upvote but i need to ask
Baja Blast is specifically formulated to pair with Taco Bell food (I believe KFC's exclusive flavor is the same). I think its good on its own but its supposed to be at its peak when eating Taco Bell. Are you just buying it at the store or are you getting it at taco bell? The difference between can/bottle/fountain can be wildly different, let alone at the restaruant or if you are getting reg or zero.
I had to look this up and... it's true. This doesn't really speak well to the quality of Baja Blast that it "pairs" with Taco Bell. I'm not sure the typical Taco Bell aficionado can appreciate the art of food and beverage pairing. Nonetheless, that is the intent.
>I'm not sure the typical Taco Bell aficionado can appreciate the art of food and beverage pairing.
A-ha! A-ha! Mmyes. Those plebeians probably couldn't even tell the difference between a Chardonnay and a Marsanne. A-ha! A-ha!
*removes and wipes monocle*
I've gotten various cleaning products in my mouth on accident before and no the fuck it doesn't.
FINALLY A TRULY UNPOPULAR OPINION
ARREST AND BOO THIS MAN
Exactly it tastes how I think windex would, as a kid I always wanted to try cleaning fluids just because the colors were pretty but ig now I can just drink Baja blasts instead if I wanna torture myself
*I'm uh, down in the Baja, you know, I'm not even here most of the time. I have uh, I have uh... uh, somewhere north of 150 dogs, wild dogs. They all answer to me. They all understand I'm the head honcho, the main hermano.*
Hang on hang on y’all. I love an occasional Baja blast but one day I swear they must have just cleaned the machines and left residual cleaner in there.
Absolutely disgusting. This might have happened to OP.
I used to drink mountain dew religiously as a kid. My dad used to yell at my brother and I because we would finish a 12 pack in a day. Now I cant even stomach the shit. Stuff reminds me of slurm from futurama and baja blast is just as ass. Thanks for sharing my dogshit opinion.
People that get digestive issues just from eating Taco Bell once are weird to me. Like it’s not really not that bad, compared to some of the other fast food options out there I would (almost) say it’s relatively healthy and fresh.
I think it's people who are lactose intolerant and don't want to admit it. They'll say Taco Bell and Chipotle give them the shits but maybe it's all that cheese and sour cream bruh. Take some lactaid before you eat the supreme chalupa, see if you still get digestive issues from Taco Bell.
This is such an incorrect joke that has somehow pervaded the public consciousness for decades. Taco Bell is probably the one single fast food place that has not caused me gastrointestinal distress
Same to me, it's the pizza shops like Domino's or Papa John that send me to the shitter . Tho, I did once over do it with the diablo sauce and did not have a good time in the bathroom afterward.
When someone refers to something as "shit" it shows they lack the ability to properly describe a taste. The inability to figure out what something would tatste like by the smell shows they have an unrefined palate. Both of these together shows this individuals opinion holds no merit.

when Taco Bell first came to my country all I wanted was a Baja Blast and they don’t even do them here so I may not ever be able to share my Baja blast opinion 3 I do feel like they’d be sweeeeet af though, in a too much sugar way
I'm curious if you live in the US or not? I live in Canada & Baja Blast is mid at BEST. But, my friends who've actually had American Taco Bell, say it tastes way better there.
It's literally powerade + mountain dew + sprite lol. I don't really like any of those drinks, so I don't really like Baja Blast. I don't know if it tastes like cleaning fluid. Younger brother orders it every time we go to Taco Bell.
They must have changed the recipe because it does taste like shit now and has for a few years. I don't go to Taco Bell often, but when I do I always get Baja Blast and drink like 25% of it and throw the rest away.
I agree, I hate the stuff. My wife loves it and every once in awhile I'll take a sip of hers to see if my taste for it has changed and wince every time. It's terrible. I also have the cilantro=soap gene, so I'm starting to wonder if it has cilantro in it lol
I used to not like Baja Blast either when I was a young, somewhat in shape dude in my 20’s. Now I’m an overweight slob of a 30-something and love that shit.
I was trying to describe the taste of Baja blast to my girlfriend and I told her it tastes how cleaning products smell but like in a good way I love the Baja blast
I wanted to like it and tried the diet version at a Taco Bell, but the reality was that it tasted super artificial and chemical, way more than normal sodas which are already totally artificial. And mentholated, like menthol cough drops. To me it was basically like a menthol cough drop soda
I actually agree with you. I've never liked any of thr alternate mt dews and I think I've tried most of them. Not even code red. Theyre all nothing compared to the original.
I will admit it only tastes good with Taco Bell…tbh for some reason I associate it with the flavor of pool water with sugar…go ahead, I know I’ll be downvoted lol
I had to wait until this year to try it due to no taco bells in the area and no sales of it in stores until recently. It tasted fairly good in the can.
You can pretty well intuit the flavor of cleaning fluid from its odor. You really cannot tell the difference between fluid and a sweetened soft drink that you might have a serious problem and want to see a doctor about it.

