Is it gone already?

Just yesterday, they had a huge display at the entrance of my local Wal-Mart, and when I went today (to pick up unrelated stuff), the display was gone. I asked the lady at the cash register, and she said that she didn't know (but that people were really snapping it up). She told me to ask customer service if they had merely moved the display to another location in the store....but I didn't and just left.

a pepsi vendor told me it's really limited and not to expect it everywhere or to last all summer.

Same story here, full stack of pepsi products near entrance on monday. By Wednesday, only Baja Blast was gone. The thirst guys...

I had this last night. It tastes terrible. Oh god. It was like drinking something after you just brushed your teeth.

Or, How To Make Money 101 - Remind people that Baja Blast is available, and is delicious, thus convincing them to visit Taco Bell. Where they will then also buy a bunch of cheap Mexican food with huge profit margins.

That's weird cause with Taco Bell food, it's godly.

I asked my American Food Dealer here in Europe if they could import me some Baja Blast cans but unfortunately they are no longer allowed to import Mountain Dew Products to Europe.

Due to EU regulations we have been requested to no longer sell or promote MTN-branded Mountain Dew and, as a responsible company, we have complied fully and with immediate effect.

 

[Jest Chillin]

I had one a couple of days ago and the bottle version tasted sweeter and less carbonated than what I've had at Taco Bell, so I assume it's that the fountain version is mixed differently than the bottled version.

 

[okayfrog]

Saw some bottles and cases at a 7/11 near me. Thought about it, but decided not to buy 'em. Baja Blast is a Taco Bell treat, and I wish to keep it that way... though iunno, maybe I'll buy a bottle tonight, just for fun.

 

[The Real Abed]

Considering how many of these I drank, plus the two in my desk right now, can we change this to CONFIRMED?

Yeah. Title change please!

also, I still prefer the fountain version of any soda.

Yeah. I agree. There's something just off about the bottled stuff. I wouldn't have noticed it as much if I hadn't literally had the real thing just a few days before the bottle.

It's still good though. Just not exactly the same.

 

[Fjordson]

It's godly on its own also.

I drank the last can of the 12 pack l bought last weekend. Tempted to get another one.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I never had this before yesterday because fuck Taco Bell. Worth the wait, it's pretty damn good.

You know what? Now that I think about it, so do I!

Wal Mart doesn't have specific shelf space for it. It ends up where-ever they have free space for their rotated stock. So sometimes it's in the front, sometimes in an endcap, sometimes in the back

Its with all the other vendor products brah. Features are up to manager's discretion.

I've been to seven of the Walmarts in our area, none of them have it in dedicated space. Could be a regional thing.

 

[bjork]

We still have an entire stack of 12-packs at my work, can't seem to give it away.

I would buy the entire stack if it was Typhoon. The people who voted for that other bullshit should have to drink 30 year-old cans of Tab.

Yep. That was such bullshit. I remember when Typhoon came back three years ago. Goddam. I think it needs to come back, I would take it as a Taco Bell exclusive. Goddam it was so good. I have no idea how Whiteout won.....

 

[perfectchaos007]

Went back to Wal-Mart in hopes of picking up some more, but they're all out. Screw you Pepsi Co!

Glass bottles >> Fountain > Plastic bottles >>>>>>>>> Cans

They're testing a market.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I bought two 20oz. bottles at 7-11 (San Francisco) and have spotted 12-pack boxes at Safeway as well.

I think it's finally spread out of Walmart, at least in the Bay Area.

 

[sweetvar26]

I tried this couple of weeks ago and for some reason, not a fan of it. I just did not like the taste.

18 oz of water will increase your metabolism by 30%.

Not a big pop drinker.

Does this stack if I drink multiple 18oz?

 

[tm24]

Finally saw some at various AMPM in the Socal region. Got one. Was delicious

 

[malfcn]

Limited releases always chaps me. Should be around forever.

 

[kulapik]

I asked my American Food Dealer here in Europe if they could import me some Baja Blast cans but unfortunately they are no longer allowed to import Mountain Dew Products to Europe.

I asked mine and they insisted that it was a Taco Bell exclusive and they couldn't serve it lol Told them about the limited edition, and waiting for response

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Typhoon slushie is selling well at Taco Bell. Bring in ghe fountain drink, Sangria MTN Dew hasn't proven itself in sales....

 

[injurai]

Limited releases always chaps me. Should be around forever.

Yeah... I didn't realize it was limited edition until just yesterday when I had one at a friends house. Disappointing, hopefully it at least becomes an annual thing.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Still can't find any in nyc or surrounding suburbs wtf

 

[Piano]

Does this stack if I drink multiple 18oz?

Yeah they haven't nerfed it yet.

 

[MIMIC]

This is a super late post, but (at least for my store) they just relocated the cans to a different part of the store. There were a lot left. They're even selling larger cans.

 

[jbug617]

Went to the grocery store yesterday and they were all out of Baja Blast. Hope it's not gone for the Summer already

 

[Schattenjäger]

Had a few 20 oz bottles - good stuff but 280 calories and 72 g of carbs is just nuts

 

[Banjotanooki]

UPDATE: Local Publix near my house still has cases of them!

 

[perfectchaos007]

I have checked 3 walmarts over the past week and none of them have 12 packs of Baja blast any more.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Is it me or does it taste like they nerfed the store release? Gotta hit up Taco Bell for dat premium Blast.

 

[jstevenson]

just the standard difference between fountain soda and bottled.

 

[Spectromixer]

I have one more 12 pack left.

Spoiler

I bought three last month :\

 

[Khezu]

I bought a case of this, never had it before since I don't go to taco bell.

Didn't care for it.

It's kinda hard to explain, I don't think it tasted bad per say, but I found it hard to drink.
I could never finish a can. The first few sips were alright, but then I kinda had to start forcing myself to drink the rest.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

We out.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Maybe it'll last longer next year.

 

[Messi]

Please tell me this is not happening. I'm coming over in a week. Damn.

 

[big ander]

I still see a lot of 20 fl oz bottles in gas stations and 7-11.

 

[gdt]

Im down to my last can of this. Gonna drink it with a little corn bread.

 

[B.K.]

Looks like it's back. I was in a convenience store today and they had 20oz. bottles of Baja Blast again.
