Instead, the only dark purple Dew available during this Halloween season is Taco Bell&#8217;s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight. Boo! Not ghost &#8220;boo.&#8221; Disapproval, &#8220;boo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, both times I went to Taco Bell to try the new exclusive Dew, there was no syrup available. The Baja Midnight soda spigot just spewed clear carbonated water, and I had to settle for Baja Blast to wash down a Crunchwrap Supreme and my sadness that was as dark as the Baja Midnight I was supposed to have in my cup. However, as a consolation prize, I ended up with Taco Bell&#8217;s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight Freeze.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-72360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tbmbbajamidnfreeze2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Looking at the purple slush made me sad about not having Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Or maybe I&#8217;m experiencing some SAD (Slushie Affective Disorder) that&#8217;s caused by having to get the slush form of a Dew I wanted. Whatever I was feeling, this Freeze didn&#8217;t thaw my mood.<\/p>\n<p>Baja Midnight is a Dew with passionfruit flavoring, which, if you&#8217;re keeping track at home, sounds precisely like Baja Passionfruit Punch that came out in 2023, which was also purple in color. Looking back at my review of it, I gave it a solid 7 rating. I can&#8217;t remember what it tasted like, which means it was either forgettable or I&#8217;m getting forgettable.<\/p>\n<p>If Baja Midnight and Baja Passionfruit Punch are identical twins separated at birth, then maybe I didn&#8217;t care for Baja Passionfruit Punch as much as I thought I did. It had a decent tart passionfruit flavor with hints of citrus. But there was also a weird, floral-like aftertaste with the citrusy punch at the back end. But that floral flavor eventually went away the more I drank it. But whatever I was tasting didn&#8217;t wow me, and if given the choice between it and Baja Blast to wash down my Taco Bell meal and sadness, I&#8217;d prefer Baja Blast. <\/p>\n<p>I guess it&#8217;s safe to say Taco Bell&#8217;s Mountain Dew Baja Midnight Freeze is not my cup of MounTEAn Dew. Oh, it&#8217;s not safe because I shoved &#8220;tea&#8221; in Mountain Dew, and you&#8217;re not impressed with that wordplay? Well then, you have now experienced the same disappointment I had with this Freeze. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Large<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 200 calories, 0 grams of fat, 55 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 51 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 60 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: It appears, as of early September 2025, this is no longer on the menu.
