What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Mountain Dew & More — April 25, 2026

We popped open an Amazon Mystery Box Friday evening here in Hot Springs, and honestly? This one was all about the journey. Twenty-four items total, with the overwhelming majority heading straight to our store bins — but tucked in there like a reward for our patience was something nobody expected.

Best Find: A 12-Pack of Baja Blast

Yes. A sealed, legit 12-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast Soda Pop, 12 fl oz cans. Cold? No. Surprising? Absolutely. There's something weirdly delightful about digging through a mystery box and landing on a case of Baja Blast. It retails for $4.99 and someone on the team immediately called dibs.

Look, we're not going to pretend this was a high-dollar haul. The estimated retail on the whole box clocked in under $150, and nearly all of that value lives in the 23 bin-labeled pieces headed to our bulk bins for resale. If you've ever dug through our bins, you know there's real treasure in there — you just have to look.

Some boxes roll in stacked with electronics and name-brand gear. This one was quieter. But that's part of what makes the Amazon Mystery Box game so addictive — you truly never know. One day it's a drone, next day it's a Dew. Hot Springs keeps us humble.

Come dig through the bins and see what landed from this one. The Baja Blast, though? That's spoken for.
