Who, or what, is buying and drinking the Moxie?

>Who, or what, is buying and drinking the Moxie?
I am. You should be.

I bought a bottle the last time I was at cracker barrel but I realize I forgot about it. it's presumably hidden behind something in my fridge right now

one publix out of the 6 around here have shelving for individual bottles. for some fucking reason these glass bottles are on the top shelf instead of the bottom, but they have moxie
tastes kinda like bubblegum

>>21477116 (OP)
It's great for cold/canker sores

>>21477116 (OP)
I have never seen this in my entire life and I've lived in 3 states that don't border each other

I have a can of it, I had 6 cans of it and gave the others away
everyone hated it, one sip and it was in the garbage

>>21477116 (OP)
I don't know what this is. I've never seen it in a store anywhere. Where are you that this is sold?

>>21477116 (OP)
I get it once in a while but only if they have diet

>>21477330
It's mostly a New England thing. A lot of people compare it to root beer.

>>21477116 (OP)
It’s the worst soda ever and faygo exists so that’s saying quite a lot

>>21477116 (OP)
I bought it once when I was at cracker barrel. Tastes awful. I'd also like to say the dude looks like benny from fallout

Is it comparable to root beer or licorice?

>>21477428
"Root beer" if you had to pick one, but don't get the impression that it's some rare artisanal find, it's just more corn syrup garbage manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company.

>>21477428
It's flavored with gentian root, same flavor as angostura bitters. It's herbal, caramel and medicinal tasting with a slight bitterness.

>>21477116 (OP)
I like it but they basically only sell it at Cracker Barrel, and it's good but I am hardly ever near a Cracker Barrel

>>21477116 (OP)
>Who, or what, is buying and drinking the Moxie?
Alkies, for mixers with cheap rotgut.

>>21477116 (OP)
I do. In college my friends and I found it mixes excellently with rum, tastes far better than either one on its own.. Now I drink it sometimes after I eat since the gentian root in it helps digestion.

>>21477187
Whzt are you a negro? Clean out youre fridge

>Who, or what, is buying and drinking the Moxie?
Modern society
As internet culture grew, so did indie/contrarian culture
Moxie objectively sucks so now any loser who wants to seem cool drinks it to be different

Probably the same people that eat this crud

>>21477116 (OP)
My grandpa used to drink it. There's been a single can of diet Moxie in my aunt's pantry for easily 7 years, going back to his death. I just think it's funny that the taste is so depressing that not a single person - out of the 15 or so who are constantly in and out of that house - has ever thought about touching it. I always check to see if it's still there when I visit.

>>21477116 (OP)
Did you ever watch True Blood? Moxie isn't for you.

>>21477815
>true blood
None of us here are women

>>21477116 (OP)
i buy and drink moxie. Moxie and rye is the thinking man’s whiskey and coke

>>21477116 (OP)
Every time I visit my cousin in Maine I pick some up

>>21477726
it's for his ghost.

>>21477663
the vast majority of the things in my fridge are easily accessible, it's just this one thing that I never bothered to get around to likely got pushed behind the water filter

>>21477726
it's kept there not because no one like moxie, but because everyone remembers him when they look at it. my dad died in 2014, and i still keep an unopened jar of his homemade plum jelly in my fridge.

>>21477116 (OP)
>many if not most gas stations, drug stores, and grocery stores carry it
I have literally only seen this stuff at novelty type stores like cracker barrel. Same with moon pies. Grocery stores around here don't sell it

>>21477116 (OP)
>many if not most gas stations, drug stores, and grocery stores carry it
where the fuck do you live? i have literally never seen it in a normal store and ive lived in 4 states
shits delicious though

>>21477403
Damn Anon...

>>21477116 (OP)
That shit tastes like soap. idk how they're still selling any.

>>21477116 (OP)
I drink it. The flavor is a bit wonky admittedly but I enjoy the diet version. I know a lot of people in Maine who are a little over the top in love with it.

>>21477116 (OP)
Moxie isn't a common drink in California outside of specialty shops/candy stores, but every time I saw some kid buy it led to the same look of disgust while they walked away with their parents. There was only ever one father I'd seen who was actually willing to tell his kid that it straight up tasted like shit.

you got moxie kid!

i had this once in maine, it was delicious. i wonder if i could order it online and get it shipped to virginia, i'll need to look into this

>>21477116 (OP)
mom taught me it's not polite to point finger at people

>>21478660
Karen's last ziti

Just went to Cracker Barrel and bought some because of this thread.
Shit tastes like root beer but with a really nasty bitter aftertaste. Who is drinking this shit on the regular?

>>21480651
Me. I like bittersweet

it's really good mixed with rum

>>21480096
i looked up how best to get moxie shipped to me, and seems like the only option is amazon which is 30 bucks for a 12 pack and half the reviews are just pictures of half the cans blown up once they got the package
guess im shit out of luck

>>21477116 (OP)
>Who, or what, is buying and drinking the Moxie?
Mainers over the age of 50

>>21481160
Now that you mention it, every single person ive talked to who drinks moxie has been a downeaster near retirement age

>>21481082
just get in the interstate and go to a cracker barrel. they'll have them in the general store.

>>21477116 (OP)
I've only seen it in Maine

>>21481160
I was gonna say this. I've seen it once or twice (Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, novelty soda places), but I thought it was a Maine exclusive and everyone else just gets it from them.

>>21477116 (OP)
what midwestern shithole do you live in that you see this stuff? boomers are the only ones who ever fucking talk about it and how it reminds them of childhood. of the many states ive traveled and lived in I've only seen it in a few specialty soda shops. it tastes like shit too btw.

>>21481364
I live in a midwestern shithole and I've never seen this crap. Don't pin this on us.

>>21481367
every boomer i know who raves about the shit through nostalgia was from the northern midwest.

>>21481369
nobody cares

>>21481234
i dont own a car (not cause im poor or anything i just live a car-free life and can use public transit)
i'll see if any cracker barrels are near me accessible by public transit. apparently some ace hardware stores may or may not have them in DC, i'll need to peruse

>>21481364
moxie is not a midwestern thing its a very strong new england thing specifically mass/maine
dunno why you think it's a midwestern thing

nerve foods are so hard to find these days

>>21481369
Maine is not in the midwest

>>21481289
LMFAO JUST LIKE CORONA BEER IN A CAN

>>21477616

I liken it to 1 part root beer + 1 part Dr. Pepper + a generous splash of bitters. It's not a perfect description but it's in that ballpark. The first time I tried it I didn't like it much but coming back to it 10 years later it's really good and I make a special trip to Cracker Barrel to get some occasionally.
