Eight Year Old Pleasure

So here I am once again awake when I should be snug in bed with my lovely wife. Normal behavior of late. Anyway thirst is like a tiger this morning, and I want something cold and different.

I walk around and check our pantries and way in the back I find two six packs of Moxie. Moxie became a habit for me many years ago while on vacation in Maine.

I take one from the sixpack and try and remember when I'd purchased the soda. It really didn't matter, I was thirsty.

I poured the brew over ice and kicked back, satisfied. Then I remembered when I'd purchased and stored  the cans.

I'd just drank an eight year old Moxie. 2004 was a fine vintage.

    1. I grew up on the stuff. Old timers would mix it 50/50 with milk.

      Moxie is hard to come by once you leave New England.

    2. Pissed, it sure gets old, doesn't it. Thanks.

      Sixbears, Now I'll have to try and mix it with milk for a try...interesting. You are correct. I buy it online. Thanks, my friend.

  2. Really? I did not know soda had much of a shelf life. Is it a cola? I have never heard of Moxie.

    1. Seems it has a wonderful shelf life...yes for real. It had great flavor and sizzle. Moxie is limited to the New England area of the states, but can be purchased online. Thanks, Mamma Bear.
