PepsiCo's Mountain Dew brand is adding to its Baja Blast portfolio with the release of two new flavours, as well as a limited-edition energy drink. The new flavours include Baja Mango Gem, an orange tropical mango flavour, and Baja Gold, a tropical pineapple flavour. The limited-edition Mtn Dew Energy Baja Blast consists of the original Baja Blast flavour with added benefits of citicoline, zinc and caffeine, all while containing zero sugar. Fabiola Torres, PepsiCo Energy CMO, said: "We know Mtn Dew fans love Baja Blast and love energy drinks. This summer, for a limited time, fans can get the flavour they love, now with the added benefits of energy to get after whatever their day throws at them. There is a Baja Blast for everyone and I think fans should try them all — the only challenge will be choosing a favourite." The new variants are available at US major retailers and convenience store locations nationwide for a limited time only.
