Anyone Remember Hoffman Soda

[Alk8944]

I grew up in NYC in the '40s and '50s and we had a "Seltzer Man" who delivered seltzer in the old siphon bottles as well as quart bottles of Hoffman sodas right to our door. I still remember the old advertising jingle:

"You don't have to go to university
To know what you should do when you are thirsity.
Drink Hoffman's, call for Hoffman's
Hoffman's is the finest when you're thirsity."

Tough to get the Spell Checker to ignore "thirsity".

Actually, just ignore the red underline and it will show in the post however you typed it. OR right click on the red line then click on "add to dictionary" in the menu and your computer will accept the incorrect spelling from then on! This only affects your computer!

Anyone else remember a blue cream soda? I can’t remember who bottled it but it looked exactly like windshield washer fluid.

My wife, being from Maine, named our current dog Moxie. I've not had one.

It has been a while since I had a Moxie. Kinda bitter.

The inventor claimed it is especially effective against "softening of the brain".

I should stock up.

Cant remember all the names but if you make a trip to Cracker Barrel they have a lot of those named drinks.