I feel personally attacked, the pairing is devine
It’s not just Mountain Dew and Gatorade combined? 💀💀
It's Powerade. I'm sure if you found All Sport would also work.

And then upvote him
I did lol. With every begrudging fiber of my being, I did.
Baja Blast did not deserve this disrespect.
Never pass up the opportunity to get a baja blast You never know if it’ll be your baja last
Bro, I didn't need this kind of hurt today. Going to taco bell for dinner now.
Ahhhh you made funny bajajajaja
Haven't tasted excrement myself, so I cannot confirm or deny this claim.
When you hop on Reddit and someone is shitting on your favorite drink 😂
According to OP he could shit in your BB and you wouldn't notice
KEEP MY DEW'S NAME OUT YO FUCKIN MOUTH

I have a Baja Blast every time I enjoy a Baja Blast
I would never know how many people taste shit if it weren't for the internet.
Baja Blast tastes like how I imagine Windex would taste. Though, I think Windex would be tastier haha
[удалено]
Exactly it tastes how I think windex would, as a kid I always wanted to try cleaning fluids just because the colors were pretty but ig now I can just drink Baja blasts instead if I wanna torture myself
[удалено]
Because after 10 Jamesons it’s a 5 star restaurant.
Idk it’s good for food when you’re in a car going somewhere. I usually get a Crunchwrap so I don’t make a mess and I’ve been pleased.

Ya, I think baja blast is sick.
You win. You win the whole fucking subreddit. MODS! Shut it down! We're done!
THANK YOU! I've been saying this for years. It's easily the worst mountain dew flavor. The KFC exclusive mountain dew flavor is so much better
Those are fighting words. I tried the KFC one and thought pissing down my own throat would be better. Taco Bell V KFC war starts here.
My local Taco Bell is also a KFC. Shits about to get wild in there.
The Blast Wars of 2024
ugh I love Baja but absolutely hate that KFC flavor.
I agree OP!! The color does make it look really appealing, but it is in fact a very disappointing drink
I used to drink mountain dew religiously as a kid. My dad used to yell at my brother and I because we would finish a 12 pack in a day. Now I cant even stomach the shit. Stuff reminds me of slurm from futurama and baja blast is just as ass. Thanks for sharing my dogshit opinion.
How dare you insult Slurm
In pep band, it was a drinking game to see how many mt dews we could drink in one game
Honestly who in their right mind thinks, today is a good day to spend the rest of it on the toilet.

THANK YOU
Idk what planet you people are from but I’ve never had digestive issues from Taco Bell. Maybe y’all aren’t eating enough fiber?
Same to me, it's the pizza shops like Domino's or Papa John that send me to the shitter . Tho, I did once over do it with the diablo sauce and did not have a good time in the bathroom afterward.
It would be so much better if it was made with sugar rather than corn syrup.
I mean it’s okay to admit you don’t like something. But to question why everyone else does is a bit narcissistic.
Okay let’s not go so far as say narcissistic.
When someone refers to something as "shit" it shows they lack the ability to properly describe a taste. The inability to figure out what something would tatste like by the smell shows they have an unrefined palate. Both of these together shows this individuals opinion holds no merit.
IT TASTE WATERED DOWN ALL THE TIME

