Taco Bell Chihuahua Dies, Baja Fresh Offering Free Burritos Today

taco-bell-chihuahua2.jpg Sad news, y'all. Gidget, who we all know as the Taco Bell chihuahua ("Yo Quiero Taco Bell") suffered a stroke and died at age 15. After she retired from her commercial fame, she lived her days in the sun before dying Tuesday night. "She made so many people happy," said Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton. Speaking of Taco Bell, they've also joined the Twittering trend of mobile food trucks, but fear not, they are not in Los Angeles...yet. They'll be here for a few days next week. And in completely unrelated news, Baja Fresh is giving away Burritos today if you buy a drink with this coupon.

Those Taco Bell ads were so fucking racist.

It's a dog that was in a food commercial!

once those commercials got on TV, everyone wanted a chihuahua as an accessory. along with STUPID ignorant fools in my face saying "yo quiero taco bell" and calling taco bell mexican food throughout my adolescent yrs.

fyi - i clicked the like button ONLY for the baja fresh coupon.

always thought that dog was a dude.

I went to two Baja Fresh locations in the valley and they said they were taking no more coupons.

So I went to the Chipotle down the street.
Screw them and their damn burritos.

are you nuts!?! chipotle is awesome.

either the link is wrong or discontinued, but i see no coupon.
