After 20 years of delighting customers, Taco Bell is celebrating its iconic Baja Blast with special freebies and a new turquoise-colored treat. Since its debut in 2004, the Mountain Dew Baja Blast, exclusively created for Taco Bell, has become a beloved addition to many orders with its tropical lime flavor.
Taco Bell’s “Bajaversary”
“We’re extremely proud of the synonymous, iconic duo Taco Bell and BAJA BLAST have become,” said Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco Bell. “We’re celebrating this incredible milestone just as much as our die-hard Baja fans and can’t wait to share even more epic experiences, innovations, and rewards.”
Mountain Dew has acknowledged the passionate customer base of the Baja Blast and announced plans to expand Baja Blast offerings on the Taco Bell menu this year. JP Bittencourt, Vice President of Marketing at Mountain Dew, stated, “We’re constantly inspired by our fans and feed off their energy, which drives our urge to deliver breakthrough innovations and exclusive offerings to thank those who have supported us – whether it’s our diehard fans from day one to new consumers who continue to join our fandom every day.”
