I was first introduced to it in a book where it was described as a carbonated tire and after finding it at cracker barrel I can confirm that's an accurate description
The Ramos Ages ago I was a lifeguard for a summer. Saturday mornings Gloria O would bring a backgammon board, her incredibly sexy self and a pitcher of Ramos for us to indulge. She was phenomenal. As wonderful as those fizzes may have been she still lives forever in my ❤ Gloria I hope you have a wonderful wonderful life ❤❤❤❤ I know I do. Every time I hear Ramos I think of her. Thanks for bringing her to mind.🎉
My first thought, when I heard that Plantation was changing to Planteray to distance itself from slavery, was that ‘plantation’ is less connotative of slavery than the word ‘rum’. Rum was made by slaves, and traded for slaves, and given to slaves as part of their rations sometimes. In New England, a ‘plantation’ just meant a settlement. Half of rural Maine towns (speaking of Moxie) seem to be named some kind of plantation. Rhode Island was always associated with ‘Providence Plantations’ until quite recently. They can do what they want with their own company, but it seems to me to be just another hollow, shallow virtue signalling gesture, as the company had nothing to do with slavery other than that it made rum and rum is connected to slavery historically.
I always imagined moxie is like the original Coca Cola because it’s almost medicinal. I used to drink it when I was tired because it smacks you in the face
I highly suggest trying out Puma Cola (I believe the company is Sprecher, which is known for its root beer), which you can get online or from most stores that have lots of colas, like candy shops. It's almost like the mead of soda. Absolutely delightful honey honey-vanilla flavor and is surprisingly smooth -- not as carbonated as other colas, and not as crisp on the tongue, so it goes down real smooth. I've never tasted anything like it before (and I'd love to find other "smooth" sodas too). I bet you'd also get a kick out of Fentiman's Curiosity Cola and Dandelion and Burbock soda, if you haven't tried it already. Fun, fermented bitterness. I can't drink alcohol due to medication (but I still love this channel) so Fentiman's is the closest I can get to a fermented drink xD
We go to Maine for a week or two every summer, and I usually pick up a pack of Moxie on our first supermarket run, only to find none of the stores had it. Apparently Coke bought the company a couple years back and decided to stop production. I have tried making cocktails with it, but had little luck. I did see one recipe online that was reasonably good: Moxie, gin and a dash or two of Worstershire sauce.
On my travels, I used to buy random colas I had never heard of. One of those was Moxie. I took one gulp and spit it out and poured that awful bitter licorice varnish down the drain!
2 linguistic notes on the bloody mary one - brits say tom-ah-to, thank you very much 😂 and the place the sauce is named for over here i believe is wuh-ster-sher (although that is with a heavy english accent), do with this what you will. continue my good sir, cause this is bloody beautiful 😂
I've said this on other pages as well, but here goes again: I had to give up caffeine 20-some years ago, and the ONLY thing I miss is Moxie. Moved to the Midwest a few years ago, though, so at least the temptation isn't always right there anymore.
