"sanrio" news and stories

Someone please tell me why I have never seen a Hello Kitty Patisserie in the United States. Why? Why?!?

I know. It sounds ridiculous. And I can't believe that when I read about it over on A Hungry Girl's Guide to Taipei, I actually felt the my inner little girlie girl shriek with delight. She many have even clapped her tiny hands together. All of the pastries are adorned in some way with the little mouthless kitty that we all love, whether the image is stamped into the dough, or accessorized with some candy, kitty-shaped confection. The bakery wraps your purchases up and send you off with a giant Hello Kitty bag.

Does it taste good? Who cares? It's Hello Kitty! (But according the Hungry Girl, some were forgetable, while others were "actually pretty tasty").

Though I came across this pretty pink Hello Kitty water cooler on a baby site, I couldn't help but covet it for myself. Sure, I am drawn to all things pink, and I have a special attraction to the mouthless feline, but this water cooler is also a good way to make sure you are getting your eight glasses of water a day because it holds exactly eight glasses. Just fill it up, place it on your desk or counter, and make sure that by the end of the day, it is empty.

Or, you know, you can buy it for your kids.

The Hello Kitty water cooler is $19.99 at Best Buy.
