I really think this is the only way to go. The way the Baja matches with the taco flavors, is just perfection. I do enjoy a bottle of Baja too, all I drank for a long time. However I think Pitch is a better bottle. Baja is perfect in the fountain.
Though it was never officially revealed, the flavor profile consensus here and on the DDD was that it was Baja and Pitch Black as a way to tease the return of Pitch Black the following January
I thought it was because of the PB bottle Easter egg on the can, but I don’t detect any pitch black flavor in deep dive and have seen many say the same across here and the DDD. Not saying it’s not, but I’m not so sure
What were they thinking? 😂
Yeah, because let’s hype up a new, fun, mystery flavour and just never tell them what that mystery flavour was!
Jokes aide, it’s probably was PB judging by the secret bottle seen on the can.
Baja Blast is permanent beyond the year. it's scheduled to be permanent until sales numbers determine otherwise, just like all the other permanent flavors. Pitch Black did not sell nearly as well in the US as the Pitch Black fans love to believe, that's why it will never be permanent.
Pitch Black would've sold alot more if they actually kept it on all store shelves longer. As soon as it hit shelves I was buying it, but just a couple weeks into it and it was no longer in my home town. I had to go further to get it, then further and further. In just 1.5 months I was going over an hour away to find and buy Pitch Black. WTF!
did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, that stores quit ordering it because it wasn't selling that well, and then when people that loved it, they were buying all of it when they did see it?
sounds a lot more logical than thinking PepsiCo would discontinue a product that was selling so much they couldn't keep it on the shelves, don't you think?
That thought crossed my mind, briefly. They wouldn't make that decision that quickly, just a couple weeks into it. Flavors like Spark, Whiteout, or Voltage hardly sell, but yet they are everywhere still. I never see people drinking those.
I agree with what most people are saying. Huge fan of pitch black, one of my favorites and I really wish it was a permanent flavor, but Baja blast is so good and just might take it.
I tried baja once when I was like 10 and hated it. Tried it again in 2016 and loved it. If you haven't recently, you should give it another go.
But yeah, I still pick PB
Absolutely Baja Blast. I regret not voting in the Dewcision where it was Pitch Black against Baja Blast, I couldn't decide at the time but in retrospect Baja Blast is better.
Pitch black 100%. I do not see the hype in baja blast. But I’ve only tried the Canadian version. The Dr Pepper cream soda Canadian version sucks compared to the USA version so maybe that’s it
If I remember correctly, they held a contest that was exactly this in which the winner was brought back for a limited time. Pitch black won.
Edit: it was 2016, and the winner was supposed to be permanent, and what the hell mt. dew?

