Our property in Albion, Maine had several stone walls. As children we loved to examine the stones because, even though we lived in central Maine, about 30 miles north-east of Augusta, we found loads of sea shell fossils. Many hours spent wondering how they got there.

I learned about Moxie totally in MAD Magazine. In the 1960s! Every diff artist had Moxie bottles, cans, or posters drawn in their rooms or outdoor scenes. As a kid I thought it was a made-up drink, I didn’t know it was real; later I thought it was something from the past. But I always appreciated it as a comic visual - and it wasn’t till I was a very very grownup that I realized Moxie is still going strong! 😂 Thank you, MAD Magazine, for making my life better in so many ways! 😊

Moxie is an enigma. It's really a beverage of it's own with some type of divine power.

I drank exactly one Moxie. That was enough. For me the after taste was like machine oil and dirt. Not “earthy “ dirt. Filth dirt.

Love moxie even though its hard to find in California. I tell people it tastes like sucking on a penny in the best way possible 😂

So as a Canadian...........I can imagine it tastes like BARQS

Tastes like yuck

My wife and I took our honeymoon in Maine. If it weren’t for family attachments back home we probably would have never left.

My fav soda 8-)

Moxie tastes like highway tar smells on a hot Alabama summer day. . . . and I love it, especially that its name became slang for courage, energy, and competence.

Pretty sure only Mainers like Moxie.

absolutely love it been drinking it since I was a verry small child and im 61 now it's good with rum too think it tastes bad plane try one of those a dirty oil can they call it.

Love the video, I just wish more people would rock the original 1901 Maine flag vs the one that Maine flag company made up that seemed to really take off.

Moxie is awful. And that’s coming from a Mainer.

It tastes like someone made necco wafers into a drink...gross.

Can we learn why Maine sells neon pink hot dogs in gas stations? The cashier just told me “It’s a Maine thing” and as a Texan, I don’t like my lines used against me.

I'm from Texas and Moxie is so delicious. Shoutout to Maine!

It tastes like shit , like a cola that was made to be bitter instead of sweet . Gross .

gross is what it tastes like

Never heard of this soda

Thank god he lost.

Ice cold= great Hot like tea= surprisingly good Anywhere in between= tastes off

Wish I was able to get it on my trip to Portland. Couldn't find it anywhere for some reason!

Stephen King's 11/22/63 brought me here. Right down to the guy dressed up as Doc Moxie, thanks for the info!

My high school math teacher loved it. A friend and I tried it we were not as big fans

My mom loved Moxie But I hate it so much the only soda I will never drink again. It's bland with a little battery aid tast.

So Mainers will swear by a sasafras drink like moxie but loath seltzer......mmkay.🤨😆Mainers have really bad tastes.

I love in Florida so only see it sporadically but when I do, I always pick up a bottle. Delicious stuff. Definitely one of the most unique sodas around. It tastes like a slightly more bitter Dr. Pepper.

i am reading a book by Mary C. Jane called The Mystery on Nine Mile Marsh & one of the characters loves Moxie. had to know what it was, thx so much for this video

I am old enough to know that they have changed the formula. It used to be a really BOLD hate it or like it taste. Very herbal. They have dumbed down the strength of the flavor by about 50%.

The Iroquois said they was there before them. Keep looking you will verify lol americas history the BIG LIE

I've seen a version of that hunting story in a newspaper from 1851. Probably it was even older than that.

Im glad every cracker barrel sells Moxie and other unique older sodas

I appreciate this coverage of my favorite beverage. love from Louisiana.

Not one single Mainer in this video. Sad

Moxie is missing a good marketing opportunity with that "path to a good life" saying.

I wish I could buy moxie here in the midwest.

I guess Lisbon Falls has nothing else going for it other than the small town charm that I like about all small towns in Maine, that it had to lie.

Moxie was invented in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1876. For years I drove past a house near Union, Maine and was told it was the Moxie house where it was invented. If you are going to make a video get your facts straight.

This was great. After moving out of New England, one of the things I miss the most is Moxie.

it's the aftertaste that gets you

Moxie tastes rubber and tar

Good dogs!!

I grew up in Maine, and was always aware of Moxie and tried it very early on out of curiosity. I remember it was the first time I had bought a bottle of soda and had been unable to finish it - it was just so awful and gross, with that horrific aftertaste and the way it seemed to coat your mouth and linger for minutes afterwards, even if you drank something else. Ugh. I remember they put out a line of “Moxie” energy drinks once that tasted absolutely nothing like actual Moxie, and I liked those.

Arkansas has stone walls like this for miles in the middle of the ozark national forest. Old cemeteries from the early 1800s show proof of all of the families that built these same fence structures. It’s not uncommon to walk a couple miles off the old logging roads and find walls in the middle of the woods.

When I was a kid we used to play games where the loser had to drink Moxie. I'll just say this, the thought of tasting that drink was plenty motivation to win!

The best way to explain the flavor of Moxie is that it tastes like carbonated cough syrup. I really really wanted to like it; cool name and cool Logo. But man, it's bad.

I only know about Moxie from Mad magazine's running gag back in the 50's and 60's.

What's all this grit and determination to be a Moxie fan? It's literally soda. No big deal. I like it. Tastes like I imagine pine tar would.

Get Stephen King to write a horror story around it
