In 2003 I discovered Moxie after watching a segment on the Food network. This “new” soda opened my eyes to a world of different sodas that I had never heard of before. This site catalogs my ratings of each of these sodas. If you find any interesting sodas that are not on my list, I would love to try them. If you are interested in trying any of the sodas that I have here, let me know and I'll try to find one for you.

Ramune Sangaria – 5


Ramune Sangaria – 5
Just an okay flavor - mostly like seltzer.  This has barely any sangria taste.  Still, it passes as a decent soda.  Thank you to Ben Farber for finding this one for me!


Wold Market Rasperry Soda – 7


Wold Market Rasperry Soda – 7 thumbs up
From Italy, this soda has a refreshing great taste that is not too powerful.  I could buy this several times and enjoy at a party if I wasn't passing out two dozen terrible sodas for my friends to sample.  This soda would be great with vanilla ice cream in a float.  Enjoy!


Caravelle Tamarind Juice - 2


Caravelle Tamarind Juice - 2 thumbs up
When you just can't get that Tamarind flavor that you've been looking for everywhere else, look no further.  It is very strong and I'm not a fan of Tamarind.  A fun and different soda, though!

Spring Mango Nectar – 4


Spring Mango Nectar – 4
Sour but not bad.  I'm not a big fan of mango and when I read "nectar" I got pessimistic.  Still, it could have been a lot worse.  Not really a soda, but fun enough.

Martian Soda Kumquat - 2.5

Martian Soda Kumquat - 2.5
I was looking forward to a good kumquat flavor but was disappointed.  Instead, I only got the flavor of citric acid.  Don't bother with this soda except for the novelty.
Thank you to the Clarks for bringing this!



Snooki Wild Cherry - 4

Snooki Wild Cherry - 4 thumbs up

I'm doing my best to ignore the innuendo.  The taste is a strong cherry taste, but that's not necessarily a good thing.  It's overpowering.  I don't recommend trying it except for the novelty value.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking this up!


Waialua Mango - 4

Waialua Mango - 4 thumbs up

Not as bad as lilikoi.  That said, it doesn't taste that great.  The flavor is a bit weak.


Martian Plum - 4

Martian Plum - 4 thumbs up
This soda is quite sugary and tangy.  It claims to be plum-flavored, which you don't see too often.  Still, the flavor wasn't great.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking this up!


Radioactive Mulberry - 4

Radioactive Mulberry - 4 thumbs up
This soda was very sugary with a hint of medicine.  Other than that it lacked personality outside of the name and artwork.  Fun for a novelty soda but not a great flavor.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking these up!


Martian Poop Pink - 4

Martian Poop Pink - 4 thumbs up

Martian Poop Pink claims to be marionberry flavored.  Really, I get the sense that they just jammed in whatever pink flavoring they could to make the novelty soda.  I love marionberry pie and this tastes nothing like it.  In fact it had very little flavor strength at all.  It is a fun color and soda, though.
Again, thank you to the Clarks for picking these up for me!

Kazouza Lime Pomegranate - 6

Kazouza Lime Pomegranate  - 6 thumbs up!
Nice and refreshing.  Not sugary and not a bad fruit flavor. The best part about the soda is the color!  Such a nice red.

Flathead Lake Gourmet Black Raspberry - 8

Montana's Flathead Lake Gourmet Black Raspberry is a very good black raspberry taste.  I would recommend getting this any time!

Avery's Raspberry Seltzer - 6

Avery's Raspberry Seltzer
Not bad from Avery's.  It's more seltzer than raspberry, which is both good and surprising.  Normally a soda company goes overboard on flavor. This does not.  Not too bad!

Waialua Lilikoi - 2

Fruity but I was not a fan of this at all. Thank you to Brian Donovan for finding one for me!





Squamscot Mistletoe Mist - 5

This soda is fruity but the flavor is just okay. I hope that it wasn't truly flavored with mistletoe, which I believe may be poison.

Taylor's Tonics Cranberry Dream - 4

Creative, but it tastes like they ruined an otherwise good cream soda with cranberry flavoring.

Avery's Dog Drool - 4

A great label and name on this soda but the taste did not match up. It also claimed to be orange-lemon in flavor but I'm not sure that was accurate either. It was fruity and just okay in flavor.


Ramune Lychee - 5

This was the best lychee drink I've ever had. Unfortunately I haven't had many and it wasn't amazing. I still love the concept of Ramune.


Party Pop - 3

Those kids on the label appear a little creepy, especially when put on a sangria-flavored drink. Not a great flavor, not a great soda.

Old Soaker Blueberry - 7

I picked this up in Old Town San Diego. It has a thicker blueberry taste that is not disappointing. I'm not typically a fan of artificial blueberry flavor, but they pulled this off. Great purple coloring on the soda as well. They should consider a clear bottle!
