The chihuahua triggered activists who launched a successful boycott against the brand which caused a 6% drop in same store sales in 2000. This is the largest decline in Taco Bell history. This led to the firing of the company’s president and a complete withdrawal of the mascot.
If they would have used a different breed of dog this might have not happened…
I mean a bichon frise saying, “Yo quiero Taco Bell…” is still pretty funny…
