I know plenty of fellow Mainers who wouldn’t be caught dead drinking this stuff.
I, on the otherhand, have loved it since I was a babe.
I don’t drink soda-pops very often, but when I do, make mine a MOXIE!

I'll stick with Vernor's.
If I had to guess, I’d say most Mainers drink Pepsi/Diet Pepsi. I always preferred Coca~Cola to Pepsi, especially in a glass bottle.
But if it’s an option, I’ll take a Moxie!

I can't remember the last time I had a cola of any ilk. Ginger ale, once a week, Vernor's if it's available. Pepsi always left my teeth chalky feeling. Mostly, I drink water. On rare occasions I'll have a beer (craft or import).
On a regular day I only drink black coffees, and water (seltzer and regular).
If I go to a restaurant, sometimes I go wild and order an unsweetened Iced Tea.
Soda-pop is an extravagance for special occasions, and there aren’t too many of those.

My extravagance is proper lemonade---Chick-fil-a has one of the better versions.
Well...... the next time I visit York / Kittery I will try a Moxie .... but there always room in the car for this on the way home ..and that's all the Moxie I need
There ya go!
I know that stuff. Back in my rowdy old days, I definitely drank my share of Shipyard Summer.
We don't get that down here , one of my favorites too . I found it once ...in a can ...beer in a can causes drain bramage
My daughter was up this past spring and brought some home for her daddy .... she's a good girl
I love all kinds of low-sugar-vitamine water but you don`t find them everywhere over here. Plus they are double the price of a cola.
The Coca Cola company tried to establish them in our market about 10 years ago and nobody- except me- bought them.

We've been on a New England Style IPA kick for the past year. Lots of good ones. Our local liquor store has a bunch from Maine Beer Company.

Yeah, Maine’s been in on the craft brew thing for a long long time. I remember when there was only 6 brands 20+ years ago, but that number grew and grew.
Same thing in Minnesota. Sometimes you have one from a small brewer and then you can't find it again.
Lobster is the main Maine thing, but in a perfect world, Moxie would be!
Fascinating video! I think Ms Moxie needs to work on a script. Describing it as flat root beer, flat Pepsi and a drop of cough syrup os not great advertisement.
I agree, she doesn’t deserve the crown!

Never had Moxie but would be willing to try. Being from Texas originally, it’s Dr. Pepper for me.
For you who imbibe, if you’re ever in Wisconsin, be sure to try New Galarus. If you’re not in Wisconsin, keep an eye out for anything Founder’s or Bell’s! Good stuff for sure. And if you’re ever in Rochester, MN, make damn sure you visit Forager — Mother of God that’s amazing beer!!!
