You can buy Moxie literally anywhere.

>>14626664
like where? ive only ever seen it at cracker barrel.
t. south texan

>>14626668
Most liquor stores these days have an entire aisle of regional sodas from all over the country. Otherwise go to a nicer grocery store.

>>14626659
Ya got Moxie, kid

Whats it taste like

>>14626733
birch beer + the bittering agent they put in medicine/on switch tablets to prevent kids from swallowing them

>>14626733
Like a root beer/birch beer on first sip but once you swallow it you taste an extremely bitter earthy root taste on your mouth.

It's one of those things no one actually likes, but only pretends to for the social capital you get by being unique/contrarian.

>>14626756
Lots of people like it, and it's hardly bitter.

>>14626764
>only pretends to for the social capital you get by being unique/contrarian
Like I said

>>14626768

>>14626782
being a killjoy in a social setting =/= being wrong

life-long Mainer here. my veins flow with the gentian root of Moxie.

>>14626791
>actually agreeing with that comic

>>14626827
The comic is about someone being autistic and ruining the mood of a social situation.

The guy never disagreed with his claim, only that his claim spoiled the fun.

There are tons of social settings where there are statements, true or false, that you just don't say because of the atmosphere.

>>14626756
>everyone else is just pretending to like it
Surest sign that you're both immature and a tastelet.

>>14626854
The guy never disagreed with his claim because the faggot author of the comic asserted his position was true, just like you're doing about Moxie, you dense lil dude.

>>14626816
Fellow Mainer here. Moxie is legitimately good. I don't like coffee brandy and I don't really care for lobster but Moxie is delicious. Also, fuck Portland.

>>14626674
>liquor store
>soda

>>14626854
>The comic is about someone being autistic and ruining the mood of a social situation.

The comic is written by an autistic man. He 100% believes he is in the right in that situation. When he wants to make the character look pretentious and wrong, he puts a little beret on the stick figure like a circa 1993 Francophile.

>>14627354
Are you underage or something?

>>14627362
The only soda in any liquor store I've ever been in is in those shitty pre-mixed coolers they hide in a shameful corner.

>>14626756
fuck you i love it

good bitters is amazing in drinks and i go heavy on it.

>>14627367
they always have that delicious cucumber soda at my local store

>>14627367
You don't have any warehouse style liquor stores near you?

>>14627439
They're all warehouse style. They're liquor stores, not soda fountains.

>>14627445
Try looking around next time.

>>14627448
Looking around what?

>>14627453
The soda aisle.

>>14627460
It's a liquor store, there is no soda aisle.

>>14627464
You should try looking around next time. You might be surprised at all the things they sell.

>>14627468
Looking around more won't make a non-existant aisle poof into reality. You might as well be telling me to look for the motor oil aisle while I'm at it.

>>14626791
You are that guy who literally will not take no for an answer to any question and loudly goes EH COME ONNNNNNNN or calls people 'pussy' when you don't get your way. Grow out of high school

>what are mixers
You're trying so hard not to look retarded, but in reality you should just leave the thread.

>>14627483
Every liquor store sells mixers. Try looking. Shit, one of the places I go has a mini-fridge behind one of the counters with the cigars with cured meats and caviar.

>>14627495
>>14627499
No liquor store I have ever been in carries mixers.
They are built near grocery stores so you can get mixers in the same general area, but they are never in the liquor store proper.

>>14626854
You know what ruins the mood of a social situation? Being peer pressured to drink something you hate. You pester the designated driver and underage kids to drink too don't you, you alcoholic manchild?

>>14626756
>bitter
Why do Americans think that anything that isn't chocolate-covered coca cola kisses is bitter?

>>14627367
Most liquor stores stock sodas and actual mixers for mixing, and they also usually have chips and snacks, unless they're run by poor Indians like mine

>>14627508
>Americans
>Discussing a regional american beverage
>Only available in America
Who the fuck asked you to pretend you knew how bitter or not a drink was that you've never even had

>>14627575
No chips. No snacks. No mixers. No soda. No motor oil
The liquor stores carry booze and only booze.

>>14627343
based. Fuck Portland. Fuck Lewiston. And most of all, fuck Massachusetts/

>>14626659
Vim slaps tho

>>14627508
>chocolate-covered coca cola kisses
This sounds like an Arctic Monkeys lyric

>>14627343
>doesn't like lobster despite being from the place with the best lobster
>unironically enjoys bitters
your mouth is busted

>>14627504
That's kind of weird. I'm an ABC state and even the state stores have the usual mixers. Granted, the other guy is being a sperg because I've never seen a liquor store that isn't also a convenience store carry soda.

>>14626659
It was me and moxy, we dropped down they weren't ready, our aim was muhfucking steady (yeah steady)

>>14626743
>>14626756
I WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT

>>14627583
ABC?

>>14626816
I went to Maine once and had to pass through Lewiston. What in the FUCK is going on there? I felt like I was in one of those videos where I can send kids nickels to eat.

Moxie is one of the sodas I can only get at "world" grocery stores like Jungle Jim's or World Market. Haven't tried but sounds pretty good.

>>14627361
xkcd is based and you're clearly a moron.

>>14626659
its actually sweeter now than it used to be but its still great

>>14626756
i bet you hate the taste of beer and wine too

>>14627592
>And most of all, fuck Massachusetts/
New Hampshirite, here, I second this. STAY IN YOUR OWN FUCKING STATE, MASSHOLES! YOU'VE GOT THE WHOLE OF WESTERN MASS TO SHIT UP!

>>14626659
Ace Hardware (several stock glass bottle sodas)
Fresh Market
Wegmans
Whole Foods

Those are the only places I've consistently seen them.

It looks pretty reasonably priced if you're fine with ordering online.

>>14626816
>>14627343
>fuck Portland
Y tho

>>14631662
Hipster central.

this is now a cracker barrel thread

>>14631662
First time I tried Moxie 20 years ago was in Portland. Oh yeah, it was Portland, OR though. Not sure why Maine fags think that Moxie is still their little regional secret; you can buy that shit anywhere.

>>14634397
No one does why are you inserting opinions that no one has?

>>14634389
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14627504
>No liquor store I have ever been in carries mixers.
prove it by posting the address to one of said liquor stores

Moxie isn't actually that good
Yes, it tastes herbal and bitter
No, that doesn't make it interesting or good

just drink alcohol with bitters instead of a soda

>>14635480
OK THANKS, I'M GOING TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID

>>14635410
I got a 50$ gift card to there once. I gave it away because the food's garbage.

>>14635549
:/

>>14626756
Get a load of this faggot.

>>14627361
xkcd is autistic?

>>14626733
It's flavored with gentian root. If you've ever had Suze liqueur or Angostura bitters, you're familiar with the flavor. If you haven't, it's like a root beer with an unusual aftertaste.

>>14635480
>just drink alcohol with bitters instead of a soda
Pink gin was good enough for Bond, after all.
>>14627863
Lobster's trash; it's food for prisoners, slaves, and tourists.

>>14626659
Bevmo has it. I prefer fentimans curiousity cola but that shit is expensive.
