Moxie is my favourite "fizzy drink" or soda... It's hard to find, though.
Interesting fact: It used to be more popular than coke, but during the War, they each reacted differently to sugar rationing. Moxie cut down on advertising to cut costs, while Coke upped their price a lot and advertised more. In the end, Coke crushed them.
Anyhow, now you can only find it in a few places. I gather most of New England has it, as well as parts of the South. I've heard some random places in South America also sell it.
It's hard to explain what Moxie tastes like. Somewhere in the family of Cola, Root Beer, and Dandelion and Burdock... Spice-based fizzy drinks. Personally, I prefer it to all of the above, though. Very unique, though maybe an acquired taste.
