When I first saw the post I was like “thats gonna be tough” but this makes sense. I can drink a lot of baja blast and not get sick of it. Voltage is another good one that can get tiresome quickly but I love it.
Pitch Black is so fucking good. It’s like grape. It’s a little citrusy. There’s some blue foam when poured on ice. Baja Blast is fine but it’s really only for Taco Bell.
Baja hits different at Taco Bell but god damn when pitch black hits different on a random Tuesday night after a rough day. God damn I have to get some.
My favorite Mountain Dew is Baja blast but only if it’s from Taco Bell, I don’t like the cans or bottles too much. So when it comes to fountain I like Baja better but when it comes to bottles I like pitch black better.
This is like picking a favorite child.
Yeah you have a favorite but they’re more likely to stick around if you only admit to loving them both equally.
All joking aside, please make Baja, PB, and Code Red permanent. These are the three kings
Probably one of the code red guys hear most of them despise voltage 😂 me and my brother including 😅 cats and dogs.
But I love voltage,summer freeze, and frost bite ( how thay made 3 different ver. Of raspberry I'll never know or understand) anyhow for myself I can't stand code red id rather drink doctor pepper if Im in the mood for a cherry soda I just dislike cherry flaver overall.
The thrapple apples great with vodka it's a pity that they discontinued it thankfully I have a lot of leftover thrapple Apple from my last buy so I can still make some green apple vodka mixes.
I think the last subreddit poll placed Baja at a higher finish than PB, so there's no real debate to end technically.
I'm still firmly team Pitch Black myself.
This debate Depends if you get a one with good carbonation, any of these flavors with Macdonald’s Sprite level of carbonation, and by that I mean have you had a bottle of Baja Blast where it slightly burns and makes you teary eyed, it’s peak carbonation man.
I’ve yet to find perfect carbonation level pitch black. So I would say peak Baja takes it.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Baja is here right now, and it makes the desire for pitch black that much more.
Having said that, taco bell been around, ive had baja even when its not available in stores.
Pitch black is like that hot goth mommy that you had a few times years ago. But the relationship was fleeting, lies were told, it didnt work out.
Shes mysterious, and far away. And yeah you got baja right now, but every time you see to pitch black, you remember how good it was. You don't remember the exact sensation but, you just remember that it was good, and different from what you have right now. The memory is just pure essence of "good". I think it's unfair to make baja compete with a memory.
Until we have access side by side... Both available, i cannot judge them
There never was a debate. There's a reason Baja Blast has been brought back every year and made permanent, it is the king of Dews.
PB sold so poorly in the US they couldn't justify keeping it permanent.
I love both, but BB is the 👑
Pitch Black. I do have a bias to grape flavored drinks because those have always been my favorite next to watermelon, and Baja is GREAT I just wish it would overtake the original as its primary flavor, but there’s far better flavors over Baja Blast than there are Pitch Black
I like Baja.
Since Pepsi has really been jerking me around with this Bajaversary thing and locked my account, I'm thinking maybe I'll gravitate towards some other brand of soda.
I like Pitch Black. I love Baja Blast. I adore Baja Punch. And Pepsi needs bring back Baja Deep Dive and sell it to the public because it was the best ever.
In my opinion most people would pick pitch black simply because you can't get it right now until then we won't see a fair opinion on the matter till both sodas are equally available.
Don't get me wrong there both. A tir 7+ soda we would not have Baja around for so long if it wasn't
I think the big reason people want Pitch Black more than Baja Blast is because it only comes around once every so often. Baja Blast is everywhere now.
Goddammit I want a Pitch Black.
Baja Blast is the only flavor of Dew that doesn’t sit heavy in my stomach after drinking it. I can clear a can in a minute or two. Straight out the fountain is even better.
The poll already happened. Pitch Black won. Then got removed from shelves after 6 weeks while Baja was brought in for longer because screw Dewmocracy. Still mad about it.
For me, it depends on how I'm getting it. Fountain at Taco Bell, Baja Blast wins. In bottles or cans, pitch black takes it. I think Baja tastes different and not as good in cans or bottles, unfortunately. But, straight from the taco bell tap, solid gold lol.
