[Sca-cooks] Mo+ie way 00P

[ariann]

They still make Moxie.  It's a New England (patent medicine) thing.  I saw
it in the store (Newton, MA) when I helped my sister do her Thanksgiving
shopping.  They sell it by the 6-pk at around $7 - $8.  It's a root soda,
genitian (sp?), I think.  I drank one as a kid because it came in a pretty
orange bottle. It's really astringent and tastes like a nasty prune, with an
aftertaste that doesn't quit.   They sell it all over the Cape to the
tourists. It's the only thing the Gypsy moths won't touch!
