Okay, so now I know that Moxie tastes like:
1. Ipecac (the impression I got from the internet)[:'(]; OR
2. Chicken[:-]; or
3. Gator[]; or
4. Possum[>:]; or
5. Coke + Root Beer & a little bitter[8D].
I hope you're right, Miles!!!!!
PS: It was SO fun to open Gutherhess' book & find my Moxie bottle right away...$18.00! (Not that I'd ever sell it). []
We're all right...kinda... you just have to mix up all of those ingredients we listed for you and there you have it[8D] Quite frankly, the bottle is better tasting then the contents[]
No No No..... guys you have it all wrong.... try that crap again & think of pepper!!!![:-] I live one town over from Moxie festival (July) & that is the nastiest stuff I have ever gagged on![&o] Hubby loves it but that is his home town.....yukkkkkk!!
I know they have a Moxie Festival every year in Lisbon Maine but there may be some others as well. You have to aquire a taste for Moxie, sorta reminds me of chewing spruce gum.
Can you say Dr. Pepper.... but not. It's still my nerve food of choice. A little medicine like but sort of sweet..
Anyway, back on the bottle... look for the western, Denver I think. They bring in big bucks. The tapered collor to the blob and down to the crown top will fetch 10-30 dollars. Some say patent and some say trade mark etc. You san easily get a collection of thousands of items if you want to include openers, corkscwers, ads, ash & tip trays etc. Fun stuff!!!
I think it taste like rattlesnake almost. I'd much rather spend $15 lb for rattlesnake that $1 for chicken. Even though your less likely to choke an a chicken bone than a snakes.
