Recently, I tried a soft drink called Moxie Original Elixir. I try to avoid anything with a large sugar content -- that covers most soft drinks in general -- but was assured by my hubby that if I had to drink any soda at all, it should be one that has
real cane sugar like Moxie -- not containing high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is the industry standard.
BUT
After checking on the
official Moxie website, I found out that normally, the soft drink DOES contain high fructose corn syrup. What I drank in a Park Slope, Brooklyn bar was the
nostalgic version of Moxie. Moxie Original Elixir uses cane sugar. Moxie "regular" lists high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar" as its second ingredient, after carbonated water.
