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

Sometimes you crack open an Amazon Mystery Box and find a flat-screen TV hiding under the packing paper. Sometimes you find a 12-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Today was a Baja Blast kind of day.

Our team pulled this box on April 25th, and look — not every box is a banger. That's the honest truth about the treasure-hunt life here in Hot Springs. The vast majority of what came out of this one was bin-labeled merchandise headed straight to our store bins, which honestly isn't nothing. Those bins move fast, and someone out there is going to score something useful for next to nothing.

The Star of the Show: A 12-Pack of Soda

We're not going to pretend otherwise. The single notable pull from this box was one 12-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast Soda Pop 12 fl oz cans, retailing at $4.99. It's already spoken for. (Hint: it did not make it to the sales floor.)

Twenty-three more pieces went into our bins — plus dozens more bin-labeled items heading to our store bins for customers to dig through.

Every box is a gamble. That's the whole point of an Amazon Mystery Box, and we knew that going in. The low boxes make the high boxes that much sweeter, and trust us — Hot Springs, we've had some very high boxes lately. Stay tuned.
