Moxie soda11/20/2022 ![]() ![]() It's not strong, the sweet is stronger, but it's quite distinct. Right behind that-no more than a second behind-a bitter herbal taste surges up. That part is odd-it reminds me vaguely of the tooth-polishing compound you get at the dentist, or quick-dissolve allergy medicine.īut then it hits you. Right behind that is a secondary sweet taste, with a strong chalky component, and a bit of mint. The initial taste is quite sweet, vaguely cola-ish, but sweeter. Maybe licorice? Smells a bit like Dandelion and Burdock soda. Scent: sweet cola, but with a strong herbal note. Where and when: purchased April 2009 at Galco's, Los AngelesĬolor: dark brown, just a hint of purple. *hands the bottle to the Kibbitzer-in-Chief* OK, I can see how the caffeine and sugar would help with the exhaustion part, but insomnia? Maybe that's the gentian root extract.Īnd wait, there's one more thing I have to do. " Originally known as Moxie Nerve Food, legend says it was an aid to digestion, a cure-all for nervousness, insomnia, and exhaustion"Ī cure for both insomnia and exhaustion? This is some impressive stuff. ![]() Moxie's label is quite distinctive it suggests that one "Drink It for Vim and Vigor!", and even provides a short abstract: Even more so for them to have predicted the existence of a CA CRV.) (I am assuming that this bottle is not itself from 1884, as it would have been an example of remarkable prescience on the part of the bottler to print "Since 1884" on the bottle. Whether its formula is truly unchanged in that time is not clear. The bottle further claims that its heritage dates to 1884, which is pretty old for a Weird Soda. So tonight we have a bottle of Moxie, surnamed the "Original Elixir". My status as a preeminent scienttist of the Weird Soda community allowed me to procure one of these "living dinosaur" Weird Soda speciments from Galco's. (There have even been exciting recent examples of retrograde evolution, such as Pepsi Throwback). The Galco's Institute of Weird Soda Science has found descendants of these early Weird Sodas which have shown little change the coelacanths of the Weird Soda world. Only later in its development did the non-Weird classes appear. In the beginning, it appears that all soda was Weird. But the history of Weird Soda development-its origins, systematics, and evolution-holds probably the greatest promise for the advancement of Weird Soda Science. And, of course, the military's use of Biotta as a non-lethal (barely) weapon shows great potential. Researchers looking into the conditions on Earth which led to the formation of self-replicating molecules have made great strides with Kombucha Wonder Drink. A lot of fruitful work has been done in carbonation intensification, including the possibility of bubble-based fusion*. There are many avenues of Weird Soda research which intrepid investigators have been following. ![]()
