I always wondered how "Moxie" tasted. That was one of the first soft drinks.

Does anyone else remember "fizzies"?

I remember "Fizzies", sure do! The root beer flavor was (IMHO) the BEST. :)

Now here's one for you: do you remember an instant milk shake mix called "Great Shakes"? A little triangular shaped envelope with malted milk and chocolate flavoring, it came with it's own shaker, you add a cup of milk, pop the lid on, shake-shake-shake, and presto-change-o, you had a really good (to me) milk shake! :)

MMMMMMMMMM!

I remember fizzies, I loved the root beer flavor! Necco wafers, banana flavored chewy wrapped candy (forerunner of Starbursts), chuckles, Slo-Pokes, Kits, Bit O Honey, Pixie Stix, Black Jack gum or teaberry gum, Root Beer Barrels, bubble gum cigars or candy cigarettes, Bit o Honey, wax teeth, the little wax bottles with liquid inside, Good N Plenty, Sweetarts, jawbreakers and many more!

I wonder if they sell any of this stuff in stores nowaday. My sister was hooked on the big Sweetart.

Vile, truly vile. I came across some in one of those supermarket-sized liquor stores a couple of years ago, and got a bottle because I'd seen a segment on Moxie on the History Channel. I really can't describe the taste; maybe something like used motor oil mixed with turpentine.
