Moxie is famous for 2 things: Being advertised by Ted Williams back in the day...and tasting like shit 😁 I would describe the taste as bubble gum flavored soda.

also used as word fora lot of get up an go . you don't see it any more in Massachusetts .

It technically doesn't qualify as a "soda" it's not carbonated. It's a tonic.

Like coka cola had cocaine in it and was used for nerves.

I tried it and it was terrible

This cola has changed much over the years. It now has a mild after taste of Gentian root.

I grew up drinking this. Most underrated soda. I used to work with my stepfather as a bartender in San Francisco. I found could almost replicate the flavor by mixing Coke, root beer, and Angostura Bitters.

Mix it with coffee brandy and enjoy a Burnt Trailer

Moxie was my favorite soda in the first three decades of my life but I kind of drifted away from it and it is a little hard to find, even in Boston. I like it but I always told people it tasted bad just to warn them!

My viewing companion has just said, "The beverage equivalent of Vegemite!" BWAHAHAHAHA! I like the taste...

Just remembah, you got Moxie from us Massholes

I found out about Moxie from a TV show and I found some locally in Oregon and tried it and love it!!

Moxie fest hold your breath drink it pour the rest out but the festival was great

It was so popular it spawned a popular phrase. I like the diet version

Moxie tastes like well-used automatic transmission fluid.

@MainePublic Please, how do I join?

Never heard of it.

farmers find them every year plowing the fields, the stones would then be rolled to mark the edge of a field or more commonly, the property line.

Last time I had Moxie, probably five years ago, I thought it tasted like a hybrid between a Coke-like soda and rootbeer.

Didn’t even know Moxie was still produced.

Oddly licorice like, and it tastes better the older I get

It's an acquired taste, that's for sure!

Moxie is one of the worst sodas I’ve ever had. I’m glad they like it though.

I moved to Maine from California. Always been a Dr. Pepper drinker, but in order to immerse myself in Maine culture, I tried Moxie. I absolutely love it. So much in fact that I drank too much of it and raised my blood sugar! Now I drink it occasionally.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Hadley was my grandfather and seeing his wonderful storytelling legacy preserved online is a huge honor to him and his family of storytellers.

I remember seeing Moxie 'easter egg' ads in old, old issues of Mad magazine as a kid, then as an adult I got a few cans of it. I drank a couple of them, it was good. I still have some full cans just as mementos.

I'd sooner drink Malört than Moxie... just sayin'.

I can’t understand why anyone would settle in New England. Why endure the cold, just leave and be warm, fed and nourished by nature year round

I grew up with a LOVE Moxie (though it's seldom I get it). A friend of mine once described the taste as "smoked cola" - I think that's a good description.

I'm from Tennessee, stopped by a Hannaford's store in New Hampshire once while visiting my in-laws, grabbed a 2 liter bottle of Moxie, and mentioned I've never tried Moxie before while at the register. So they actually gave me the 2 liter bottle for free. All I'll say is its very much an acquired taste. Someone once told me I'd be better off licking a telephone pole than trying it. I don't quite agree, but it tastes like licorice mixed with something else.

Stupid and unnecessary, find another spot to destroy for your "clean" energy

I was introduced to Moxie in 2000 while vacationing in your wonderful State.I was on my way to Sugarloaf and made a grocery stop in Kingfield beforehand.I noticed a Moxie vending machine inside the grocery store.It was a new brand to me.I'm a Southerner.I was curious and wanted to try the product.I don't remember the cost but it wasn't much and I had change in my pocket so I took the plunge.After taking a small sip my taste buds were in uncharted waters to say the least.I took another sip and decided that I liked it.We have Moxie locally now but only in the gift shops of Cracker Barrel restaurants.I pick up a bottle occasionally since we have a location nearby.Moxie has no equal and it's difficult to make comparisons.The closest that I can come is a local carbonated beverage that has been around since 1901,Buffalo Rock ginger ale.I have a Moxie bottle as well as a can in my collection.Thanks for posting this informative video.I learned some interesting facts about Moxie.

Im from Quebec, there's also some stone walls

This goes up north through vermont into canada quebecs eastern townships as well. When farmers cleared their fields they used the stones to set their property lines.

That is really interesting and we are lucky to have them

I worked for John in the summer of 1986 after I graduated from Unity College. I lived in a tent a couple of miles from their business. The Kennebec River was a wonderful place to raft seven days a week. Some days were quite dangerous, as the rafts back in the 80s were long, too flexible, and had no footholds. Today's rafts are shorter, sturdier, and safer. I loved Maine rafting that one summer. It led me to future guiding in California, Oregon and Washington State. What a nice trip down memory lane watching this film, 50 years since it was filmed. Wow!! Greenville was a tiny wee town. it's grown quite a bit in the past 4 decades.

Best Go With Bourbon 🥃.

She's got Moxie! one of the longest running ad campaigns that once it was introduced, it ran on its own legs for DECADES. Because it started prior to 1900, and kept going well into the late 50s! That, is a world famous ad for a world famous soda! The thing that blows me away? Moxie was bigger than Coca-Cola for a few decades, Moxie was nationwide when Coca-Cola was regional. Thats amazing. Sadly, now Coca-Cola now owns Moxie.

Little in this life beats the sublime majesty of an ice cream float made with Moxie. Even my wife likes that and she thinks Moxie tastes like something drained out of an old radiator.

My Father always used the phrase "you've got a lot of Moxie Mr."

When I lived in NYC I would tell people it tastes like carbonated shoe polish.

Would be interesting to speculate what the landscape would have looked like if the Native Americans had sheep, cattle, hogs etc. way before the arrival of British colonists.

Moxie is dead. Coca-cola killed it. The sugar was replaced with corn syrup. It is no longer the same nor does it taste as it used to.

“Essentials” to me is me and my shit… Peace ✌🏼

Me grabbing a fire extinguisher

If this is the type of shenanigans women do at the office why still hire em lol

As a bi black man I’m sad that I was not grabbed

That’s the most polite fire alarm I’ve ever heard 💀
