The world is divided into people who like Moxie and people who don't. There is no one in between.

An empty Moxie bottle on my desk starts passersby in a conversation beginning with either "Moxie! Alright!" or "Moxie? Gross." (The fact that the bottle is empty should of course tell you that I do, indeed, like Moxie.)

Moxie has Maine roots, and so do I. Maybe that has something to do with it? (Interesting fact: Gov. John Baldacci made it the state's official soft drink in 2005.)

Some I've spoken to (as well as some in the Facebook comments below) grew up with the orange label in their refrigerators, and grew to love the soda's "distinctively different" flavor. Others said the "stuff makes [their] face scrunch up."

Check out the comments below. There's even a recipe for Moxie whoopie pies in there. What could be better than that?
