Did you know …
That Taco Bell’s famous talking chihuahua from the “¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!” campaign is responsible for curing a form of canine hepatitis? It’s true!
Can’t you just picture him wearing a tiny lab coat, working over miniature test tubes and petri dishes? SO CUTE!! Professor Puppyhead is what I’d call him, and he has a PhD in bein’ adorable!
Of course, that’s not how it worked in reality. Even if they make chihuahua-sized lab coats (they might), it’s still a preposterous notion that a chihuahua could design and carry out medical experiments like that. What happened was the chihuahua caught a bacterial form of hepatitis after having sex with a stray cat. Shortly afterwards, it was euthanized and dissected (the dog, not the cat—the cat was never found), and the knowledge that researchers gained from the infected chihuahua’s organs allowed them to formulate an effective treatment for the disease. So, you see, it’s more or less accurate to say that lil’ Yo Quiero was responsible for curing canine hepatitis!
