Taco Hell Giving Away 100 Sh*tty NBA Mugs You Don't Want. Who Cares How to Win?

Taco Bell and Mountain Dew are celebrating 20 years of diabetes and diarrhea with a blast of Baja. Yes, you heard that right, fellow mouth-breathers. On Tuesday, 100 lucky diabetes patients will receive a Baja Blast Stanley Cup, a glorious reminder of their inevitable kidney failure. Cheers to that!

Taco Bell and Mountain Dew Are Basically Engaged After 20 Years of Dating

In what can only be described as the most boring engagement announcement ever, Taco Bell and Mountain Dew are finally celebrating their 20-year courtship with a "Bajaversary." Cringe.

To commemorate this thrilling union, Taco Bell is giving away a bunch of crap through their app, including a Stanley Cup tumbler. I mean, who doesn't want to drink their Mountain Dew out of a Stanley Cup? Too bad only the first 100 losers to claim this offer will get one.

But wait, there's more! The first 20 pathetic souls to redeem these tumblers will also receive a $200 gift card to Taco Bell because nothing says "congratulations" like a year's worth of digestive issues.

"For two decades, MTN DEW BAJA BLAST has been the drink that loyal fans just can't get enough of," said Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco Bell. "We're extremely proud of the synonymous, iconic duo Taco Bell and BAJA BLAST have become."

Umm, has this person tasted actual good soda? Like the kind without food coloring?

Anyway, for those of you who aren't app-savvy or just don't give a crap, there are still ways to participate in this lackluster promotion. Starting Sept. 3, rewards members can try the Baja Blast Gelato, a tropical lime-flavored treat that will probably give you brain freeze.

Every day from 2 to 5 p.m., you can also get a $1 medium Baja Blast or a regular Baja Blast Freeze. No membership or app required, just your dignity. And, if you're masochistic enough to dine-in at Taco Bell, you can enjoy free refills all year round.

As if this celebration of mediocrity wasn't enough, Taco Bell plans to keep the pain going by introducing a Baja Blast Pie later this year. Yay...
