Mountain Dew Baja Blast mini cans are 50 cents each at Walmart

Walmart is selling single 7.5-ounce cans of Baja Blast and two Zero Sugar Baja flavors for 50 cents apiece. By our math, that’s about 6.7 cents an ounce, versus about 10.7 cents for a Kroger 10-pack.

Mountain Dew fans have a new stocking stuffer, and it costs two quarters. Walmart is selling single 7.5-ounce mini cans of Mountain Dew Baja flavors for 50 cents each, TheStreet reported Sunday, Nov. 8.

Three flavors are part of the deal:

• Baja Blast

• Baja Blast Zero Sugar

• Baja Cabo Citrus Zero Sugar

TheStreet said the singles are sold exclusively at Walmart, citing a post from the soda-spotting Instagram account SodaSeekers. The post’s pitch: “Mountain Dew just solved your stocking stuffer shortage.”

Sporked spotted the cans at Walmart on Friday, Nov. 6. Its pitch was simpler. You no longer have to buy a 12-pack to get your Baja fix.

How much are Mountain Dew Baja Blast mini cans?

At Walmart, 50 cents for one 7.5-ounce can. That works out to about 6.7 cents an ounce.

For comparison, King Soopers, a Kroger store, lists a 10-pack of Baja Blast mini cans for $7.99. That’s about 80 cents a can, or roughly 10.7 cents an ounce. So the Walmart single is the cheaper way to buy the same little can, at least until your kid asks for six of them.

TheStreet ran its own numbers on full-size Mountain Dew. A 6-pack of Mountain Dew Citrus Pop on Walmart.com costs $5.47, or about 91 cents each. A 10-pack at Target runs $7.69, or about 77 cents each.

What’s in a Baja Blast mini can?

The Baja Blast mini can box lists 100 calories and 28 grams of sugar per 7.5-ounce can. The two Zero Sugar flavors skip the sugar.

Baja Blast is the tropical lime flavor that started as a Taco Bell fountain drink in 2004. The mini can box still carries a small Taco Bell “Original” badge. Baja Cabo Citrus is a newer spin on the same idea.

Is the 50-cent Mountain Dew can a Walmart exclusive?

That’s what TheStreet and SodaSeekers say. Neither PepsiCo nor Walmart has announced the singles, and TheStreet didn’t quote either company.

Two things to know before you drive over:

• 10-packs aren’t exclusive. Kroger-owned stores already list Baja Blast mini cans in 10-packs. The Walmart part of this story is the single can at 50 cents.

• No end date. Nobody has said how long the cans will stay at that price, or whether every Walmart has them. Online listings may not match what’s in your local store.

Mountain Dew has worked with Walmart before. Its Trolli Mango Pineapple Punch ran from August through October and came with a Walmart-exclusive promotional kit, according to PepsiCo, TheStreet reported.

Why are cheap mini sodas a thing right now?

Dominick Miserandino, CEO of RTM Nexus, told TheStreet that shoppers are hunting for “affordable indulgence.” In other words, a treat that doesn’t feel like a bad money decision.

TheStreet’s take on the gift angle: cheap cans in semi-collectible flavors let families stretch a holiday budget. Fifty cents per stocking is hard to beat. A gift card it is not.

What other holiday sodas are out in 2026?

Soda brands went big for the holidays this year. A few we’ve covered:

• Pepsi Vanilla & Cream Holiday Kit: a $20 Walmart.com exclusive with 12 cans, a cookie mix and cookie cutters, on sale Thursday, Nov. 19

• Pepsi Vanilla & Cream: launched nationwide Oct. 19 for a limited holiday run

• Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla: back on shelves for its second season

• 7Up Shirley Temple: back for the 2026 holidays

Is a new Mountain Dew flavor coming?

Reportedly, yes. Mountain Dew Baja Berry Sol, a guava, strawberry and lime flavor, is set to arrive nationwide on Jan. 4, 2027, according to leaked product details. Mountain Dew hasn’t announced it yet, so treat that as a rumor for now.
