“Moxie” isn’t in flavors. The Moxie company makes soda in various flavors, which I’ve never tried, and so can’t rate. But the simple Moxie comes in an orange can, and will have no flavor listed. If it’s in a 2 liter bottle, it looks like this: [http://www.rpi.edu/~vannem/pics/moxie.jpg](http://www.rpi.edu/~vannem/pics/moxie.jpg)

Another Vote for Pepsi Blue. It’s like a mixture of vomit and foot sweat.

Coca-Cola is pretty gross because its so thick, but not as bad as Pepsi Blue. I half-expect Coke to be chunky.

Every one mentioned so far sounds so horrible it must beat the one I had out of our cellar in 2000…  
I swallowed it and got a surprise:  
The bottom turned out to say best if used before XX-XX-1995.

Twung, rule #1: Never drink anything you find in the cellar, that you didn’t bottle yourself.

I’ve been to the World of Coca Cola in Atlanta, and _may_ have even tried “Beverly.” Is that the stuff that _everyone_ tries, spits out, then get their friends to drink? I remember kids running around saying to their friends, "Aw, man, this stuff is **awful!** You’ve _gotta_ try it!

Now that we’ve covered horrid soft drinks, follow me over to a new thread: The Best Sodas and Soft Drinks You Can (No Longer) Buy.

I cant believe no one mentioned New Coke- bleecch! Vile- even worse than reg Coke or it demon diet versions.

I also try not to drink sodas that fall into the “primary colors” group 😃 Pebsi Blue and so on…

Celery soda :eek:

But Tab and RC Cola are definitly in the top 10 worst sodas ever.

I just now realized that this thread is ancient… :o

Hmm… #2 musta been my guildmistress. 😃

Years ago, (Late 1970s or so) I had a run-in with banana soda. My recollection is along the lines of that pineapple soda - did the boss’ kid get a chemistry set last week?

The Canfields Diet Chocolate Fudge was good for the first half-second or so. Then the assorted aftertastes engaged and it became awful.
