Fast-food fans are buzzing this week, and it’s all thanks to a brand-new Taco Bell dessert that’s causing way more conversation than anyone expected. One Ohio Taco Bell employee decided to give the chain’s freshly launched Baja Blast pie an honest on-camera review, and TikTok was listening.
If you’re a Taco Bell junkie, you know the fandom around Mountain Dew Baja Blast is practically a personality trait. For years, the fast food chain’s drink dispensers have been filled with that neon blue-green elixir people swear tastes like sunshine, nostalgia, and questionable decisions. But turning the iconic flavor into a dessert? That’s a bold move even by fast-food standards.
Enter TikTok creator and Ohio Taco Bell worker @tmpretty, who decided the world needed answers. Her video, now sitting at more than four million views, shows her in full uniform, fork in hand, staring down a slice of the brightly colored Baja Blast pie like she’s about to negotiate a hostage situation.
Ohio Taco Bell Worker Tries Baja Blast Pie For The First Time
Right away, there’s drama. The pie is still slightly frozen, even though she says she let it thaw. She tries to dig her fork in, but it’s giving iceberg, not indulgence. After some determined chipping away, she finally gets a bite and pauses like a judge on a cooking show about to issue the final verdict.
“It’s not bad,” she says at last, surprising everyone, including herself. She even goes on to compare it to a key lime pie, adding that “it’s not terrible. I definitely give this like a seven out of ten.”
She does point out a few things customers need to know before grabbing a slice. First: don’t eat it frozen unless you enjoy chewing flavored ice. Second: it doesn’t have a super strong Baja Blast flavor. Third: while everyone’s in full Thanksgiving mode, this holiday dessert apparently screams summer pool day, not grandma’s pumpkin pie.
TikTok Doesn’t Like The Look Of It
“It’s giving soap and shaving cream,” one person commented based on the pie’s looks. “Mouthwash pie,” another called it. “You sure that safe to eat?” joked a third social media user. “Eating a bath bomb,” a fourth comment read.
Whether she’ll be taking one home for her own Thanksgiving in Ohio is still a mystery, but one thing’s clear: this quirky little pie is officially the food item everyone wants to see reviewed. TikTok users are already flooding the comments looking for more taste tests, more brutally honest reactions, and more glowing neon desserts to judge.
