Moxie: A Polarizing Beverage
I gave my friend Ben a Moxie. He said, "It smells like gun oil. I feel like I'm drinking gun oil." Nevertheless he's only the second person I've ever introduced to Moxie that liked it--I married the other one, although not for that reason.
Ben is going to be getting another case of "hot" Blenheim ginger beer soon. When he introduced me to it last year, I went to take a sip and coughed before it even got to my mouth, the aroma was that strong. It burned on the way down--he assured me it was non-alcoholic. He also introduced me to Cheerwine and that, although I was able to get it to my mouth without complication, I found it too sweet and fruity to buy some myself. I wouldn't turn down a can, though.
My boss just tried a sip of Ben's Moxie. He says it's like drinking watered down Nyquil. So I still have met only two people who I've introduced Moxie to who liked it.

But it was a factor, right?

It certainly did make me notice ...

Ah, Cheerwine! Used to only be available in Western North Carolina. Love the stuff. There's some ginger ale made in Michigan that's famous but the name of it I have still somehow managed to forget. Tried it one time, and it was so spicy it scalded all the way down. Vile stuff, I thought. Jones Sodas are pretty tasty, and some of the Mexican soft drinks (the Jarritos brand) are delicious.

Shudder all around...what was this Fear Factor at Slublog's house?I've had Moxie and the NyQill description seems about spot on for me, but, I've had worse (see below). And let me tell you about Jones Soda...My sister in law bought me one of those Jones Soda "Thanksgiving Meal" sets, thats right, its different sodas for dishes,sounds pretty cool right?, it's not. There is turkey & gravy, pumpkin pie, cranberry and the worst of them all...brussel sprouts. Turpentine has a sister and she is called Brussel Sprout soda. I almost throw up in my mouth each time I think back on the day I tried it, that most horrible, horrible day....

D.Carter: You're thinking of Vernor's. You can get it down here in Indiana too at the supermarket. It is spicy, but nothing that stuff Ben had me try.
Kurt: The Jones Soda story reminds me of the menus they give you when you get your jaw wired shut about how you can eat everything you did before--as long as you liquify it in a blender first.
Posted by: Joe at May 20, 2006 12:47 PM
I must take this opportunity to explain the cardinal rule of introducing anyone to Moxie: As they are taking their first sip, do not under any circumstances stand directly in front of them. I learned this the hard way.

Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space --great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness. wajadud555

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I imagine I get what youre expressing. I have an understanding of what you are saying, but you just appear to have ignored that you'll find some other folks inside the world who view this matter for what it truly is and may possibly not agree with you. You may be turning away a lot of persons who may have been supporters of your weblog.
