Despite this release, no 16-ounce cans of Baja Blast were to go alongside the two. The American release of Baja Blast also had a massive design overhaul, which still has yet updated for the Canadian version, a design unchanged since 2019. Halfway through the season, Baja Punch was later released in 20-ounce bottles for a limited time, no longer as a specific store exclusive. Several leaks confirmed the drink's store release, as well as its release timing. It was eventually officially confirmed that it would be rolling out in stores on May 5th, 2014, and remained available for the summer until October that year. The Dew Drinker Discord server has continuously leaked information regarding Baja Blast's re-releases months in advance.

Until Baja Blast's first official market release in the summer of 2014, many people had speculated on the internet whether such a release would ever take place, and numerous images of fake bottles had circulated over time. Baja Blast was an instant hit amongst Taco Bell consumers and Mountain Dew fans alike, leading to a massive cult following in the following years. Promotion of the flavor increased considerably as a result, and the drink's popularity eventually resulted in a retail release in bottles and cans in 2014. The drink has been a recurring staple of Mountain Dew's retail lineup ever since, frequently releasing as part of their summer lineup, plus turning into a permanent flavor in January 2024. Baja Blast was rereleased once again in Summer 2019. However, its limited-time release window was reduced to make room for another limited-time patriotic summer drink, Liberty Brew and other summer flavors eventually. It was released in stores for a limited time on March 11th, 2019, until Early-June 2019.Baja Blast's name originates from Baja California, a Mexican state off the southern coast of California. The state is known for its countless beaches.

There are also KFC/Taco Bell combined restaurants, where both restaurants' exclusive Dew flavors, Baja Blast and Sweet Lightning, are available. Baja Blast has a very similar name to Maui Burst, Dollar General's Franchise Exclusive flavor which initially released in 2019. Both have a similar ring in their names, although this is likely just a coincidence. The “bold, citrus“ malt-based drink made its US debut in February 2022 with an abv of 5% and zero sugar.Similar to 2021 by looks and release, PepsiCo released two new flavors, Baja Mango Gem and Baja Gold, alongside the 2022 re-release of Baja Blast. Baja Gold is a pineapple flavor, while Baja Mango Gem has a mango flavor.

In early December 2018, a zero-sugar variant of Baja Blast returned to Taco Bell restaurants, replacing an underperforming flavor, Spiked (Lemonade) and rebranded under a new name: Baja Blast Zero Sugar. It was released to Taco Bell locations nationwide by March 2019. Baja Blast is one of the prime interests in the classic YouTube prank video " Operation: Soda Steal," as it was still a Taco Bell exclusive drink in 2008 when the video was made. In the summer of 2021, PepsiCo released two new flavors, Baja Flash and Baja Punch, alongside the 2021 re-release of Baja Blast. These two new flavors and future flavors contained unique tropical flavors with Baja Blast-Esque undertones. Baja Flash is inspired by the popular pineapple-coconut drink Piña Colada, and Baja Punch is a tropical fruit punch flavor, with strong notes of cherry and orange. The first Baja companion flavors, Baja Flash and Baja Punch, were originally called " Baja Blast Pineapple Punch" and "Baja Blast Tahitian Twist." These names were scrapped, potentially due to their long length as well as "Tahitian Twist" being overly similar to the Canada Dry drink " Tahitian Treat." In the Summer of 2022, shortly after the American release of Baja Gold and Baja Mango Gem, Baja Gold was released nationwide in August 2022 in 20-ounce bottles. However, its companion flavor Baja Mango Gem was not released alongside it.Following the success of Baja Blast, the citrus punch flavored Sangrita Blast was exclusively released to Taco Bell restaurants in December 2013 in the United States, alongside Diet Baja Blast. The drink remained at Taco Bell locations until 2017, when it was discontinued, possibly due to low sales. Baja Blast was released in early summer of 2021, alongside its Zero Sugar variant, Baja Flash and Baja Punch. The 100 Days of Baja promotion also took place, running until September 2021, when the drinks and the promotion were discontinued.
