I don't remember but the treadmarks on my head would suggest that that is indeed what happened.

Hello.

Years ago I worked for Pearl Brewing in San Antonio when they decided to introduce Moxie soft drink to Texas.
Since I was the number 1 parade driver I was assigned the task of driving a horsemobile.

Talk about unusual.
Yes, street legal but normally loaded on a large van and taken to whatever event.
Moxie was a flop in Texas but Pearl Brewing still to this day sponsors the Texas trail riders.

And yes, with that number of committees it really is that screwed up!

Hello.

The saying "He's got Moxie" means 'He's got balls!", and that is exactly what Moxie is, a sort of root beer with a pair. ;)
But the Texas people did not much care for it.
Now we have stuff like Red Bull, that is an acquired taste.
