Moxie soda store clerk from Lisbon Falls, Maine

[MckeesportRoseGarden]

We loved Chucks Convenience Store as kids. Chuck was the most generous store owner ever! He gave and gave and gave to everyone. Until one night some punk last named Quirion or similar killed him! I think the punk used a soup can and Chuck was attacked in his own basement. He sold my family a $500 winning lottery ticket and done a lot, he cared about everyone!

[MckeesportRoseGarden]

This was a store as kids we always went to! We bought from him and the other business partner. They had many different flavored of ice cream with large scoops. The Chinese penny gum was a favorite with the inserts. They would read things such as, "he who laughs last laughs best!" lol

[jaesbow]

Frank Anicetti and Kennebec Fruit are both integral parts of Stephen King's newest book "11/22/63" The hero has a rootbeer at this store in 1958

[JanieHoffa]

@jaesbow Shut up! That is so cool. Will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

[AJtheory]

Pepto flavored root beer...I like it!

[AJtheory]

I just tried a bottle today....I liked it....you know that  Fleer bubble gum you used to get at Halloween, that tasted like Pepto Bismol ? Well, that's what Movie tastes like to me...like

[sweetgeorgia0329]

HEY FRANK :)) I SURE MISS YOU...LEFT MAINE IN 1974 WHEN I JOINED THE AIR FORCE BUT REMEMBER STOPPING IN KENNEBEC FRUIT ON THE CORNER FOR THE BEST HOME MADE ROOT BEER TO BRING HOME AND ALSO SITTING AT THE COUNTER FOR A ROOT BEER FLOAT THAT IS OUTTA THIS WORLD. I WASN'T EVEN SURE THIS STORE WAS STILL THERE ON THE CORNER SINCE IT'S BEEN OVER 35 YEARS THE LAST TIME I STEPPED FOOT IN THERE..WOW..I'M ALL SMILES NOW... JUST HAD A FRIEND BRING ME A CASE OF MOXIE HERE IN TENNESSEE. THE ONLY SODA I DRINK

[Kelso016]

I grew up in Lisbon, and I've been drinking Moxie since I was a child. Frank is one of the nicest guys I know. :) I remember going to his store to get penny candy, like Swedish fish or sour patch kids.

[lliam207]

LISBON FALLLZ PROJECTSSS BITCH!!!!!!!! MOXIE MADE MOXIE PAID!!!!!

[adolfoliverpubes]

@lliam207 this is not the place...you are correct sir.

[martinmaniad35]

I agree! I came from Oxford, Maine, and i remember growing up, it was Moxie and Italian sandwiches! wicked good stuff!

[Brittany91098]

I love Lisbon falls(:

[tjmobileaudio]

I stopped in Lisbon Falls and saw this guy last week! Bought some souvenirs at his shop, then bought two 12-packs of Moxie at Wal-Mart to bring home. Wish I could have fit more in my suitcases, haha!

[unclek1980]

Frank!  A legend.

[HH2charger]

MOXIE IS AWESOME!!! I used to drink it as a little kid, my pop pop loved it. And when i was up in maine this past summer I found it and I shoulda brought a lot more home with me!!!!

[WakingLife4444]

This guy is brutal and I need to buy a moxie ice cream off him, probably tomorrow. Moxie is the shit yo :D

[Phlemberg]

It's amazing that even though Moxie wasn't made in Lisbon, because strangely everyone loved it (very uncommon) they all joined to have Moxie Fest. I love Moxie.

[marinagipps]

This guy should officiate marriages in the store and everybody should toast with Moxie! He belongs in a film...brilliant...

[SBshocake]

lol i got half way down the bottle and it still tasted horrible

[inkey2]

not easy to find moxie these days but I think it is still made. I used to buy some every so often just to remind myself why I hate it

[beatlescreek86]

@inkey2 lol, it's sold in almost every store in Lisbon and in surrounding towns. Can't go anywhere without seeing it. So yes, it is still made. Unless someone has a stash somewhere, and we Lisbonites are reaping the benefits! ;-)

[Cooeeoh7]

I tried this on vacation but never made it to the third sip. Next time I won't give up so quickly.

