Replace: It seems, as of early September 2025, that is now not on the menu. I had it mid-August, however didn’t get an opportunity to put in writing a evaluation till later, and didn’t notice it was gone. I’ll put up this evaluation anyway, in case it comes again.
Right here we’re in Autumn 2025, and there’s no signal of my beloved Mountain Dew Pitch Black. As a substitute, the one darkish purple Dew obtainable throughout this Halloween season is Taco Bell’s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight. Boo! Not ghost “boo.” Disapproval, “boo.”
Sadly, each instances I went to Taco Bell to strive the brand new unique Dew, there was no syrup obtainable. The Baja Midnight soda spigot simply spewed clear carbonated water, and I needed to accept Baja Blast to clean down a Crunchwrap Supreme and my disappointment that was as darkish because the Baja Midnight I used to be purported to have in my cup. Nonetheless, as a comfort prize, I ended up with Taco Bell’s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight Freeze.
Wanting on the purple slush made me unhappy about not having Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Or perhaps I’m experiencing some SAD (Slushie Affective Dysfunction) that’s brought on by having to get the slush type of a Dew I needed. No matter I used to be feeling, this Freeze didn’t thaw my temper.
Baja Midnight is a Dew with passionfruit flavoring, which, if you happen to’re retaining monitor at residence, sounds exactly like Baja Passionfruit Punch that got here out in 2023, which was additionally purple in colour. Wanting again at my evaluation of it, I gave it a stable 7 ranking. I can’t keep in mind what it tasted like, which implies it was both forgettable or I’m getting forgettable.
If Baja Midnight and Baja Passionfruit Punch are an identical twins separated at beginning, then perhaps I didn’t look after Baja Passionfruit Punch as a lot as I believed I did. It had a good tart passionfruit taste with hints of citrus. However there was additionally a bizarre, floral-like aftertaste with the citrusy punch on the again finish. However that floral taste ultimately went away the extra I drank it. However no matter I used to be tasting didn’t wow me, and if given the selection between it and Baja Blast to clean down my Taco Bell meal and disappointment, I’d choose Baja Blast.
I suppose it’s secure to say Taco Bell’s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight Freeze just isn’t my cup of MounTEAn Dew. Oh, it’s not secure as a result of I shoved “tea” in Mountain Dew, and also you’re not impressed with that wordplay? Properly then, you’ve got now skilled the identical disappointment I had with this Freeze.
