Life Imitates Doodles
The Moxie Horsemobile
#DoodlewashJune2025 Prompt: Car.
Did you know Moxie Soda, created in 1876 and still sold today (though I’ve never seen it) produced a fleet of Moxiecars aka Moxie Horsemobiles in 1918 to publicize their drink?
The first version had a live horse mounted on back, which was quickly replaced with a paper-mache, then an aluminum one.
By the way, this soda is where the word ‘moxie’, as in brave and courageous, came from.
(Thanks to Gene Languirand for introducing me to this car).