[angeldark737]

his name is frank anicetti, and I have known him since I was a little girl, he used to call me young fella and I would get sooo mad. I still go to see him in lisbon falls ME every year, when I go to maine for vacation!

[alexi626]

Thumbs up for Moxie! Loved it from the first sip.

[katiekaos22]

REAL WOMEN DRINK MOXIE!!!! MOXIE FEST 2010 hahaha

[Piddlepack]

Good old Frank Anicetti, (spelling ??) man I miss that place. I still love Moxie, hunt for it here in NC. Good thing my fam in LF sends it. I have my two shirts in the closet.

[camramm13]

btw his name is frank,..

[respectrock57]

i loooove moxie its wicked good im from maine and they serve it all the time at pizza places and fairs

[abbyrose93]

I love Moxie <333

[eddamino]

I'm with you Jeninmaine. I just wish he had actual store hours. My mother in law is looking for a shirt and I can never seem to get there when he's there.

[MrMattsMagic]

mmmmmm so good im drinking one right now

[luno44]

I love how people's first taste isn't so bad, but 2 seconds later the after flavor kicks in and they wanna barf.

[hornjunkie]

i agree have a place i buy it from in southern calif called GALCOS in glass bottles nothing else like it you will hate it or love it no middle ground

[LOLitsJono]

Oh shit, it's Danny DeVito!

[musicloverlinzi]

when i tasted moxie i pooped my pants because it was so gross

[CBnTT0822]

his name is Mr. Anniseti..not sure how to spell it

[GuitarGeek469]

Moxie is the best. The world needs to take this guys advice, he's totally rite.

[jeninmaine]

Frank is one kooky guy. I wish he'd renovate his shop and start using it for more than Moxie memorabilia storage, there's that beautiful preserved soda fountain there.

[LoZLinkMaster101]

I know the guy and I even know his name too.

[Viperr101]

Willy Wonka?

[LoZLinkMaster101]

I guss you can say that.

[Patsa2001]

AMEN

[viggycat]

I used to live in Topsham and travel to Lisbon Falls on my way to Lewiston. I couldn't go by the Kennebec Fruit Co with out stopping. Moxie icecream was the best. I think my grandparents had me try Moxie soda, and I thought is tasted like cough syrup, but I was a weird kid and loved strange tasting things. Ayah, Frank is a wicked cool guy to talk to.

[RRDVRfan]

I've made my own Moxie float. That shit will get you hooked.

[drmcbean]

Frank's the best! He gave me this same speech more than 20 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since.

[rumspringaa]

I WILL BE THERE ASAP.

[mara235]

Moxie takes ..well - a lotta moxie to like it , if ya catch my drift - some strongsass stuff. and this guy Frank's store in Lisbon - the dust alone in it would put the fear of God in you - so get the Moxie - before you drink it.

[9shinwa]

Moxie is my favorite soda. I remember as a child, I thought it was gross, but really, if you drink it a few more times, it's great. I can attest to that.

And I've met this man, as I live in Lisbon.

[lehman]

On my trip to go rafting in Maine, we stopped at a gas station and I saw moxie and remembered hearing about it on the food network, I decided to buy some. I drank the whole thing, it was the worst soda ever... Then our rafting guide told us that Moxie waste better with milk, so I tried that and it was twice as bad. I think its a conspiracy between the Moxie people and the milk producers in order to sell twice the amount of each to tourists.

[lulusvoboda]

Ahh, Frank and his famous frozen fruited flavors. I grew up in Topsham and we used to drive up to Lisbon every once in a while to go to his store. Man, did I miss Moxie when I lived out west! Glad I'm back!

[Viperr101]

Im on the 6th sip...still tastes like shit :)

[syngar99]

you strike me as the moxie of people then

[camparianbliss]

This is the most accurate explanation of why Moxie is great... that glorious third sip.

[djidentity]

There are a few places on ebay that ship moxie. Ive known frank since I was about ten and lived right off Main street where Kennebec's is.

[acceberwoods]

Does anyone know any stores that would send moxie to nevada? All my relatives used to live in Gardiner, they used to send some or bring it. havent had any for 10 years now!

