Ahhh.... Moxie.  Good stuff.  Well, if you like soft
drinks that taste like carbonated cough syrup.  One
day at a station I worked for back in Maine I walked
into the studio just in time to see a person's first
drink of moxie.  Our morning show news woman/cohost
was from Michigan and had never had the stuff.  Too
bad it was radio and not TV because the face she made
was classic.