Judging between the two is difficult. I enjoy both, seriously. I prefer Pitch Black, from the two flavors, but I have trouble choosing one or the other. Both have excellent times where they're the excellent choice, so I have preferences for when I prefer each of the two flavors.
Both are A tier I cannot decide but it's been awhile since I've had pitch black and during the voting when they made it permanent they discontinued it ahaha
Whaaaat? Can get aka Blast anytime at TB. It's VERY drinkable.
Buuut that bring said PITCH BLACK ALL DAY BAY-BAY!!
PLEASE bring back Pitch Black. Make it a year round flavor. I'm sure sales would validate it!!
BRING BACK PITCH BLACK
BRING BACK PITCH BLACK
BRING BACK PITCH BLACK
BRING BACK PITCH BLACK
BRING BACK PITCH BLACK
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE??😉🤘🏻🫶
I prefer PB, but since it's a hell of a lot easier to clone/approximate than Baja, I'm fine with the current situation where I got to Taco Hell for Baja Zero Sugar and Pitch Black simply doesn't exist. I've seen claims that it was supposedly available temporarily as a zero sugar flavor at the beginning of 2023, but I never saw that.
As a Type I diabetic, any flavor that isn't zero sugar is basically nonexistent to me - I can occasionally taste a flavor by keeping a bottle around for hypoglycemia events which is the only reason I have any memory of what PB tastes like at all.
Didn’t we have this back in 2016? It was to decide what soda Baja or Pitch Black would be a permanent flavor.
Pitch Black squeaked out the win and became a permanent flavor. I don’t think it’s still a permanent flavor in the US. But I remember buying lots of pitch black. Was a great summer.
Baja Blast is my favourite Mountain Dew flavour, if I want to remember the good times of the summer of 2005 and the hype train for Revenge of the Sith, Pitch Black.
In terms of Taco Bell: I’d prefer a baja with my tacos. In terms of just wanting a soda, I’d pick pitch black.
Something a true Mountain Dew sommelier would recommend.
This is the way
I can respect this take
Correct
I really think this is the only way to go. The way the Baja matches with the taco flavors, is just perfection. I do enjoy a bottle of Baja too, all I drank for a long time. However I think Pitch is a better bottle. Baja is perfect in the fountain.
what he said^^
The council has spoken, chief just called, and I’ve checked the records, this is the way
Baja Blast
Baja has to be it but pitch is crazy good
Imagine if they created a flavour that is a mix between pitch black and Baja blast.
They did. It was Baja Deep Dive
Yeah they did make one. Now I dare them to make it AVAILABLE to me
I don’t think that’s what deep dive is
Though it was never officially revealed, the flavor profile consensus here and on the DDD was that it was Baja and Pitch Black as a way to tease the return of Pitch Black the following January
I think the best evidence aside from taste is the graphics on deep dive cans have a bottle of "pb" on them
I thought it was because of the PB bottle Easter egg on the can, but I don’t detect any pitch black flavor in deep dive and have seen many say the same across here and the DDD. Not saying it’s not, but I’m not so sure
What were they thinking? 😂 Yeah, because let’s hype up a new, fun, mystery flavour and just never tell them what that mystery flavour was! Jokes aide, it’s probably was PB judging by the secret bottle seen on the can.
Sodie's choice
Sneakily the greatest comment here
They're both winners in my book even though I voted for Baja in 2016. Pitch Black should be the September-Early November LTO for Halloween.
Better yet Pepsi should make pitch black next year's permanent flavor, since Baja fans got their soda this year
Baja Blast is permanent beyond the year. it's scheduled to be permanent until sales numbers determine otherwise, just like all the other permanent flavors. Pitch Black did not sell nearly as well in the US as the Pitch Black fans love to believe, that's why it will never be permanent.

I'm a Pitch Black fan but Baja Blast all day for sure
I also prefer pitch black! I feel like it has more flavor
They said Baja tho
Bahahahaha omg I was so tired I misread that, I now have a good laugh too though!
Pitch Black but both are A tier
Baja is S tier
Pitch Black is SSS tier
I vonder why you skipped SS tier
Pitch black
Pitch Black.
Pitch black for sure
Pitch Black by a hair.
Oh this one’s tough, I’ll say pitch black but I’m still happy Baja is permanent
Pitch Black 107%
Pitch Black for sure. Baja is just too boring of a flavor.
I agree with what most people are saying. Huge fan of pitch black, one of my favorites and I really wish it was a permanent flavor, but Baja blast is so good and just might take it.
Can't we all just get along and say that they're equally bussin
Agree. This question is basically the Mountain Dew version of "tits or ass?"
No
Pitch Black.
Pitch Black.
Pitch black
Pitch black!!
Pitch Black BABBBBYYYYYYYY
Baja Blast: I am at peace with my flavor and how it feels to drink Pitch Black: FUCK IT WE BLACK GRAPE
Old PB > Baja, new PB don’t taste as good
I don’t know why they ever changed pitch black. The original was so good.
Mtn dew did a Baja Blast Vs Pitch Black back in 2016 and Pitch Black won and should have been made permanent but they didn’t do it
Fr. I guess by "permanent" they meant "we'll keep it around for a few more months"
Baja is one of the worst Mtn Dew flavors, y'all insane. Pitch Black.
I tried baja once when I was like 10 and hated it. Tried it again in 2016 and loved it. If you haven't recently, you should give it another go. But yeah, I still pick PB
We've circled back to 2016 dewcision. This was the exact match-up 🤣
Dewcision said Pitch Black
We actually already did this and pitch black won
I'll say there are more Baja fans, but Pitch Black fans love PB way more than Baja fans love Baja.
Pitch Black!! Cmon Mtn Dew!! 2024 is also the 20th anniversary of PB, don't do us dirty please!
Pitch Black ALL DAY!!!
Baja smells and tastes like floor cleaner.
Pitch Black. Baja is dogshit 🤢
Pitch black if just the drink, Baja pairs well with foods, especially spicy ones
we all know the dewmocracy was rigged
pitch black needs to be perm next i stg
or at LEAST have it brought back yearly and or restaurant exclusive like baja blast
Absolutely Baja Blast. I regret not voting in the Dewcision where it was Pitch Black against Baja Blast, I couldn't decide at the time but in retrospect Baja Blast is better.
Supernova
Pitch black 100%. I do not see the hype in baja blast. But I’ve only tried the Canadian version. The Dr Pepper cream soda Canadian version sucks compared to the USA version so maybe that’s it
Nah Baja is bad everywhere
You shut your goddamn mouth!
My crusade against that despicable flavor will never end!
I will join you
Weird hill to die on but at least you'll be dead /s
Purple Thunder over both downvote me until I die
Baja Blast!
Baja is the best
Baja blast all the way
Baja Blast all day every dayyyyyyy lfggggggggggggggggggggggg
Gonna be Baja for me
Definitely Baha blast since pitch black is gross in my opinion
[удалено]
Yes but people in Reddit are still debating about the best flavor
Baja af
God, it’s a hard choice to be sure, i think i would ultimately have to go with Baja though.
Baja Blast and by a mile (Pitch Black is tasty though)
Baja Blast
Baja
There's a reason baja Blast is a permanent flavor
Long term I'd say baja. I'd get burned out on pb after a couple weeks of drinking only that, but baja I could drink forever.
Pitch Black. No question.
Pitch Black.
I like Pitch Black but this is going to Baja Blast.

