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.

Tai Sun Honey Aloe with Pulps – 2


Tai Sun Honey Aloe with Pulps – 2 thumbs up

If you're going to be drinking Honey Aloe soda, it had better have the pulps.  With 70s pull tab and all, this soda promises to be "for nature - for beauty."  I found it to be best for the recycle bin.  The flavor was pretty terrible and unidentifiable in nature.  Then again I'm not usually mixing my aloe and honey.



VE Wong Winter Melon Drink - 4

VE Wong Winter Melon Drink - 4 thumbs up

Can this really be categorized as a soda?  I'm not sure.  It's in a nice can and all but it wasn't carbonated.  It was okay, surprisingly.  Not as bad as I thought it would be.  A decent mild melon taste.

The Noir


The Noir : 8/15/2004: A little presuptuous to be calling itself THE noir, but I suppose there aren't many other noirs. This tastes very much like sweetened iced tea. Not too bad.  

Taisun Pearl Pinapple


Taisun Pearl Pinapple : 9/4/2004: Great! Nice pinapple taste and something a little more - basil seed. Be sure to pour this soda out into a clear glass to have the full effect. The seeds are really neat. Almost like a boba drink. Not bad at all. Neat pull top with a message inside the pull - perhaps the brand name?

Cindy Yeh Lee Rating: 6     - It is decent, not too sweet. It takes awhile to get used to the pearls.

Taisun Egg Flavor Soybean Drink


Taisun Egg Flavor Soybean Drink : 9/7/2004: Who can resist a soda with a name like this? The picture is precious as well - an egg yolk falling into milk? egg whites? I may never know. There is no actual egg in the drink, just egg flavor. The color is a milky yellow-brown. It smells very similar to the popcorn easter bunnies that I ate as a kid - the candy eyes were the best part. The taste is not bad at all - almost like popcorn! No egg flavor. 7 thumbs up!

Hey-Song


Hey-Song : 8/14/2004: It smells worse than it tastes. This soda claims to be sasparilla, but it smells and tastes much more like black licorice. Not a great taste.

Cindy Yeh Lee Rating: 9     - This is one of the best sodas I have ever had. Maybe because I grew up drinking this or because it is not as sweet as other popular sodas

Grass Jelly Drink


Grass Jelly Drink : 8/15/2004: You sure can taste the cane sugar - in fact, it's like it is trying to cover up the taste of the grass jelly. Which really, isn't so bad - I'm not a fan of grass jelly. It tastes like sugary black licorice with a hint of something I can't identify.
