Operation Soda Steal was a 2008 engineering project to siphon the drink Baja Blast in bulk from Taco Bell, where it was then exclusively available.[1] It was primarily organized by video gamers, and was successful in getting 2 gallons of Baja Blast.[2][3]
Background
The idea began on GameFAQs, with a user called EpitaphILIP. EpitaphILIP bought a refillable cup and made a device to extract Mountain Dew from the soda machine at Taco Bell by taking the cup home, removing some of its bottom, and gluing a tube to the removed area. He filmed the event with a digital camera, and was concerned about facing repercussions for it, as he was unsure of its legality.[4]
