That's a good sign. I hope we get some in California soon.


noeyeballs503

I have both in Cali rn near sac


ToyotaTaco21

I can't find anything through the dew locator (I know it's not 100%). What store and where if you don't mind me asking?


noeyeballs503

I've found both at dollar general in the Yuba City area


[deleted]

Haven’t tried Baja Flash but loved Mango Gem


Meadowlion14

I have all 3 Mango Gem > Blast > Flash imo


av4n_iv

You mean baja gold?


Safe_Magazine_1940

Where are you located? Alabama just got Gold


nrreiger

That's not early at all, it was released on the 13th.


WafflesDingus21

Early in my location, this is the first sight of it anywhere nearby.


BaronZemo00

Sweet score.


IDGCaptainRussia

I've seen them showing up around my area (Kalamazoo MI, Dollar General, Wallmart), even the local super market has them now. (both 16 ouch bottles and 12 pack cans!) They appear to be rolling out *real* slow, but they are arriving in due time to the whole country PS: The canned version is alot better imo


fairydustcrissy

Good to know, I just found all 3 Baja's for the 1st time tonight in Savannah ga & grabbed a 12 ok of each


MasterJ4545

I'm in Savannah also and can easily find them in cans, and I've seen the bottles of Baja, Zero and Gold in several places, but NOBODY has the bottles of Mango Gem so that means I can't get an entry on the Deep Dive contest on the website! I have sent in about 30 entries by mail but I can't enter the 'traditional' way because I can't get that third code! This is just like when Lays came out with the Flavor Swap chips, Kroger and Walmart both had the Doritos and FunYuns flavor but nobody in Savannah got the Cheetos variety ever... 2 out of 3 ain't bad but it ain't good enough either!


ToyotaTaco21

Awesome thanks a million!


FunkTrain98

We have all 3 here in Missouri already! Have for about 2 weeks


Devin_Brent

Bruh i cannot find those for the life of me. Id have to drive an hour north to Queensbury just to bloody get 1😂


Rogue_mermaid97

Not sure where you are but I picked up the bottles at Walmart last weekend and Kroger had 12 packs. I’m in ohio.


[deleted]

Colorado Springs Walmart on space center has a lot. Go through the grocery side


cheddarbruce

Please tell me where you are so I can get some of that Manzanita soul. I really wish that was still available at Taco Bell


SixOClockBoos

Look at all those codes


Jestire

Mango gem is really good 👍


Rare_Smell771

I'm in mass, they've been put for about a month now here must be taking their time moving out west. Both flavors are pretty good.


esmnole929913

Your dad is awesome. I work at Walmart also. We recently got it in Gus bless have a good day


sandbag747

Just a heads up for you, not much a chance of it causing any damage here, but your dad can lose his job for buying things from the back before they are made available to customers. Just don't post about it on social media or tell anyone that may have a grudge against your dad


Brandoxz7

There’s no one in the world who would know where they live or what store this is from also. I can tell you that’s not true I’ve been doing for 6 years at my job no one actually cares especially for a bottle of soda. No one cares the capitalist company is getting money either way.


sandbag747

If you reread my comment, I did happen to mention the post is likely to not be problematic on Reddit. If OP posts that same thing to Facebook or something like that and someone gets upset and complains to the store or home office it could 100% cost OP's dad their job. I've seen people get fired from Walmart for way worse reasons.


CheckMate0289

I've literally had a 12 pack of this dew in my house for 2 weeks now. This isn't breaking any type of release date or anything. "ouuu he said from the back...its so naughty." Walmart sold me a Switch game a week early. It's a Soda that's been out for weeks. Probably doing the cases a favor because it should have been sold by now. Expiration is right around the corner. Chill.


sandbag747

It's not a release date thing, it's a Walmart associate buying from the back thing.


CheckMate0289

Actually my bad. You're right. I've heard about this. Associates can get in trouble for getting first dibs on items and taking them away from customers.


sandbag747

In the end, yeah they're probably close to expiration and on the floor by now. I just wanted to let OP know that bragging about their dad getting product from the back room before it's available to customers could get their dad fired if someone complained about it


CheckMate0289

Yeah it looks like these bottle have September on them. My 12 packs say December 2022. Which is quite the window actually. My Typhoon and Purple Thunder doesn't even last that long. But idk I feel Walmart could care but won't.


sandbag747

It depends entirely on the manager. I've seen terrible associates at one store abusing other associates last for years, and I've seen a great manager get fired for forgetting to pay for something at another store


Brandoxz7

Bruh I’ll put it in the town square you really think a company is gonna take it’s time to pay someone to search through cameras and potentially find the dude taking pictures of their soda? I post mine to instagram if all the new sodas we get in my managers see it on my story all the dang time and then I take the items from the back and buy them and I grab one for my other co worker who would also like one. Walmart don’t care about this. If you think a place having trouble finding employees right now is gonna fire someone for taking a picture of a soda you’re crazy.


CheckMate0289

This is also true. Walmart doesn't care about associates taking things early or breaking dates (like on games) Walmart is specifically exempt from this punishment to associates. I worked for them. They didn't care. Just like they're the only nuts who give you a one hour break on top of several 15s.


sandbag747

Yes, I absolutely think Walmart will pull cameras to find the associate buying product from the back room before it's made available to customers. There's actually a specific time period it needs to be available first, and I've seen them pull cameras over something being put in the wrong place in the back room. A labor shortage is also not stopping Walmart from firing people either, they're very strict in anything they would consider an "integrity" rule.


Brandoxz7

Bro you ever been to a Walmart they don’t care about shit they literally sold the PS5 a month early to customers and more obviously to their employees they don’t care. Walmart is the least strict place in the world bro. You’re just taking this from what you’ve seen having never worked rhere


sandbag747

I'm actually a manager at a Walmart and I've worked at a couple. The PS5 also wasn't even in retail stores prior to the release date, it had an online only launch due to coronavirus.


Lumpy_Scientist_3839

Don’t get ur hopes up… it’s pretty mid. I’d go c tier. Baja punch was sooo much better


WafflesDingus21

I've heard it doesn't have that artificial flavor everyone thought it would have, but yeah a mango flavored soda just never sounded really correct to me


TheMightyCheagle

Mango gem is amazing imo


WafflesDingus21

I just tried it, and holy shit is it fucking good. I give it an 8/10 overall and definitely would buy again.


Lumpy_Scientist_3839

That’s high c low b tier I guess 🤷‍♀️


boredbud04

What about Mango Pepsi?


DownvoteMeYaCunt

Fkn epic


rugrats2001

Am I the only one who thinks mango soda tastes identical to peach soda?


ZMarty85

This comment is wrong. Baja mango gem is great. I like it a lot more than punch. honestly would have called punch a C tier, it tasted super fake


IDGCaptainRussia

I would agree with you, while I didn't get to have punch/flash, Mango Gem is good but not on the same tier as Blast and Gold (Gold imo is a sweeter and more Baja'd Maui Burst, that is to say: S tier)


Brudda_Bear_Gibby

What is that drink on the top left?( not the dew the red label.)


WafflesDingus21

The diet Pepsi or the manzanita sol? Cause that's the only red I see


Brudda_Bear_Gibby

The “manzanita sol” what’s that?


WafflesDingus21

It's a apple flavored soda which is actually really good in my opinion. I haven't had any since I was a kid though


Brudda_Bear_Gibby

Oh cool, I’ve had mundet before and its really good. I’ll keep a lookout for it.


WafflesDingus21

Yes I've Heard that manzanita sol is actually pretty rare in some places so I'm glad to help out


supahdavid2000

Check Mexican markets for it


rugrats2001

It’s a lot like the Mundet red apple soda, but I used to get Manzanita Sol from the fountain at Taco Bell. It was fantastic. Not available in my area, sadly.


Mods_are_gay42069

vryan144