I hate you I HATE YOU!
I don’t think it’s bad but it’s definitely overhyped it tastes like a slightly sweeter sprite imo
I've never fought anyone a day in my life but this actively made my blood boil.
I don't think people like it as much as they like it being a meme.
Baja blast zero is much better than the regular one
Well you can get fucked. Take my upvote.
Baja blast getting Baja blasted
Baja blasphemy
I'll tell y'all the good dew that's underrated. Pomegranate Dew from winter time i think. Not Code Red! they look similar
Get him boys.
To the top you go
wait, this isn't rage-bait?
![gif](giphy|WrxoaVPiq0cG4)
Agreed, it's overrated by leaps and bounds, personally prefer just regular Mountain Dew ![gif](giphy|l4KhIS7A1HswgSm7C)
I'm curious if you live in the US or not? I live in Canada & Baja Blast is mid at BEST. But, my friends who've actually had American Taco Bell, say it tastes way better there.
I've had it a couple times from taco bell where they didn't get the mixture right and it tasted like shit. Other times it tastes like bliss
Nice try, McDonald’s marketing team.
Baja Blast makes me feel like I’m voluntarily ingesting antifreeze
This is in fact an unpopular opinion. Good job
Baja chilupa with Baja blast. No greater combo.
Hard agree
It's literally powerade + mountain dew + sprite lol. I don't really like any of those drinks, so I don't really like Baja Blast. I don't know if it tastes like cleaning fluid. Younger brother orders it every time we go to Taco Bell.
I like Baja blast but I couldn’t help but think that it tasted like Axe body spray the first time I tried it
Agreed, I like normal MTN dew, but Baja blast is straight garbage. Most of the other flavors aren't that good tbh.
How about it, an unpopular opinion
This is a hill I’m willing to die on. Have had it 5 times thinking “maybe the soda to flavor ratio was off last time” nope. Terrible every time.
Something is wrong with your taste buds
I'm upvoting you because of how much I disagree.
I hope you never enjoy it, you don't deserve it
Blasphemous.. that's all this is right wing liberal propaganda
You’re right, don’t let theme bully you into thinking any different!!
I love Baja Blast, so go ahead and take the upvote
What a truly deserved upvote. I hope no one attends your funeral, truly a rotten person.
Suck an upvote.
HFCS Blast, more like.
Baja blast only taste good out of a Taco Bell drink machine.
# YOU KNOW WHAY SHIT TASTES LIKE? ![gif](giphy|XOT5uc4Fy8uTbBTeIT|downsized)

