Rest in Peace Gidget :( I know there is a huge burrito y taco party today at the Rainbow Bridge. Play hard, Little Sweet Girl :(

I really miss her on the commercials. I know it's the best Taco Bell has ever done when she was their star. I have a little bobblehead of Gidget that I keep in the back of my car. She was a cutie. I also have all the Taco Bell Chihuahua dolls. We'll miss you Gidget!!

Rest in peace Gidget.


I remember reading something after they stopped the commercials about it being forced by animal rights groups. It seems people were buying Chihuahuas because of the talking Taco Bell ads. The rescue places were over run with Chihuahuas people abandoned. There were those that actually thought they could talk and when they found out they couldn't they abandoned them.

I just gave my Taco Bell Chi doll a squeeze. I knew she talked, but couldn't remember what she said. "Here - lizzard, lizzard. lizzard". - With an accent of course. ;)

RIP Gidget :love:
