Please take this opportunity to remember how lucky Penn State is to have James Franklin.
Awesome to see the Cherikee Red, but he forgot the Frozen Run Birch Beer

I’d call his presence here “fitting” rather than lucky, but I feel you.
It wasn’t until a couple months ago at Gahnt Iggle I noticed that it’s actually spelled Cherikee with an I.
Franklin is always a class act. WE ARE!
Good stuff by Franklin....Urbs covers for his coaches while they beat their wives...so let's not forget about that. 
No Frank's Black Cherry Wisniak.
No Middleswarth Potato Chips
No Goldenberg's Peanut Chews
No French fries and coleslaw inside a ham and cheese sandwich.
Sounds like he sent him a "Don't Care" package.
Lol!Good stuff by Franklin....Urbs covers for his coaches while they beat their wives...so let's not forget about that.
Or potato chips on a lebanon Bologna (not the sweet kind) sandwich with mustard (brown or yellow is acceptable).
What is the Moxie drink or the Cherokee Red drink? When I first heard what was in the package I thought the Cherokee Red was either snuff or chewing tobacco. LOL.
Moxie is a New England soft drink. It was big in Rhode Island when I lived up there years ago. I guess Joe Mo developed a taste for the stuff when he was at UConn?Or potato chips on a lebanon Bologna (not the sweet kind) sandwich with mustard (brown or yellow is acceptable).

Imagine a soft drink flavored with Angostura bitters. That's about the best way I can describe it. I like bitters in my Manhattans but when I tried a bottle of the stuff I thought it tasted like snake piss. You gotta have Moxie to drink the stuff, which is where the saying comes from.
It might occur to us that this is stuff JM likes. In the Jarhead Corps we call it pogey bait...

pogey bait
The Marines in China before WW II were issued candy (Baby Ruths, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) as part of their their ration supplements. At the time, sugar and other assorted sweets were rare commodities in China and much in demand by the Chinese, so the troops found the candy useful for barter in town.
The Chinese word for prostitute, roughly translated, is "pogey". Thus, Marines being Marines, candy became "Pogey Bait".
Platoon leaders should control the use of pogey-bait and non-issue food.

Which begs the question: How do you know what snake piss tastes like?
Give it a chance. It's surprisingly refreshing.
Moxie is actually made in Catawissa, PA. Has been for ages.

This takes me back to his first press conference, when JF used the pronunciation “ Pennsavaynya “.
Only people from PA say it this way.

How about that! I certainly remember Catawissa Bottling Co. The made all the traditional flavors in quart glass bottles with real bottle caps - no twist offs. Glad they are still around.
Turns out, Catawissa is one of only SIX bottlers in America making Moxie and has since 1945. God love them, somebody is drinking the stuff. But it's still snake piss.

My theory is that they just bottle up some of that good old fashion anthracite mine runoff and slap the moxie label on it.
It’s a dream of mine that when The University starts to negotiate another contract, that Franklin tells them that unless they make things right with The Paterno family, he’s going to market himself to other D1 programs. It’s a dream.
Not to hijack the thread (good stuff by CJF), but another regional soft drink (bottled in South Carolina) that is an acquired taste
When you go shopping for Moxie, do you McPick it off the shelves?

I LOVE Manhattans (except for the ice, cherry, cherry juice and bitters).
