Awe poor little thing, I so loved all those commercials and have quite a few collectables when it was main stream back in the day until they pulled all the ads cause people where complaining that Mexico should'nt be depicted as a chihuahua selling tacos.

But anyways...

I do have a funny story though when those commercials were big, I am a big chihuahua lover and have had one named Tito, sadly he's past on now, had him for 15 years but we have a little girl now named Chi-Chi and she's only 2, but the story involves Tito, I actually went to a Taco Bell with him thorugh the drive thru and hunched myself back in the seat so when I ordered my meal on the other end through there monitors it looked like my chihuahua was ordering cause I had him up on the steering wheel, when I got to the pay window everyone was laughing and the manager gave me my entire meal free just for making him and his employees day.

My Huahua's

Tito

Chi-Chi

Noooooooo! I used to have a little stuffed animal toy that said "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" when you squeezed it.

That's right, Spuds MacKenzie, played by a female called, of all things, Honey Tree Evil Eye. That dog passed away back in 1993.

Oh, yeah. It was Spuds (not Bud)! I remember he/she went on tour.

Same thing happened to the loveable Frito Bandito. I thought he was funny but Ricardo Montalban didn't think so and got the kaibosh put on him. What do you think, Jorbex?

Ai Yi Yi Yi, I am the Frito Bandito!
I like Fritos Corn Chips. I love them I do.
I want Fritos Corn Chips. I'll get them from you.
Ai Yi Yi Yi, Yes, I am the Frito Bandito!
Give me Fritos Corn Chips and I'll be your friend.
The Frito Bandito you must not offend.

Double standards are amazing! In his later years he had NO problem exploiting Christianity, hawking Nativity Stones.

"What makes Nativity Stones" so incredible is that they are from inside the cave and within feet of the star marking the actual site of Christ's birth..."

...and HE'S offended by a cartoon!
