A local sweet shop had some bottles of Moxie for sale. I bought one for my grandkids to taste, just to watch their reactions.

But they changed the formula! It tastes pretty much like regular, sweet root beer, not the mouth-puckering bitter it used to be.

One more way this country is going down the tubes. Curse

While the taste of Moxie soda is memorably distinct, there are many who point out that if you’re trying it now for the first time, you’re still not getting the “original” Moxie experience. They say it’s not as carbonated as it used to be, or as bitter (which is a bad thing). This could be changing palates or the loss of sassafras (federally banned in 1960 as a potential carcinogen), but it could also be the high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar.

I've never had it, so I guess I'll also be missing out on the original flavor experience.....
