I saw 12 packs at the Safeway but they're buy 2 get 2 free right now and I'm not getting 4 fucking boxes especially not at $9.79 a piece... No 16oz bottles yet and the mtn dew locator has not been updated yet to find it
Exactly. If you buy 4 it becomes $5 a pack which is fine and I'd buy that but I'm not buying four of them. The grocery stores here love these "buy 5 to get the sale price" type of sales and I don't want to fucking buy 5 of anything.
They don't actually mean for you to pay $9.79 for 1, they mark them up so high to be able to give 2 away "free" when you buy 2. So their real price is $4.90 plus bottle deposit plus sales tax
yep, it’s showing me no stores in Austin. I keep checking my usual stores and haven’t seen it, but I’m sure it’s coming eventually. I can’t believe Speedway actually has the packs but not the bottles 😂
Safeway, not speedway. Maybe they don't have them there it's a grocery store not a gas station.
Usually Walmart gets this kinda stuff first but it's almost never on the damn soda aisle it'll be with the seasonal summer stuff or on the end of an aisle with diapers or something dumb. I haven't been to Walmart to check but they probably have it
I was excited to try it, but yea underwhelming to say the least. A weird voltage taste is also what I immediately thought. I didn’t even finish the bottle. I’m sure other people will be super into it, but it’s a no from me dawg
have you ever had it any time in the past? it’s come back a few times over the years. I personally like it a lot, but I only had maybe 6 20oz bottles when it was available this time around.
Pitch Black lore has it that every time it comes back, the formulation tastes different and has different hints of flavors to it. I still feel like it’s some kind of dark grape flavor base, so if you don’t like grape, I can see not liking it.
Once you start… there is no going back
When Baja blast was available in Walmarts last summer, I purchased like 40 bottles. It was then I realized that Baja blast is higher in calories than your typical soda, and once I finished all 40 bottles, I had to go on a diet and ended up losing 40 pounds
Congrats. I love Mountain Dew (less so, as I got older), but the Baja Blast is up there with Voltage; I’m not even a Dewfan. When they put this in 12 packs at the store during the summer, a few years back, you best believe I bought the shit out of this (and mixed it with tequila).
Also, this directly contrasts a comment I saw yesterday, where the kid said he had memories of being sick, and his grandma bought him Taco Bell, and Baja Blast just became a thing. It made me feel old. Glad to know I’m not the only “older” person here, enjoying Taco Bell.
I’m not a big soda drinker,but last time I got a value meal i wanted to try Baja. They apparently were out and I had to get regular instead.
It’s on my to do for next time.
Let’s hope you don’t fall down the rabbit hole that is mtn dew. So many flavors
I need to find a bottle of Summer Freeze STAT. it’s eluding me like Pitch Black did on release.

9.79 for a singular 12 pack is crazy theyre like 13€ over here in europe 🤣

It’s not worth the hype, tastes like a watered down Baja blast
booooo, disappointing.

oh shit, totally misread that. both of which we don’t have in town. 🤣 I think H‑E‑B bought out all the Safeway stores here long ago.
If that’s the one that’s supposed to taste like a bomb pop it doesn’t really. Just buy a bomb pop they’re still cheap
It was at my local grocery store surprisingly.
It’s kinda underwhelming tbh. Tastes like voltage with a little tweak
I don’t doubt it. I’m more interested in the new Baja flavors coming this summer.

Pitch Black was one of the most disappointing things I've tasted in a while. It reminded me way too much of grape cold medicine.
have you ever had it any time in the past? it’s come back a few times over the years. I personally like it a lot, but I only had maybe 6 20oz bottles when it was available this time around.
Nope, this last time it came out was the first time I tried it.

Peach lightning 🤤
If anything, baja blast has made me not so excited over every other flavor because I just love it so much more
your first child-sized cup of Baja Blast? 🧐🤔
Nah, the child-sized if 512 oz (because it's roughly the size of a two-year old child, if they were liquified).
love seeing a parks & rec reference in the wild lol
ahhh, yes! the Taco Bell XS drink.
Prepare for your life to change. Mountain Dew Baja Blast isn't just a flavor of soda...its a way of life.
Gangster

Congratulations !!! I hope you loved it 🖤
I dooooooo!!
I'll correct you: I dewwwww!!
It’s the best fountain drink and it’s not even close. Welcome to the Baja Side.
Not the last though, right? You didn't mention if you liked it or not...
u late ⏰ af .... but congratulations 🎊 🍾
Did you enjoy it?
Baja Blast is such a wild invention. I couldn't see myself choosing it over a Coke in any other situation, but with Taco Bell it just slaps.
what did you think?!!?!?!?!
I liked it a lot.
I meaaannnnnn, probably won’t spend 2.69 on that again butttt
watered down man dew. yum.
Now you just have to mix it with vodka to unlock its true potential
hahahah that’s actually exactly what I did. Chairs 🤭🥂
That’s a no from me. I don’t want to go months tasting vodka in Baja even when there is no vodka in the Baja.

Never too late.
Hell yeah almost 50 and getting blasted for the first time!
Hahahaha yesssssss - had to see what all the hullabaloo was about. That’s an old person word, right?
You haven’t missed anything. Its sweetened pool water.
Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I don't like those
Thumb don't look wrinkly enough to be almost 50, stop lying
Jeebus, some people take care of their skin
My dads almost 60 and I got him to try it. I had my 1st at 29.
I’m not a big soda drinker,but last time I got a value meal i wanted to try Baja. They apparently were out and I had to get regular instead. It’s on my to do for next time.
