I guess I'm one of the few that actually like the stuff. Haven't seen it for years, though. Not that I've been looking for it......

I liked the short-lived Vanilla version of Pepsi. But I only used it as a mixer. Now I just put vanilla vodka into cola and voila--same effect!

...marketing...

I think it had more to do with the intense hunger I was feeling when I went to pick up my lunch. I usually opt for Dr. Pepper, but felt like a Coke and then saw the Vanilla and said, What the hell?". Like in what the hell was I thinking?

Here's my favorite random soda:

You either love it, or hate it. I haven't found much middle ground with Moxie.

I'm a Moxie hater. Just never acquired a taste for the stuff.


If you put real vanilla extract in cola, it tastes pretty good. Just like a real lime or lemon squeezed into cola tastes pretty good. The fake vanilla and fake citrus flavorings they put in cola are nasty.

I like it. I was at the product launch at the Vanilla Bean Cafe in Pomfret years back. The music dept. from my highschool performed there.

I'm with Geoff on both counts.

Moxie always struck me as something that belongs on the toolshed shelf, along with WD40 and Carburetor spray. I'm pretty convinced that it was never intended to be a drink, till some marketing jock got a hold of it ;)

We had a real "soda fountain" in my little village growing up. Nick would mix us a coke with vanilla syrup right from the fountain pump - you had to keep stirring it cause it settled; it was the best. Then his sister would chase us out of the place cause we hung around too long!