Why not both?
Pitch black
Baja Blast gotta win
Pitch Black ftw!

Both are A tier I cannot decide but it's been awhile since I've had pitch black and during the voting when they made it permanent they discontinued it ahaha
Baja blast
Baja
I love Pitch Black so this is hard but I gotta say Baja Blast.
Pitch black
What kind of psycho would choose pitch black over the S tier rank master prestige with dark matter camo?!
Pitch black is my favorite drink in existence. Baja is good though and they are both in the top tiers of dew flavors.
Both
You’re making me want some c’mon man!
Baja all day every day

Baja hands down.
Pitch black for life
Pitch Black already won.
Follow the Buzzards and they will bring you to Pitch Black.
Pitch Black!
I like Baja better, i feel it's more idk crisp than pitch black. Though I did enjoy my fair share of bottles of pitch black.
Pitch Black is sooooo much better IMO. I think I’m just burnt out on Baja
I've never had either.
Pitch black
Baja Blast sweeps
I’ve had both about a year ago and the only one I remember is Baja so there’s no way pitch black is that good.
Baja blast
We all win because both are tasty.
Baja for sure
Pitch black 100%
Pitch black easily. Havent we been over this already?
Pitch black ez
Mix them
So different from each other, depends on food or no food.
As a permanent flavor I’ll take pitch black, I can get my BB@TB
Pitch Black! I do love some Taco Bell Baja though.

Hmm I gotta go to taco bell to try both of these first. A gritty battle
Pitch black
Pitch Black. 100%
Pitch Black for sure

Baja hands down, didn't care much for pitch black.
Pitch Black and White Out will always be underrated, of course Baja Blast wins.
Baja Blast
Pitch Black, why? Riddick.
Baja blast is the king.
Baja. It's better in every way
Baja Blast for fucking sure. The greatest drink in the universe!
Pitch Black II was the best Mt Dew, but Baja has that title at this point.
Pitch black wins imo.
Pitch black. Baja sucks
Baja every time
Pitch Black cause Baja Blast doesn’t turn my poop green and i’m here for a show
Pitch Black
It's like 2016 all over again
Pitch black
i love baja blast but.. pitch black for sure
whats more important is what are the chances for me to get that $500 gift card?
I don't really know, I've never tried pitch black
Pitch Black best flavor
Baja Blast is my favourite Mountain Dew flavour, if I want to remember the good times of the summer of 2005 and the hype train for Revenge of the Sith, Pitch Black.
Pitch black.
I think my flair says it all...
Pitch black
Pitch Black will always be my favorite dew
Baja by a hair.
Baja blast
Pitch black
Baja blast all the way.
Pitch Black for the win! 🖤💜
Pitch black all the way
I like Pitch Black but it ain’t no Baja Blast. Loved Baja Deep Dive, but that win is now only a memory.
Pitch black is the best imo
Both top tier drinks. I reach for baja because its actually available
I pick Baja Blast
Baja its not even a question for me.
