Yo Quiero....

...Muerta!!!

Gidget the Taco Bell dog dies at age 15

Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell [YUM] ad campaign, died from a stroke the other night at age 15, People.com reports. “She made so many people happy,” said Gidget’s trainer Sue Chipperton . The mostly retired actor lived out her days laying in the sun. “I like to joke that it’s like looking after a plant,” said Chipperton. “Gidget always knew where the camera was.”

don't care who you are or if you like the TB commercials or not...

That dog made TB famous, and made her trainer/owner very..very rich.

Glen Bell, a former Marine, began the chain with his first restaurant in San Bernardino, California. He named it Bell's Drive-in. Glen Bell was 23 when he left the Marine Corps in 1946. He was an avid Mexican food take-out customer... and built the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_bell

In September 1997, Taco Bell used the dog in one advertisement in the Northeastern United States. The positive response to the dog led to the company using it in advertisements across the United States.... The company stopped showing the dog in advertisements in 2000

just cuz i lol'd
Infomercial salesman Billy Mays signed a deal in June 2009 to shoot infomercial-style commercials for the chain, with filming to begin in August.[24] His unexpected death from a heart attack on June 28, 2009 canceled those plans.

Haven`t had Taco Bell in years, but I migh this once in Gidget`s honor. I wonder if they`ll make burritos out of her.

TB started in 62... dog came in from 97-2000... Yes they had successful commercials with the dog but the dog did not make their company famous. They had been around and are still around, even without the dog.
