Taco Bell confirms Baja Blast is staying for another 11 years with new drinks coming

Taco Bell has confirmed that Mountain Dew Baja Blast will remain on its menu for another 11 years after extending its partnership with PepsiCo. The announcement, made on October 22, 2026, continues a relationship that has produced several Taco Bell exclusives, including Baja Blast and Doritos Locos Tacos. The deal comes as fellow Yum! Brands chain KFC prepares to switch from PepsiCo to Coca-Cola, a move that will see Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning disappear from its beverage lineup.