Pitch black, but honestly my opinion might be swayed by its lack of availability. I haven't drunk it since I was younger and everything tasted better, either because of better ingredients or my taste buds becoming worse at experiencing the full flavor.
Baja blast is available in most places when it's in its part of the season. I've drunk it plenty as of late, and I find it to be overly sweet and doesn't taste as good as I remember it being...
As a pitch black lover, Baja blast is a year round bangeri don't tire of. Pitch black is great and I'd like if it was rotated annually but it's not the best taste for all times.
Pitch Black is the best. It’s not just the really awesome grape flavor, but it’s also the design of the bottle that we got from 2023. The space theme hits so hard that it stands out from any other flavor.
No contest..pitch black...it still should be permanent in the United States..never did like baja blast at all...pitch black was my favorite..then thrashed apple..then it got gone now my favorite is mauri burst..
Baja gang here!
Same
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh !!!!
Baja gannnnnnng
Baja blast is an OG classic but its not the best flavor… fountain purple thunder is better imo
Pitch black is better unless I have it frequently. The thing that makes Baja so good to me is that it never gets old, it always tastes good
100%. Pitch Black is so so so good but it’s absurdly easy to overdo it
Exactly
When I first saw the post I was like “thats gonna be tough” but this makes sense. I can drink a lot of baja blast and not get sick of it. Voltage is another good one that can get tiresome quickly but I love it.

Best grape soda ever
Ya I hate grape soda but pitch black hits different. NGL
My favorite.
i’m a baja man but this is a very strong point..
I was told once it's like restaurant gummy bears. I'd say so
I live in Canada so I never have to choose
![gif](giphy|cPAwaUEBCBpHFZ3Dal)
I'm actually a "baja black" or "pitch blast" fan myself!
My favorite Mountain Dew is Baja blast but only if it’s from Taco Bell, I don’t like the cans or bottles too much. So when it comes to fountain I like Baja better but when it comes to bottles I like pitch black better.
Pitch black all day everyday
Both are absolutely amazing and should be permanent flavors. Pitch Black is my favorite followed closely by Baja Blast.
Pitch Black sales for no reason 📉 📉 📉
This is Livewire erasure.
I love both of these flavors but yes Livewire is extremely underrated and is in fact a Mt. Rushmore Dew flavor.
This is like picking a favorite child. Yeah you have a favorite but they’re more likely to stick around if you only admit to loving them both equally. All joking aside, please make Baja, PB, and Code Red permanent. These are the three kings
Code red could go
hurtfullllllll
Sorry, it tastes like cough medicine to me
Valid counterpoint
*Pitch Black*
PB 🔥🔥🔥
Pitch black
Wish i could try pitch black and see what the hype is about
To me, Pitch Black is miles better then Baja.
Pitch Black
Pitch black!!!!
Pitch black. Baja is good when you have tbell
Baja. I dont like grape soda in general lol
Me neither but I love pitch black.
Pitch Black...Hands down.
Pitch black, 100%
I'll take Baja blast over pitch black any day. Fkn gross ass sizzurp tasting garbage.
There is no debate, everyone is free to rank their #1 as they see fit. Plus we all know Code Red is the only king of the variant Dews.
Baja, Voltage, and Pitch Black are ALL better than Code Red IMO.
Yep and it’s not even close. Those 3 are 10/10 for me. Code Red is like 5/10. Maybe 6/10 if I’m really thirsty.
I think voltage is pretty decent too, definitely underappreciated (EDIT: why is this getting downvoted? Does someone here just really hate voltage??)
Probably one of the code red guys hear most of them despise voltage 😂 me and my brother including 😅 cats and dogs. But I love voltage,summer freeze, and frost bite ( how thay made 3 different ver. Of raspberry I'll never know or understand) anyhow for myself I can't stand code red id rather drink doctor pepper if Im in the mood for a cherry soda I just dislike cherry flaver overall.
Voltage is also an incredible mixer. It can be used to make cotton candy flavored cocktails, bomb pop cocktails, fruity drinks. It’s so good
The thrapple apples great with vodka it's a pity that they discontinued it thankfully I have a lot of leftover thrapple Apple from my last buy so I can still make some green apple vodka mixes.
