Southington is always bad. There's just something about 27-32 even though it's pretty smooth and straight road

Most of the Stop&Shop supermarkets in central CT or at least Middlesex county carry both Moxie and Diet. Love the stuff myself.

Respek, respek to you for keeping it real about the diversity ting, my friend. It's like, why would you wanna live in a place that's just a sea of whiteness, you know what I'm sayin'? It's like, where's the flavor, where's the spice, where's the funky funky fresh vibes?
But anyways, it's good to hear you're reppin' your hometown like a true OG, even though it's not the main topic of conversation. And as for Manchester and EH, they might have changed a lot since the '70s, but one thing that never changes is the people, you know what I'm sayin'? And if the people are cool, then the place is cool.

Lol, this cracks me up. I was born in Manchester and currently live in EH. They’ve both changed tremendously since the ‘70s. They have their charms/merits, too. In terms of diversity, they’re not as sparkly white as WH and Glastonbury, which is definitely appealing to me. Being around only white people for too long gives me the willies. And I’m white! I prefer Hartford over all of these, but I know it’s not the focus of your question.

Moxie is only one flavor though. Hosmer Mountain makes a bunch of flavors, and none of them are Moxie or a copycat flavor.

I like moxie, the soda, but not so sure I’d eat this, from your link….
Moxie ice cream is seasonally available in Maine in limited quantities and is mild in flavor as compared to the soft drink

If you are comparing it to WeHa and Glastonbury, I would say yes.

Last year when I was in Wallingford at a Big Y, I saw it there and bought every six pack they had on shelf and asked if they had more in the back.
Moxie is very unique in taste and if you had it as a kid, it brings back the memories at times. It's a liquid time machine😁
Haven't seen it since, but I still look for it.
I find most large supermarkets further north may have it, but similar to hunting bourbon, you have to look in odd areas in the soda aisle, it doesn't sell well so they put it in unusual spaces.

While it's certainly not exactly the same, if you're a fan of Moxie's flavor profile, and like to consume adult beverages, a dark amaro (like Ramazzotti) and soda is a great way to go.

Sin taxes are called as such because they are designed to curtail the use of that which is being taxes. The gas tax isn’t to discourage the purchase of gas. It’s to pay for the roads that the gas is being used on.

Fun trivia - the soda actually predates the word moxie, meaning determination or nerve - the word is based on the character required to drink the, uhh, "soda."

Everything, basically? When I got tested, I came up positive for every environmental allergen on the test. Pollen, pet dander, mold, bugs, dust, fungus, grass, trees- you name it, I’m probably allergic. I’m stuffy and sneezy all year round :,)

It was one of the first sodas, created in 1884; about the same age as coke. They were marked as medicinal.
