Why is Hello Kitty and Pringles a post on My Kitty Care?

• First, because Hello Kitty is a CAT (despite claims disputing otherwise) and since My Kitty Care says “let’s talk about cats!” we’ll cover just about anything cat.
• Second, Hello Kitty is cute. Well, was cute. Now it’s just another voracious corporation selling any damn thing it can.

An article in the econetimes, a global business journal, recently made the announcement about Hello Kitty and Pringles.

The Hello Kitty brand, owed by the Japanese company Sanrio Ltd.is so successful, it continuously adds items to it’s growing categories of products. This includes collaborating with other familiar brands. Their newest partnership is with Pringles.

Pringles, a potato chip snack, has it’s own mascot, Mr. P. Identified by a striking mustache. Since Hello Kitty will be packaged with Pringles, the Hello Kitty character will don the Mr. P mustache too. Yikes!

There’s two Pringle chip varieties. But have you ever heard of White Day?

Neither have we. White Day is an annual event celebrated in Japan to thank people who’ve received Valentine gifts. Sounds like another manufactured occasion. Anyway, to the Japanese, it’s a valid. For that day, Hello Kitty and Pringles will sell the recognizable Pringles tube, but filled with candy, alongside a Hello Kitty plush toy. These items will be available February 3, via Sanrio’s website.

Sorry Hello Kitty fans, but I’m afraid Hello Kitty has fallen out of favor for My Kitty Care. Contributing to this conclusion is here we have another thing to tantalize kids to eat junk food. Not good, unless you are indifferent to how you make BIG profits.

Doe anyone else share My Kitty Care disenchantment with Hello Kitty? We’d love to know what you think…
