Hello Kitty Coffee Cups

Hello Kitty may be known all over the world but here in Japan, Hello Kitty is fully integrated into society. Spend an afternoon on the trains or sitting at a coffee shop and you will see people with Hello Kitty cellphone face-plates, handbags, bicycle bells, and the list goes on and on.

When I moved to Japan several years back, I would chuckle under my breath whenever I saw an adult sporting anything with the Hello Kitty logo. After a couple of girlfriends and becoming accustomed to Japanese society, I have come to appreciate Hello Kitty. Well, perhaps 'appreciate' is not the appropriate term; for me Hello Kitty is dasakawai, Japanese for 'so uncool that it becomes cool again.

Myself, I have collected several Hello Kitty theme minidisc players, a couple of yoyo's, a bicycle bell, and now I can add coffee tumblers to my list.

This particular set of Hello Kitty coffee tumblers are only available in Japan at the convenient mart, Mini-Stop. This is a three cup set and only available through the summer months of 2008. The cups hold about 10 ounces but you are safer to load only about eight and then put on the lid. Regarding the lid, the snap cover does a good job.

Granted, I would have preferred these cups to hold more coffee but hey, it is Hello Kitty and we all know that overrides all else.
