Mountain Dew Baja Blast
Mountain Dew Baja Blast has got to be PepsiCo’s best kept secret. Released in August of 2004, it has only been available in Taco Bell restaurants. I only just heard of this stuff 2 WEEKS ago! Seriously, what rock have I been under?? Oh, that’s right. Motherhood, I forgot. We don’t get out much down here.
I decided to get Taco Bell for dinner, so I finally picked up a cup of this mysterious flavor. I have to say, I had high hopes. My last experiment with a new Pepsi product was less than thrilling, so surely this would be better. My husband is a big Mountain Dew fan, and while I’ll drink it in a pinch, it’s not my favorite. I thought maybe this would change things and unite us on the soda front- same brand, different flavor and all that.
I should have suspected something when I noticed this ‘tropical lime and pineapple flavored’ Dew was a bright blue color. I don’t know about you, but I’ve yet to meet a lime, pineapple, or any other fruit that was sky blue. Given that lime juice and Mountain Dew are both a yellowy green, I do believe someone in that department was on crack the day this product was conceived. One taste and that theory was confirmed. Imagine berry blue koolaid mixed with Mountain Dew and you’ll about have the idea. Words cannot describe how nasty this stuff is.
To continue the crack-headedness, they are actually about to launch Baja Blast at retailers nation-wide in the 20oz. bottles. I don’t need my crystal ball to know that this product is going to tank as fast as the Summer Mix will.

Some people like their whiskey.
Some people like their gin.
But a pretty girl and Mountain Dew.
Really gets under my skin.
Because I live in a Mountain Dew world.
My body runs on Mountain Dew pearls.
My mind floats in a Mountain Dew haze.
I look at the world.
Through a Mountain Dew haze.
A pretty girl and Mountain Dew.
Really gets under my skin.
