The Taco Bell Chihuahua Has Died!!!!!!

The Summer of Death has claimed another legend! The hugely talented and naturally gorgeous Gidget passed away on Tuesday night from a stroke at the age of 15 (73 in dog years). Gidget's trainer confirmed the sad news to People, "She made so many people happy."

Gidget is best known to the world as the one and only Taco Bell chihuahua. A chihuahua named Dinky was the original, but he was quickly replaced by Gidget. Gidget was in several commercials, print ads for Taco Bell and even went on to STAR in Legally Blonde 2 as Bruiser's mom! How she was not nominated for an Oscar for that performance still boggles my mind.

Rest in peace, Gidget! My chihuahua and I will pour out a Pintos 'N Cheese (that doesn't sound right) today in Gidget's honor!

It may have been because nobody is really sure what kind of meat taco Bell uses and it wasn't a good idea for a dog to promote it.

Damn This really is the summer of death. It's getting scary . My puppy is 15 and she's starting to go downhill a little bit. I hate reading that Gidget died. I loved those commercials. My daughter had a set of talking Gidgets from Taco Bell when she was little. RIP Gidget.

Good bye Gidget, Taco Bell just got that much worse.

Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby or a woman to have sugar daddy??
It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services came out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship.
such as ^-^ www.sugarscupid.com ^-^
it’s the biggest sugar dating site for beautiful woman and rich man

How do you convert dog years to human years? What about cats - is it the same?

Honestly who cares about this. I hate chihuahuas anyways and they are being over-bred by backyard breeders almost just as bad as the pit. Every chi I know is not friendly. I hate the breed.

i hate tacos still RIP Gidget.

****HOLD THE FUCK UP****

How does one not like TACOS? Tacos are delicious. I'm not talking about shitty Taco Bell tacos, but like, real tacos, with some cilantro and lime and onion... on a corn tortilla... Fuck yes. I love tacos so much, I want a taco bar at my wedding. Like, seriously... I don't know anyone who doesn't like tacos.

Notoriousrem_22's picture

Oh no, this is too sad. I get the 'Yo Quero Taco Bell' comments from people everyday. 15 is the Chi age to die, this is making me too sad I have to go home and hug mine. :(
Tis indeed the summer of death, wtf is going on?!?
R.I.P Gidget, all dogs go to heaven :)

i hate tacos still RIP Gidget.

Race Bannon's picture

Crazy- I hate the news and not because, like most people say, that it's depressing. I hate the news because it is boring. I am not ignorant (well maybe a tad bit) but I absorb enough info scanning the net, picking up a magazine/newspaper at a coffee hell hole or relying on others to inform me. That is how I roll!LOL!

Dropping in to say HEY. I will come play at Open Post time.

RIP Gidget.

Jill-the-Ripper; How friggin horrible!! That is something I don't think I could ever get over! Truly sorry.

I answered my own question, Carlos Alazraqui is the actor from Reno 911 who voiced "I want Taco Bell".

I have to say, it was the dog's face and his voice that really made the commercials.

I have never had Taco bell in my life, I'm scared of it, for real.

I still haven't gotten over seeing my dog hit and killed right in front of me two years ago.