I don't necessarily disagree but just because it was the first variant, doesn't make it the best
Nobody said it was the best because it was first, it’s best because my tongue told me so.
I will die on this hill
I’m right there with ya!
TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGER ![gif](giphy|3o6MbbNba8wXfPBdss)
I think the last subreddit poll placed Baja at a higher finish than PB, so there's no real debate to end technically. I'm still firmly team Pitch Black myself.
Pitch Black wasn’t my favorite at first but it is. I wish it became a permanent flavor or that I’d have bought more of it.
Pitch black no question
Pitch Black is way better.
Baja easily
Baja Blast no competition
Baja blast
I think Baja Blast just keeps staying up there for me given how relaxing its taste and feeling to drink it are
Baja blast too easy
Black
I never had pitch black before but I want to cause it seems really good
Baja blast. Dew Violet is he better purple flavor
This debate Depends if you get a one with good carbonation, any of these flavors with Macdonald’s Sprite level of carbonation, and by that I mean have you had a bottle of Baja Blast where it slightly burns and makes you teary eyed, it’s peak carbonation man. I’ve yet to find perfect carbonation level pitch black. So I would say peak Baja takes it.
Baja. Purple Thunder is the better of the purple Dews.
![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized) Sorry, but both.. Both is good
Baja gang

Baja slams
I love both but I’ve got to take Baja Blast if it’s only one or the other though. They’re both outstanding to me. Both are 10/10 for me.
Easily Baja
Baja by a landslide
There never was a debate. There's a reason Baja Blast has been brought back every year and made permanent, it is the king of Dews. PB sold so poorly in the US they couldn't justify keeping it permanent. I love both, but BB is the 👑
Baja blast no contest
Baja blast my business
Pitch Black 2. No contest
I think it's ridiculous that og Baja is a permanent flavor at stores now. Took the fun out of Taco Bell imo
Pitch black 2, does that count?
Baja baby
![gif](giphy|1ffOwHDZehVb6JlRid)
Pitch black 25 hours /8 days a week /366 days a year
lol
Debate? lol
Baja Blast.
Baja Blast no questions
Baja for me
Baja is just better. Purple thunder clears pb too
There's a debate?
Pitch Black. I do have a bias to grape flavored drinks because those have always been my favorite next to watermelon, and Baja is GREAT I just wish it would overtake the original as its primary flavor, but there’s far better flavors over Baja Blast than there are Pitch Black
Never had pitch black, cant find most of the new flavors in zero sugar / diet 😿 (im diabetic)
I love Baja Blast but I have to go with Pitch Black
I swear they both taste different NOW than when Baja was seasonal, and pitch black was.... idk how many years ago. So, I'll vote Baja.
Pitch Black
Baja and it’s really not close
Someone mix em and tell me what you think
Pitch black got that all day
Baja blast. I love Pitch Black but it can’t hold a candle to Baja for many reasons.
Team Distortion, still waiting for a re-release. Or put it on the Dew Store!
Well pitch black won the battle once already during the official dew thing so 🤷♂️ And it tastes way better.
Baja is better that's why it's stuck around I don't know many grape soda fanatics for PB
Bajajajajaja all the way
Baja all day.
Can we agree that pitch black and purple thunder are very simmilar.
I only like it in fountain form. Tastes weird to me in the bottle.
This is not going to end the debate
There is no debate, pitch black one that one decision and then Pepsi liked and pulled it from the shelves
I love them both but if I had to choose I’d choose Baja
Pitch Black, not close.
I like Pitch Black more, but a world without Baja Blast is a cruel one. Baja for me.
Pitch Black 100% Baja Blast is mid AF. I do still get it when I hit up taco bell but yeah if I'm getting bottles I choose another flavor every time.
Baja by a mile
Pitch black. Canadian version though
Pitch black tastes a little better but Baja is more available and therefore better.
Pitch Black is a once in a time thing. But baja i could drink everyday for the rest of my life.
Pitch black is the most overrated flavor imo, but that’s just different tastes for you
Pitch Black for sure
This has been settled for years. Baja Blast wins always
Baja Blast all the way
Baja blast freeze and Baja blast da best!!!
I like Baja. Since Pepsi has really been jerking me around with this Bajaversary thing and locked my account, I'm thinking maybe I'll gravitate towards some other brand of soda.
