moxie cans I bought this morning was $30.00. Thank goodness the shipping is free with Amazon Prime.

Modernized, but still commanding . . .
