Did you know that Hello Kitty was originally introduced in Japan as a vinyl coin purse? Today, it will take more than a small bag to fill her accomplishments. And speaking of luggage, Hello Kitty was recently named the tourism ambassador of Japan. A fortunate promotion, which has kept her thoughts away from her lost love Dear Daniel who had to go to Africa with his parents. And if not, she can always comfort herself with her favorite food, Mama’s apple pie. And while we are on the subject of apples, did you know that Hello Kitty weighs the same as 3 apples and is as tall as 5 apples.
