Moxie was a running joke in Mad Magazine for years, which is where I heard of it and where suspect the Lampoon guys picked it up. I find it rather vile, with a metallic taste (but not as bad as Irn Bru.)
It's "Inka Kola". Peruvian place Lin and I went to a couple months ago in San Mateo had it, but since I had had it before and share your opinion I did not bother. (It's not just the taste, it's the strange yellow color. I think it would glow in UV light.)
Places around here that have pretty good selections of obscure soft drinks are the Willows Market just around the corner, and Beverages&More stores. There's also a candy and strange soda store on University Avenue in Palo Alto, but their prices are truly heinous, $4/bottle and up.
