Sad news coming out of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, last night the world’s coolest Chihuahua passed away. Gidget, the star of the “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” commercials died from a stroke Tuesday night.
From 1997 to 2000, Gidget was the most famous dog on the planet, knocking former famous spokesdog Spuds McKenzie off the pedistal with a series of commercials that not only made the chalupa mainstream but also unleashed a maelstrom of merchandise like we’ve never seen before. Bobbleheads, t-shirts, stuffed animals and more, all reminding the world that they should stop off at Taco Bell.
Via con Dios little Gidget. You will be missed.
