"Yo quiero Taco Bell"

[SkinsFanLarry]

Gidget the Chihuahua, whose Taco Bell commericals made her a star, has died. She was 15.

Gidget was the sassy mascot in Taco bell commercials from 1997 to 2000. While other dogs had bit parts, it was her bug-eyed, big-eared face that is seen pronouncing, in a dubbed male voice, "Yo quiero Taco Bell," Spanish for "I want Taco Bell."

Gidget also had a role in "Legally Blonde2."

I would say that she was significant in the fact that she started a Chihuahua fad. While that breed tends to be a bit too nervous for my taste, there are still a lot of Chihuahua fans out there.

Heard this on the radio this morning.

That dog and those commercials were a significant part of pop culture in the late 90s.

I remember when those commercials first came out, I laughed my ass off. That dog made a lot of bucks for tis owner.

Gidget owed it all to one person, the person that opened the door for her....Spuds Mckenzie!
