No doubt Sanrio had no idea how popular Hello Kitty would become. The character has truly taken on a life of its own.
If there's one thing Sanrio loves, it's doing a brand partnership. That's why I was so excited to see that Hello Kitty is getting her very own meal at McDonald's. The only downside for those in the US is that it's only available in Indonesia.
Frankly, I'm incredibly jealous of those who are able to try it as it coincides with Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary. For being 50 years old, Hello Kitty still looks good.
If you're excited about the meal though, we have all the details as shared in a recent article from HypeBeast.
See this awesome Hello Kitty meal from McDonald's Indonesia!
We'll include the picture from the brand's Instagram below but honestly, I have to talk you through this meal as it's a unique one. Let's start with the biggest seller which is that each product features a design with Hello Kitty on it. Talk about a cuteness overload.
The meal comes with a Beef Propersity Burger which is a burger with cheese and onions. It's pretty standard fare for McDonald's. The only difference is that it's oval rather than round. In addition, each meal includes curly fries and Dragon Fruit Fizz. Sounds like a pretty solid meal for Hello Kitty fans in Indonesia, I know I'd be happy with it.
I really enjoy this idea and I hope that the US will do something similar in 2024. Turning 50 is a huge deal with anyone but Hello Kitty has truly lasted the test of time. There are people who grew up with Hello Kitty and are now sharing her with their families. She's truly an icon in her own right.
It'll be interesting to see who else decides to celebrate Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary but I know it's bound to be a big one. There is just something so undeniably fun and adorable about her so why not show her some love?
