On April Fools’ Day, inspired by its Baja Blast flavor, Mountain Dew offered up a vacation stay at a Baja Bungalow with, among other oddities, a “187,000,000,000,000,000,000-gallon saltwater tank [with] sharks, maybe crabs and weird things that touch your foot and freak you out.” If you read the press release the prank was obvious but it was notable that Mountain Dew used a flavor that hadn’t been on shelves for two years as inspiration.
Cut to today: The company has announced that Mountain Dew’s Baja Blast will be back—available in 20 oz.
