MOXIE

Moxie is a carbonated soft drink created by, of course, a pharmacist - Augustin Thompson in 1876 in Lowell, Massachusetts. It outsold Coca Cola until the 1920s.

The company name was the 'Moxie Nerve Food Company.'

The WW I army slang term 'moxie,' meaning the ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage' comes from this soft drink.
