I was asked this question....?

Question

"What is the first original Soft Drink in USA?"

this was asked as a trivia question, as I do not know anything about this I guessed "COKE COLA" which was wrong...lol as i just threw a guess out.....The person who asked told me the FIRST ORIGINAL USA SOFT DRINK was...******drum roll****** "MOXIE". well known in the state of Maine, as they have like a Moxie Celebration every year for this soft drink.........My question to you, as doing little "google searches" Do you agree with the person of answer of Moxie? another question....*if another question is legal out here* have you ever tried a Moxie? is Moxie available near you in your hometown? just courious about your thoughts....

thanks

P.S. Moxie is still made even to this day :)

Answer 1

I found the info and here is the best link to go to.

Notice how they say it is "one of the oldest soft drinks." My guess is that Coca-cola is the Oldest one and they are 2nd. Otherwise they would brag and say the "Oldest soft drink". They don't want to get sued my Coca-Cola. That's my opinion after reading it. Hope this was helpful. :-)

Answer 2

Never heard of Moxie

Answer 3

That's interesting. I think Moxie was first, but Coca Cola was here to stay

Answer 4

Moxie is right. I bought it at Cost Plus locally.

Answer 5

I've never heard of Moxie... wonder what it tastes like. I'm in Chicago and have never heard of it.

But I searched "oldest soft drink" and found this. My guess is that nobody really knows which came first...

Answer 6

I don't think I have EVER seen a real bottle of Moxie

Answer 7

I agree with MOXIE. My grandmother use to drink it and I think she was born in 1890. so it had to be made at least by 1905.

Answer 8

I believe Moxie is correct, I heard that on the Food Network. I heard it's disgustingly nasty.

Answer 9

Never heard of Moxie......which year it was made?? Funny name for a soda..

Answer 10

Pretty sure it was moxie, never tried,, don't have here.