[Suggirl]

i ♥ moxie icecream. i live in lisbon falls& every year i always have moxie 4 moxie day.

[dramaqueen04252]

aww Frank is awesome! i lived in Lisbon Falls for about 10 years, always come back for school vacations. i remember going down there to get ice cream and penny candy. every time me and my sis would walk in the door he would greet us as "sir" and we would reply with "ma'am" it was a little joke we had. but all that time in lisbon i still dont like Moxie... but i love the festivals!! and they are just around the corner!! yay

[DevSodDribble]

Too bad the shit tastes like cough medicine.

[yellville]

He's so right. I must meet this man.

This wasn't taken at Moxie Falls, the white water rafting place, was it? I don't remember what town it was in, but the shirts behind the counter look a lot like the shirts they sell in the gift store.

[Piddlepack]

Thats Frank Aniccetti (spelled wrong) his Dad owned the store and he took it over after he passed away. I grew up in Lisbon Falls and remember walking down to the store to get penny candy. I've been away 12 years now and I still love Moxie...it's in the blood.

[todd10112]

lol i live here and know that man lol andyes people call him the moxie guy and he makes the best moxie ice cream eva

[AdarSlayer]

moxie is the best drink in the world!

[JanieHoffa]

Your syntax prowess stands unparalleled.

[Zealant]

He's saying you can't speak English for shit. He was using sarcasm. Your responses make it all the more hilarious.

[RevSpike]

it's called sarcasm.

[arm1207]

@sagetechdeck dude fuck you hes an awesome guy

[johnnny1965]

im having a can right now!!!!

[akinoyeshua]

hahah LOL AT THE 00:11 LOOK AT HIS LEFT HAND HAHAH HE HAS SOME MONEY IN IT LOL

THEY PAID HIM TO RANT

[cateforgotten]

I grew up going to 'The Moxie Store' (Otherwise properly named Kennebec's Fruit Company) As a little girl I went and bought penny candy.

He used to call me and my friends "Young men" or "Little Boys" to tease us. Now when I go back to visit my mom in Lisbon Falls I take my sons in there to buy penny candy and just like old times, he calls them "little girls" Bait which my son always falls for.

Wonderful Wonderful man, and Moxie nor the Town of Lisbon would be the same without him.

[brianskatesbath]

i live in maine!!!

[depro9]

WICKED GOOD STUFF!!

[Mikeyboy609]

I was in Maine this summer for vacation and had Moxie for the first time... All I can say is that "it is WICKED GOOD" I wish we had moxie down here in jersey. :(

[lachcik5084]

moxie doesnt taste soo good :/

im from the falls and i used to live next to frank, nice neighbor. didnt know he'll ever be on youtube thou

[koagz]

My great great grandfather invented Moxie

[chiquitobonito]

i visited this guy in lisbon falls on vacation in maine.

yesssssssssss

[moodyzeppelin12]

you jerks... that's lisbon falls, not brunswick. learn your maine geography.

[alli518]

wow, maybe read the other comments next time before posting. For someone visiting, it'd be easy to foget which town you were in. I know Frank certainly doesn't mind.

[JanieHoffa]

Dang Moody, sorry about that. I guess we did drive for awhile. But I was STAYING in Brunswick, does that count?

[moodyzeppelin12]

i guess so... i wasn't really angry... it was online sarcasm sorta, which rarely comes across, so i should probably just avoid it.

[moxie24681]

moxie24681  hi i like moxie

[HoboHike]

Frank is A Number One! I've met him twice and he knows soooooo much about Moxie. Great guy! the best soda!

[jesstr808]

He's right on the money!

[alli518]

Hi, this guy is my uncle!! Sweet. His name is Frank Anicetti Jr. and you filmed him at Kennebec's Fruit Company in lisbon falls. I definitely wasn't expecting to find him on youtube....

[JanieHoffa]

Awesome! He was the nicest man ever! I just filmed him with my little digital camera then tried a Moxie for the first time. :) The day after Thanksgiving I think. Thanks, alli518!

[lachcik5084]

u should come here in july...we got the moxie fest parade and shit

[geniusofthecrowd]

awesome. i've never had moxie but that guy just sold me on it!
