Moxie is a brand of carbonated beverage that is among the first mass-produced soft drinks in the United States. It was created around 1876 by Augustin Thompson as a patent medicine called “Moxie Nerve Food” and was produced in Lowell, Massachusetts. The sweet soda is similar to root beer, but with a bitter aftertaste.It is flavored with gentian root extract, an extremely bitter substance commonly used in herbal medicine.
Moxie was designated the official soft drink of Maine on May 10, 2005. It continues to be regionally popular today, particularly in New England states. It was previously produced by the Moxie Beverage Company of Bedford, New Hampshire, until Moxie was purchased by The Coca-Cola Company in 2018.
The name has become the word “moxie” in American English, a noun meaning energy, determination, and spunk.
Makes no sense. As someone mentioned yesterday, they can just buy tickets to the movie. No sneaking in required. Unless she needs to get money from her mother, but surely she could get it from somewhere else. Nope – makes no sense.

Not to bring logic to a “caper” plot but can’t Heart stream the two movies from Youtube?

I love how Heart and Dana have gone from rivals to frenemies to genuine friends.

They’ll probably ignore you, and this storyline will come to an abrupt end. That’s how writing works.

Dealing with older students never goes well. They will probably take them to the theater, then ditch them.
