A cavalier Taco Bell customer was captured getting more than his share of Baja Blastfilling up a 5-gallon container with the fast-food chains signature drink. The video capturing the heist comes from creator @jweav772, getting more than 1.3 million views in its first four days on TikTok. It starts with a grainy shot of a man at a Taco Bell with a giant duffel bag on his shoulder, at work at the drink dispenser in a public area of the store. While he gets refreshment, a voice intones, Taco Bell didnt know what hit them as a riff from Motley Crues Kickstart My Heart plays. In the final couple of seconds of the 10-second video, the man is shown in a photo taken outside by a car. In his left hand, he holds a Taco Bell cup with a tube attached to the bottom of it. In his right hand, he holds a five-gallon water container that appears to have Baja Blast in it. Putting it all together, it appears the man had the cup in his hand at the dispenser, had the attached tube up his sleeve and then snaking into the water container inside the duffel bag. The caption reads, Bro thought he was slick, and commenters weighed in. This brings me back, one person said cryptically. Another recalled, We used to fill up two liters at jack in the box just to see if they would stop us. Never did just looked confused. That led a commenter to add, Had a friend that just had a random jack n box cup and he just walk a block to refill like everyday n no one said anything lol. Someone added, Gonna need a diy tutorial like now. One person used it to riff on the classic SNL short D*ck in a Box by offering, Step 1: You cut a hole in that cup and Step 2: Put your junk in that cup, another took it a little more seriously. That person counseled, Put a tube in jug lid and cup base thats it.

The video appears to be a paean to a piece of old-school internet lore, Operation Soda Steal. According to Kotaku, In 2008, GameFAQs user EpitaphILIP had an idea: what if, instead of buying a cup of soda at Taco Bell and merely drinking it, he bought a refillable cup, built a contraption leading from the cup to a container hidden in a messenger bag and proceeded to pour a whole ton of Mountain Dew.

Nope it is a recent TikTok. Sure the original plan from GameFAQs was from 2008 but TikTok user went viral last week acting on it which inspired the article.

Gamefaqs used to be the internet scourge back in the day, full of bad motherfuckers, especially the gang that were so bad they had to be confined to LUE.

true. regular Mountain Dew is better. tbh i think pretty much all of the additional flavors beyond original are nothing special.

It was LL. I remember the topic, I may have even posted in it but I don't remember. Of all the shit that went down on LL it's funny that this is the one that went viral.

I would do that if they brought back Mountain Dew Revolution and made it only available at Taco Bell.
