Any DUers that actually like to drink "Moxie"?
My dad loved that vile shit back when I was a kid in the 60's. He never had to worry about anyone drinking his beverage from the fridge.

Do they still sell that stuff?

Moxie = :puke:

10. A carbonated drink that looks like Cola, but then when you taste it...
:puke: Kind of a sharp bitter, slightly sweet, slightly licorice tasting swill.

4. They do still sell it
I had it for the first time this year. It is horrible. Worst..soda..ever.. I recommend Chicago's "Green River" soda if you're looking for a tasty soda that isn't one of the usual brands.

12. Score a bottle from the 20's and really enjoy - the current version is too
sweet and has less bite/less gag power! I do love herb juice!

But then Moxie went out of business - and it is nice to have Moxie back
