It worked tho you can finally buy it year round in stores.
I hadn't had Baja blast in years so I grabbed one yesterday and now I am unsure why I ever liked it in the first place. Did they change it or something? I don't remember it just being lime. I got one of the bottled ones, if that makes a difference. Last time I had it, shit was only at Taco Bell.
It definitely tastes different from the bottle than from the fountain.
I think out of the fountain it's gonna be a little watered down for a couple of reasons:
The bottle has also likely been sitting around for a few days to weeks, and more of the carbon dioxide will have converted to carbonic acid, which will affect the taste.
The recipe may actually be a little different for the fountain syrup vs the bottled stuff for these reasons.
If you've never gotten a fountain drink without ice, it's worth trying. It goes warm quicker but won't get watered down. I used to think people who asked for no ice in their drinks were just picky. However, I recently started ordering my drinks that way because I'd sometimes notice a chemical taste as the ice melted and it'd sour my stomach pretty badly. That never happens when I get my drinks without ice.
I don't think any of this is unique to Baja Blast though. Pretty much every soda tastes completely different between bottle and fountain, and also with or without ice.
They say Nethys became the god of magic when he learned everything in the universe, but that was just a side effect. The real apotheosis happened when he cast bajablast for the first, and final, time.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
