History[]
On October 11th, 2022, on the Dew Drinker Discord, it was first leaked of two new pink and purple flavors: Baja Caribbean Splash and Baja Passionfruit would re-release alongside Baja Blast, and Baja Blast Zero Sugar in part for an unnamed Summer promotion. The names for both flavors were placeholder names due to the leaked renders of the flavor being too low resolution for the flavor name to be discernable.
On December 19th, 2022, PepsiCo filed a trademark for this flavor, revealing its name to be Baja Passionfruit Punch.
On December 28th, 2022, in a r/MountainDew Reddit post, a user named u/Fleezus7 showed high-quality photographs of Cobra Cane, Baja Passionfruit Punch, Baja Caribbean Splash, Summer Freeze with its Zero Sugar variant, a canceled DEWcision 2023 promotion and a prototype Snap'd. Based on the information, the name/flavor is Baja Passionfruit, although its actual name was pending.
In January 2023, a photograph was leaked showing pre-release bottles of both flavors, with Baja Passionfruit having been renamed as Baja Passionfruit Punch.
It was officially released in stores in the United States on June 19th, 2023 for a limited time alongside Baja Caribbean Splash, and was sold in 12-packs and and 20 ounce bottles. Both flavors would be staying until September 9th, 2023, when the Summer of Baja Blast promotion ends.
