Greenville, SC – A Taco Bell worker in South Carolina unintentionally turned the internet against the chain’s upcoming Baja Blast Pie after posting a behind-the-scenes video that showed just how unappetizing the dessert looked before thawing. The bright turquoise pie, inspired by the brand’s iconic Mountain Dew flavor, has become a viral punchline even before its official debut.
The Incident
Employee Jani Galloway (@janibrooke_) shared a TikTok showing her co-worker trying to slice into the new dessert while preparing food at work. The pie appeared frozen solid, with the knife scraping loudly against the crust.
“Bro, this is like a rock,” Galloway said while laughing in disbelief.
The short clip revealed a vibrant teal custard sitting on a graham-cracker crust, topped with whipped cream. Despite its eye-catching color, the texture looked more like carved ice than anything edible. Galloway later admitted the pie tasted as bad as it looked, describing it as “absolutely horrible.”
Online Reactions
The video quickly exploded online, gaining over 4 million views and spawning thousands of comments. Viewers couldn’t resist roasting the dessert’s radioactive appearance…
