Hey, I love moxie. It actually used to be a much more pupular drink than
coke, a LONG time ago, but they made the meathead-dumb mistake of cutting
back on advertising.

I think you are correct about that. At first, I wondered if I could actually
finish my first drink. But, by the end, I kinda liked it. As you said,
you have to be in the mood for it. For that reason, it may not be successful.
I hope it sticks around -- gives you another choice of soft drink.

Is it really OK to have 'krunk' in a post about OK?
Weird trivial 'fact' I heard: The two most recognized words in the world are:
#2. Coke
#1. OK
Coincidence?

All I remember about Moxie was when I was on a date back in Junior
High. Her mom was driving, we were trying to hold hands in the
back seat. Her two sisters were peering over the back seat and
giggling like sisters do. Her mom said, hey RC (yeah, that was
my nickname all through school, and I *do* like the stuff) try
this drink called 'Moxie'. I said sure, and laughing, took a
swig - coughed - and sprayed it all over the back of her mom's
head. I think that girl is married now. sigh.

There was a news segment here in Boston (OK is all over the state of MA as far as
I can tell) that said that the Coca Cola company did marketing research and
discovered the above mentioned fact, and that is why they named the soda OK.
By the way, did anyone here the segment on OK they had on NPR a month or so back?

It wasn't me who wrote this... someone replied to my message and said
this...

I suppose the 2 options is due to the lack of availability. What do the
4 options contain?

Moxie is the worst beverage I have ever experienced! It tastes exactly like
cough medicine.
When I was in High School, my friends and I had a running bet - $10.00 to
anyone who could finish an entire can of Moxie. No one ever did. One by one
we accepted the challenge. Each of us with the words: "10 bucks, how bad can
it be? It's only a can." Then the 'victom' would walk into the local Honey
Farms and come out with a moxie. I think I actually got the farthest - 3 sips
before my stomach threatened to send my lunch into orbit. One guy actually did
spew a mouthful of moxie all over the windshield of the car after he tried it.
As for OK, I just tried it for the first time this weekend and I would agree
that it is indeed OK. It tasted pretty much like orange soda to me, so I
would agree with the Orange+Coke theory. It wasn't the best thing I had ever
had, but I would have to say that I liked it. I'd buy it again.
So anyway, now I must admit I do feel quote O-K unquote circle R.
Peace,
-Scott.
