Why is this holy nectar only available at Taco Bell?

>> No.4728461

I love the stuff, but hate it being at taco bell. We've got like 5 and every time I see one I want a Baja Blast, but feel awkward just ordering that so have to get some food

>> No.4728468

Why feel awkward? I go into A&W for a fountain root beer all the time.

>> No.4728473

>>4728461
Nobody working at Taco Bell gives a shit about anything. You're actually doing them a favor by ordering something they don't have to fix. They wish every customer was like you. You're depriving them by not just going in for a drink. How can you be so selfish?

Workers love me, I ask for food without vegetables and the drink, less work on their part and I don't get allergies (until they fuck up and put lettuce and tomatoes in a quesadilla )

BAJA BLAST IS GOD

A large Baja Blast with 3 Doritos Locos Tacos is the perfect snack to grab while you're out and about, or for fourthmeal!

>> No.4728588

My favorite customer always comes through for just a drink. She's not my favorite because that's all she gets, but because she's always super nice and pleasant! Also, Baja Blast isn't that special.

Don't they do limited promotional runs with this in stores every now and then?

TacoBell also seems to be the only major fast food chain with DrPepper on tap (well here in Canada anyways)...

Just add blue Powerade to regular Mountain Dew until it tastes alright.

Cheater Baja Blast.

10c tacos on tuesday at our local taco bell, max 30 per order. Thought it was a nationwide thing, maybe not.

this is why its only at taco bell
people like you feel guilty paying for soda at 1000% markup.
Im sure all those taco bell executives who cut the deal with pepsi hate your guts for not adding another 2 bucks to their seven figure salaries.

But I do go and get it, just that I order food with it every time.

>> No.4728679

I like Baja Blast, and I love Taco Bell, but I wish more fast food places had the other flavors of Dew rather than just the plain green.

>> No.4728702

Remember you can only get this flavor of Mountain Dew at your neighborhood Taco Bell!

I always thought it was pretty crap you can only get this at Taco Bell.

so you are telling me there are TacoBells out there crazy enough to sell 30 tacos for 3$?

how is this possible?

>> No.4728835

>>4728832
It probably costs them like less than 5c in materials per taco, they're still making dough.

Like how pizzas are usually like a buck, but sell for $20. Profit margin is insaine

>> No.4728856

>>4728835
what about the labor costs? or rent?

with those prices it would be safe to assume that every customer purchases 30 tacos so 10 customers would mean cranking out 300 tacos. imagine the wait time on that.

also pizzas are not that cheap to make otherwise you wouldnt see so many shitposts from college faggots wanting to eat gourmet for 10$ a week.

No everyone is not getting 30 tacos, most I've ever seen anyone get was like 10

Not him but I've heard the same about pizza, in fact It was one of the first things we learned in business school. Pizza parlors have great overhead values and one of the best material to product ratios in all of the food industry.

mah nigga

I do this if I ever find myself in a fast food place with mountain dew/mellow yellow and blue powerade.
Got to get it to the dark green color. Perfect balance of flavor and carbonation.

>> No.4728908

>>4728870
how the fuck does that work? where is this taco bell located? i actually want to call them and inquire about this...

>>4728870
in my area that place would be swarmed by hobos and minorities and they would take as many tacos as they could get.

>> No.4728933

This is fake. Imagine if everyone in your family could order 30 tacos/Tuesday. You'd never have to spend money on food again. Store them in the fridge, ask your neighbors to buy you 30... Shit..

>> No.4728942

>>4728933
I don't know about taco tuesday, but our taco bell is always giving away free tacos. One, mind you, but generally to drum up business for other items. Always something on the sign like 'free taco with volcano burrito' or something

who the fuck would want to store fast food tacos, let alone eat them later? Have you ever actually had taco bell?

Baja blast was made specifically for taco bell and made to taste good with taco bell food.

>> No.4729008

I don't know why people are so surprised by that price. Back in the 90s McDonalds used to have 29cent Hamburger Wednesdays and 39cent Cheeseburger Sundays. You could eat all week off of that. Parents wouldn't have to cook and there would be no mess in the kitchen. My grandmother used to order like 30 each on those days.

People in backwoods Alaska.
When I worked there, there wasn't a week where someone wouldn't come in and order three 12-packs and a couple Crunchwraps to fly them to Juneau or Bethel or some shithole I can't pronounce so they could sell them at double the price to the natives.

Diet soda is even worse for you than regular soda. Drinking regular once a week is a hell of a lot better than drinking diet all the time.

anyone ever experimented with combining flavors of drinks at other chains? at McDonald's I find that 1/3rd a cup of Powerade mountain berry blast and a quick shot of Hi-C, then fill the rest of the cup with Sprite tastes pretty damn close to Baja Blast.

No, none of us had access to a soda fountain and mixed every flavor available into a drink kids called "suicide".

Not a single one of us had a childhood.
