PURCHASE, N.Y., Jan. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kicking off a new year always calls for celebration, but this year MTN DEW is taking it to another level. The Taco Bell® fan-favorite, MTN DEW BAJA BLAST, is officially turning 20 years old and to celebrate this momentous BAJAVERSARY, the brand is giving fans what they deserve: a full year of MTN DEW BAJA BLAST celebrations and the chance to buy their favorite flavor not only at Taco Bell, but also in bottles and cans all-year in 2024 in stores nationwide for the first time.

"MTN DEW BAJA BLAST has cemented its place as a fan-favorite flavor in pop culture and as a staple in countless Taco Bell orders, so we knew we had to celebrate its 20^th anniversary in a big way. Nothing's better than giving fans what they've asked for, with a few additional surprises to keep the celebration going all year long," said JP Bittencourt, Vice President of Marketing at MTN DEW. "Thank you to all the BAJA BLAST lovers over the last 20 years. Because of you, everyone nationwide can now buy the beloved flavor in-stores and as always, at Taco Bell, all year long and earn rewards while doing so... that's a win-win."

A milestone as important as the 20th BAJAVERSARY deserves equally epic celebrations and MTN DEW is bringing its fans along for the ride – with an ice-cold BAJA BLAST in hand. In a promotion sponsored by MTN DEW, fans have a chance to earn rewards just for enjoying a BAJA BLAST, no matter where they Do the DEW. With every purchase of BAJA BLAST and BAJA BLAST ZERO SUGAR, both in stores and at participating Taco Bell locations, consumers can scan to collect coins for a chance to redeem BAJA gear, accessories, electronics, a Taco Bell deal, and more at the BAJA BLAST Shop at www.bajablast.com.
