Mountain Dew is Turning Up the Heat With a New Hot Sauce

Mountain Dew is usually there to quench your thirst, but its latest product may have you reaching for a can for a different reason. 

The original version of Mountain Dew has a citrusy taste, but there have been many popular flavors of the soft drink over the years. One of the best-loved was Baja Blast which was originally created for Taco Bell. 

As a limited edition flavor, Baja Blast has appeared on shelves periodically since 2014. It is now set to be reincarnated into a whole new form…

To celebrate National Hot Sauce Day on January 22 (yes, that’s a thing), Mountain Dew teamed up with iBurn to create a sauce inspired by Baja Blast! And just like the carbonated drink, the sauce will be blue.

“The new MTN DEW Baja Blast Hot Sauce merges the iconic tropical flavor of the fan favorite MTN DEW Baja Blast with the heat from habanero peppers, green chiles and jalapeño peppers for a taste straight from Baja Island!” states the official description. 

As exciting as the news is, the downside is that you won’t actually be able to buy the hot sauce. Just 750 bottles of the spicy stuff have been made and the only way to get your hands on one is to win it.
