Taco Bell turns Mountain Dew Baja Blast soda into electric-blue pie

Taco Bell has turned one of its most iconic sodas into a dessert and it’s making waves online.

The new Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie is a limited-edition dessert that transforms the soda’s signature tropical lemon flavor into a creamy, lemon-lime-style treat. The cake, which features a vibrant electric blue filling set in a graham cracker crust and is topped with whipped cream, costs $19.99 and is only sold whole rather than by the slice, and is only available while supplies last.

The cake was first unveiled at Taco Bell’s 2024 Live Más event, sparking memes and petitions from fans who want the cake to be real, according to a press release.
