OMG! You can get Moxie in PA......

[Bill Reidy]

I did observe conductor Jason enjoying a can today as his first class steam train waited on the lower yard turntable lead for our second class train to arrive and discharge passengers before his train could take the platform...

[Jeff Schumaker]

Perhaps Jason should be the official museum spokesperson for Moxie.

I know where to get a Moxie T-shirt for him.  How about a calendar pic for next years WW&F calendar and send a copy to the Moxie folks - who knows maybe a corporate sponsorship!

[Jeff Schumaker]

Why not a photo of all the Moxie lovers at FWW? We could stand in front of #9 holding our bottles/cans of Moxie.

My wife Sue and I had a tour of another Moxie bottler - Orca Beverage of Mukilteo, Washington.  The manager told us if we had requested ahead of time, they would have run Moxie on the bottling line.  To my knowledge the Mukilteo and Catawissa Moxie products both use cane sugar.  Sue will drink those but usually not the local corn-sweetener produced offering.
I like them all.

Jeff,

Though some might think it a bit corny, I really like your idea of a group picture.  I really think we might get some sponsorship or a donation from all of this.  How about a "Moxie" boxcar for a photographers special consist?

[Bill Baskerville]

A talented member could always Photoshop the Moxie logo onto 309 in a train consist.

[Ed Lecuyer]

Grab a Moxie and a smile.
Or I'd like to teach the world to Moxie?

It's the real thing.

You beat me, Ed.  I just saw the story on boston.com:

Hmmmm…….  I know for a fact that Coke has a corporate sponsor program.  Preserving heritage and cultural identity (hmmm), isn't that what we are doing?  Sounds like the museum and Moxie are heading the same way.

I just heard a segment about Moxie on NPR:

For the railroad connection:  they interviewed people in the Railroad Pub in Lisbon Falls.

Hmmm.... Combining information various replies here, it seems that Coca-Cola bought Moxie from Cornicopia Beverage. I saw a bottle of Moxie in the local Cracker Barrel store/restaurant. It says "Bottled under the authority of Cornicopia Beverage Co., Bedord, NH, Bottled by Orca Beverage Incl., Mukilteo WA www.orcabeverage.com" So does that mean that Orca is using the corn syrup recipe? And why is this bottled under the authority of the old owner? Is it possible that this bottle is 4 years old?

[Graham Buxton]

So does that mean that Orca is using the corn syrup recipe?

The Orca website says:

For many, the brands of sodas we bottle are the brands that you may remember from the past. All are made with pure cane sugar and all come to you in long neck glass bottles with convenient twist off bottle caps (crowns).

I am pleased to hear that Orca is bottling Moxie with Cane Sugar.  That now makes two bottlers for Moxie (Orca and Catawissa) that do it right.  Let's keep supporting those local bottlers.

[Stephen Piwowarski]

Locally (to Alna) the Moxie bottled by Orca is available at the Sheepscot General Store & Farm (98 Townhouse Road, Whitefield) about 15 minutes from Sheepscot.