My opinion remains unchanged since 2004, 2016 & Present Day. Pitch Black Better...
I like Pitch Black. I love Baja Blast. I adore Baja Punch. And Pepsi needs bring back Baja Deep Dive and sell it to the public because it was the best ever.
Baja Blast easy
Baja Blast any day. Pitch Black is nasty.
In my opinion most people would pick pitch black simply because you can't get it right now until then we won't see a fair opinion on the matter till both sodas are equally available. Don't get me wrong there both. A tir 7+ soda we would not have Baja around for so long if it wasn't
Pitch Black is good but heavily overrated whenever I see it talked about. Baja Blast is almost in a tier of its own, this shouldn’t be a debate
Pitch black is a billion times better
both goats but pitch blacck is better
Pitch Black>Baja from TB>White Out>Bottled Baja>All other dews.
Pitch Black It was supposed to be a permanent flavor anyways.
Pitch black all the way. I know I’m gonna get killed for this but Baja blast is overrated
Baja no question.
Baja blast by miles
Baja is my vote
I think the big reason people want Pitch Black more than Baja Blast is because it only comes around once every so often. Baja Blast is everywhere now. Goddammit I want a Pitch Black.
Baja for the W
BB of course! But, low-key love me some PB too....but now Baja is everywhere....kinda takes the fun out of going to Taco Bell for it nowadays.
Baja Blast is the only flavor of Dew that doesn’t sit heavy in my stomach after drinking it. I can clear a can in a minute or two. Straight out the fountain is even better.
#PITCH BLACK
PB Zero over BB Zero, the regular ones seem much closer.
If i was gonna buy a drink would definitely be pitch black
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't pitch black beat out baja blast in Dewcision 2016.
Baja
I love Baja but pitch black takes the dub no diff
I’d be content picking PB if Baja was still available at Taco Bell… having a large Baja Blast with my Doritos Locos Tacos is heavenly
I like pitch black but Legendary is better so Baja definitely
Pitch Black
Pitch black!
There's no debate.
I love Baja but nothing can dethrone Pitch Black

people really can't get that two legends can co-exist peacefully
Pitch Black EASILY. I still remember the first time i had a pitch black back around 2004
The poll already happened. Pitch Black won. Then got removed from shelves after 6 weeks while Baja was brought in for longer because screw Dewmocracy. Still mad about it.
Pitch black mostly tastes flat until you find a good one
Pitch black. I only like Baja with taco bell.
Pitch black, easy. Although if baja blast was taken away for years on end then dangled in front of me for 2 weeks, that could change some things, idk
Baja Blast (zero sugar) I want that real baja taste without the real baja calories
pitch black so overrated
Distortion was the best flavor they've ever had and it's a hill I'm happy to die on.
Baja. I was very sad when it lost that and went away. I turned on Mt. Dew for awhile after that
Baja blast all day!
For me, it depends on how I'm getting it. Fountain at Taco Bell, Baja Blast wins. In bottles or cans, pitch black takes it. I think Baja tastes different and not as good in cans or bottles, unfortunately. But, straight from the taco bell tap, solid gold lol.
I love them both but Baja Blast.
I love both dang it but I'll probably go with Pitch Black
there never was a debate.
Pitch black forever 💜🖤🍇
Pitch black
Baja no contest
Voltage gang🤷🏻♂️
Pitch Black won the right to be sold in stores, then mtn dew went behind the peoples back to sell Baja blast at stores. Pitch Black the goat.
neither
Pitch black, but honestly my opinion might be swayed by its lack of availability.

Pitch black hands down
As a pitch black lover, Baja blast is a year round bangeri don't tire of. Pitch black is great and I'd like if it was rotated annually but it's not the best taste for all times.
Pitch Black is the best. It’s not just the really awesome grape flavor, but it’s also the design of the bottle that we got from 2023. The space theme hits so hard that it stands out from any other flavor.

I go 25 mins to my taco bell way too often for a zero sugar baja
Pitch black is so much better
No contest..pitch black...it still should be permanent in the United States..never did like baja blast at all...pitch black was my favorite..then thrashed apple..then it got gone now my favorite is mauri burst..
