Pringles is teaming up with Sanrio Ltd. to launch several useful items using the Hello Kitty character. It was said that this beloved cat is known to be one of the hardest working characters in Japan as it has already donned various outfits as part of collaborations with popular brands.
As per SoraNews24, this time, Hello Kitty is working with the world-famous potato chip snack brand, Pringles. In this team-up, the cat character is also bringing along Cinnamoroll, her cute puppy friend.
For the crossover, Hello Kitty will be dressing up as Mr. P, the name which the Pringles mascot is commonly known. And this is not all, to complete the look, the popular kitty cat will also be having Mr. P's mustache.
Hello Kitty will be representing the Pringles' original flavor which is packed in the red-colored canister, while Cinnamoroll will be in green which is the potato chip snack's sour cream & onion flavor. All of the items are divided into red and green, so fans to offer customers two color options.
For the White Day, the Pringles canisters are not filled with the usual potato chip snack, but they will be filled with candy instead. White Day is an annual event in Japan where people send gifts to people who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day.
