As a way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hello Kitty — and also make a boatload of cash — the Nordstrom Flagship store in midtown recently opened a Pop Up shop designed with lots of Instagram-able displays and stocked with very overpriced merchandise. I ‘popped in’ last week once the crowds of influencers died down and was charmed especially by this adorable popcorn maker, which you might agree looks quite a bit like This Guy.

Yes, it Exists: Hello Kitty Pink Hot Chocolate (just add hot water!) is a thing that you can buy! With 100% positive on-line reviews from what you know are satisfied customers, the ‘delicious’ taste is described as “like a rich hot cocoa with a subtle hint of coconut.” Sounds yummy to me! Each 1.25 once envelope sells individually for just $1.99, so there no big commitment involved if it ends up not being your thing. But seriously, how can you not love Pink Hot Chocolate?

It’s a Hello Kitty world, and we just live in it. Cost Plus World Market on 6th Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets in Manhattan just re-imagined itself as a Hello Kitty Pop Up wonderland, where Hello Kitty-themed items spread out across the entire merchandise floor, save for a very narrow perimeter of the store, where you can still find throw pillows and scented candle with the Cost Plus brand attached. There are also many step-and-repeat-style Hello Kitty selfie stations scattered throughout the store, so expect to start seeing this marketing nightmare ‘Pop Up’ all over Instagram.

Hello Kitty Pasta Sauce

The red sauce, whose label boasts that it is made from “fresh, ripe tomatoes from Napoli, Italy,” sells for $6.99 per 19.6-ounce jar.  They also sell Hello KItty-shaped dry pasta, but I am saving that for another post.

The Hello Kitty Pop Up at Cost Plus World Market will be open through the Holiday Season  into January 2020!
