I scream, you scream, we all scream for Mountain Dew Baja Blast ice cream!

Taco Bell’s long-running, bright-green drink is getting a fun twist in honor of its 20th anniversary. 

Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, reward members can score Baja Blast gelato via the app. The frozen treat is a tropical lime-flavored dessert infused with Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

When customers order, there is a limit of four gelato cups per order and they are unavailable for delivery.

Mountain Dew Baja Blast gelato was first introduced in 2023 — but only in one Southern California location. This time the neon green dessert is available at Taco Bell locations nationwide but still in “very limited quantities,” per a press release.

Along with Taco Bell's icy addition, the brand is also dishing out a deal. Rewards members can snag a medium Baja Blast fountain drink or regular-sized Baja Blast Freeze for just $1 every day from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. through the end of 2024. 

In more celebratory news, Mountain Dew has a special deal for soda sippers in one particular part of the country.

Now through Dec. 31, the soda brand is giving anyone who crosses into the Mountain Time Zone in the next four months a free Mountain Dew.

Travelers who pass through that part of the country can earn a voucher for a free 20 oz. Mountain Dew in any flavor. All fans have to do is register ahead of their travels on WelcometoMTNTime.com. Then, once in the time zone, the registered people must revisit the website to score the coupon. There is a limit of one free soda per registered email.

Another drink has created quite a buzz on social media recently.

On Aug. 29, Capri Sun fans ran amok with rumors that the brand was replacing their signature pouches with plastic bottles. But Capri Sun clarified to PEOPLE that "the pouch is here to stay."

The rumor started when Instagram account @snackolator posted a photo of bottled Capri Sun in three flavors. Fans jumped to conclusions, flooding the post with comments that the new bottles were replacing the pouches.

"After seeing fans’ panic to the news, the brand behind the No. 1 kids’ drink in America is reassuring everyone that the pouch is here to stay in a truly epic way," a representative for Capri Sun told PEOPLE. "Rolling out exclusively at Walmart next week, Capri Sun is launching a pallet of 3,800+ Capri Sun pouches for purchase, ensuring no one misses out on their fave drink."
