Following consumer requests, PepsiCo brought back its Mtn Dew Baja Blast variety in bottles and cans and added another new flavor to its Mtn Dew team: Mtn Dew Sangrita Blast. Like Mtn Dew Baja Blast, citrus-punch-flavored Mtn Dew Sangrita Blast made its debut at Taco Bell but now, for the first time, is expanding into bottles and cans for a limited time this spring and summer, while supplies last. Afterward, consumers still can purchase the drink at Taco Bell, the brand says.
Tropical-lime flavored Mtn Dew Baja Blast is the second-largest and fastest-growing beverage sold at Taco Bell and has generated more than $1 billion in retail sales since its introduction.
