Well, it's not too late to change your mind.
Moxie, a carbonated beverage, is considered to be the USA's first mass produced soft drink.
Created in 1876 by Dr. Augustin Thompson of Union, Maine, Moxie was first marketed as a patent medicine in Lowell, Massachusetts, under the product name "Moxie Nerve Food".[1] Moxie was said to cure ailments ranging from softening of the brain to "loss of manhood." In 1884, it was sold in carbonated form and merchandised as an invigorating drink, which claimed to endow the drinker with "spunk".[2] In the early phase of its life as a recreational soft drink, Moxie is said to have been kept handy by bartenders to give to customers who were too drunk to be given any more alcohol. This story may be apocryphal, however, inspired by Moxie's noted aftertaste, which many people find unpleasantly strong.
The name entered the American language, when a person was said to be "full of Moxie", meaning that the person was skillful, or spirited. Moxie became unique in that it was the name of a commercially produced soft drink, also included in dictionaries.
The popularity of Moxie produced popular advertising jingles, such as "Just Make It Moxie for Mine", and President Calvin Coolidge was known to have favored the drink. Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams endorsed Moxie. Author E.B. White, an adopted Mainer and noted Moxie fan, once wrote "Moxie contains gentian root, which is the path to the good life."

Quote:Sight Of Jesus Drinking Coke Prompts Lawsuit
Coke Doesn't Want That Type Of Promotion
POSTED: 9:31 pm EDT April 5, 2007
LOS ANGELES -- The company's theme song used to be "I'd like to buy the world a Coke," but apparently the offer doesn't apply to Jesus.
Coca-Cola Co. is suing producers of an Italian film titled " 7 Km da Gerusalemme" (Seven Kilometers From Jerusalem), that shows Jesus swigging Coke from a can in the desert. Coke said the scene would probably give the soda a bad image. A spokeswoman said, "We are not interested in this kind of product placement."
The film is set in present-day Israel.
Variety reported that the movie was due to be released April 6, Good Friday, but it has now been pulled by Mediafilm. The company had hoped to capitalize on the Easter spirit, Variety reported.
