7 of the Craziest Hello Kitty Brand Extensions

Of all of Sanrio’s cute cartoon creations, Hello Kitty is the most instantly iconic. As the global ambassador for Japanese cuteness, Hello Kitty has become her own brand — and thanks to Sanrio’s promiscuous licensing policy, Hello Kitty products are all over the place.

But beyond stickers, clothes, coffee cups and all of your usual branded kiddie merchandise, Hello Kitty’s mug has made its way onto all kinds of bizarre and unexpected products — and places on the human body.
