Re: Post of the Month (Sept. '05)
I have something, in terms of non-alcoholic beverages, that I'm betting few in HI have had, that might make for a funky kind of fun prize (Yes, I did say that about Cheerwine). How about a couple bottles of Moxie? The "national" soft drink of the state of Maine. About the only people, in my opinion, who can tolerate that drink are native Down-Easters; anybody else (I'm convinced you have to be from Maine to really like it) is just faking it. Kind of like giving a mainlander a really strong and potent white li hing mui plum for the first time, watching their face wrinkle up as he/she tries to eat it (not savor it) and say, "Oh yeah..this is good!"
Moxie, BTW, is a soda flavored with gentian root, and it has a taste that you can not acquire a liking for if you're not from Maine, no matter how hard you try!
Scriv, I say: "Let's go for it". Let's give this post of the month idea a chance.
