They still have Moxie Soda in vending machines all over Maine. To me it has a bit of cinnamon in the taste.
I received the six cans I ordered today - from Maine.

I last lived in Maine about 11 years ago, knew about Moxie. There is a Moxie Festival in Lisbon, near Brunswick. Here is the info for this year http://moxiefestival.com/
That's nice.

Since it was first marketed as medicine, the bad taste was probably a selling point. 
Wasn't Coca Cola originally known for its so called medicinal properties also? Amazing what the snake oil salesmen of that time used to push on the consumers.

We had Moxie when I was a kid. Horrible taste. If my parents had given that to us first, we wouldn't have ever asked for a "tonic" again. (Massachusetts kids asked for "tonic", not soda) Next time I'm out east, I'll try it. I can still taste the nasty residue on my tongue. Yuck!