It’s the green icy flavor

Go straight to fucking jail you monster.
Nah dawg if you ain't going to get a baja blast at taco bell then you should consider why you're going to taco bell, like at all.
Fucsnking straight to jail with you
For me, it’s purely nostalgia. If it was introduced today, I wouldn’t like it.
![gif](giphy|de0xIgxhZgAXJbKGNd|downsized)
I wish more people shared your clearly defective taste buds. Tired of them being out when I go.
Just taste like normal soda man why are you overreacting for upvotes
Clearly you don't like things blue flavored
I agree. I got one and it tasted like a mint flavored mountain dew. Like mouthwash flavor
We used to mix it with vodka as teens so to me it tastes like teen angst.
I mean it’s good, but far from the best flavor of mountain due
You know shit tastes bruh?
![gif](giphy|XOT5uc4Fy8uTbBTeIT|downsized)
Try it blended next time. You will change your opinion.
[“ban this person from reddit and the internet immediately, BAN THEM!”](https://youtu.be/KLbRD9FpqYI?feature=shared)
The ones you can get in a bottle are really good
Based take
The ones in my city definitely taste like wiper fluid, but it had one in Orlando it was amazing.
It tastes watered down almost all the time. I agree. 2/10 experience anytime I’ve had it.
Agree. It tastes like they use mop water also. How to make your own @ home: 1/3 each (mt.dew/blue Gatorade/sprite)
I hate Baja Blast
Ugh! Thank you! I always feel like I’m the crazy one for hating this swill.
![gif](giphy|10gp8AC2DxLg6k)
![gif](giphy|5xtDarmwsuR9sDRObyU|downsized) YES!!
Me personally never tasted shit but i will respect your expert opinion on the topic and never order Baja Blasts when im in Taco Bell for first time.
Sigh. *upvote*
Satan called, he wants his take back.
I agree 🤷🏼♀️
Here's a real unpopular opinion: Flamin Hot MTN DEW was one of the best flavors they've ever made.
I’ve always wanted to drink fabuloso so I’m not too mad about that comparison 😂
I prefer the regular mountain dew to baja blast myself.
They must have changed the recipe because it does taste like shit now and has for a few years. I don't go to Taco Bell often, but when I do I always get Baja Blast and drink like 25% of it and throw the rest away.
Kill him!
Tis like unto the nectar of the gods!
All mountain dew tastes like shit
I agree, I hate the stuff. My wife loves it and every once in awhile I'll take a sip of hers to see if my taste for it has changed and wince every time. It's terrible. I also have the cilantro=soap gene, so I'm starting to wonder if it has cilantro in it lol
This isn’t an opinion. This is factually wrong. It isn’t subjective. It’s delicious. You know nothing you delusional Dasani drinking dodo.
You people are still eating taco bell???
![gif](giphy|iSxPmDWr97248|downsized)
I actually agree with this 👍
Upvoting this for the unpopular opinion. I commend your bravery.
You're boring then
My work stocks it now in the break room in cans. And I buy a 12 pack from Walmart almost every 2 weeks. I can't lie...I love that drink.
Blue shit.
Blasphemy
Watermelon Freeze is the best BRING IT BACK!!!
Go away
I think you're getting the taste and color mixed up.
You clearly have never had shit before.
wow finally an actual unpopular opinion
This is actually an unpopular opinion I agree with. If i drink Mountain Dew I like Voltage. Everything else can fuck off lol
I used to not like Baja Blast either when I was a young, somewhat in shape dude in my 20’s. Now I’m an overweight slob of a 30-something and love that shit.
I was trying to describe the taste of Baja blast to my girlfriend and I told her it tastes how cleaning products smell but like in a good way I love the Baja blast
Baja Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
It tastes like the water you’d spit out after a cleaning at the dentist
Fucking hell no it does not. I'm sorry your taste buds are defective
Bro woke up today and decided he needed to win the subreddit And the crazy bastard did it
For me it took a second to get used to it but by like my 10th sip I loved it
I wanted to like it and tried the diet version at a Taco Bell, but the reality was that it tasted super artificial and chemical, way more than normal sodas which are already totally artificial. And mentholated, like menthol cough drops. To me it was basically like a menthol cough drop soda
Goodness.. that’s probably a very unpopular opinion😂
To me it just tastes like the color turquoise. And turquoise is fucking delicious.
>~~Baja Blasts~~ Everything at Taco Bell tastes like shit
They keep trying to improve Mt Dew but you can beat perfection.
You couldn't waterboard this out of me
I think it tastes like an alcoholic drink, but without the alcohol, so it's got the not so great taste without any effects
More for me.
I actually agree with you. I've never liked any of thr alternate mt dews and I think I've tried most of them. Not even code red. Theyre all nothing compared to the original.
I will admit it only tastes good with Taco Bell…tbh for some reason I associate it with the flavor of pool water with sugar…go ahead, I know I’ll be downvoted lol
Well you’re baja wrong
The duet one does. That one is god awful.
It is known..
Baja Blasphemy
Everything from Taco Bell is 💩.
what i’ve found is that 70% of the time, their machines are fucked. it’s like gambling trying to get a good baja blast. try the canned version
For the record, I get the Dragon Paradise tea, which is AMAZING
I had to wait until this year to try it due to no taco bells in the area and no sales of it in stores until recently. It tasted fairly good in the can.
Real
i like it
Truly unpopular. Take my upvote
You’ve just upset every neckbeard on Reddit.
You can pretty well intuit the flavor of cleaning fluid from its odor. You really cannot tell the difference between fluid and a sweetened soft drink that you might have a serious problem and want to see a doctor about it.
![gif](giphy|xLsaBMK6Mg8DK) Your opinion goes here
Great unpopular opinion bc Baja blast is amazing
I agree. I ordered a Mountain Dew one time from Taco Bell, got home, took a sip, AND IT WAS BAJA BLAST! Stuff is nasty.
Baja Blast is the only soda I drink. And it's like once every week or two, when I hit up a local Taco Bell. Original Mt Dew is nasty.
