\"\"<\/p>\n

Hello Kitty heads to the Golden Arches, the sunny beach, and summer festivals<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the whole world knows Sanrio\u2019s superstar cat as Hello Kitty<\/strong>, that\u2019s actually her nickname. The character\u2019s official \u201creal\u201d name is Kitty White, with her surname likely meant to evoke the snowy shade of her fur.<\/p>\n

However, while she\u2019s always Kitty White, Hello Kitty is also sometimes brown, like in her upcoming batch of McDonald\u2019s Japan Happy Meal toys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Kitty-chan periodically develops a \u201csuntan\u201d while she\u2019s having outdoor fun, with such merch usually showing up in the summer months<\/strong>. So with McDonald\u2019s new Hello Kitty Happy Meals arriving on July 11<\/strong>, right around when the sunshine is strongest in Japan, the first three toys are all suntanned Kitty ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Mini Tray<\/strong> for keeping your snacks off the sand or grass during picnics at the beach or park, and also a Summer Drink Cup<\/strong> for hydration help.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The coolest item, though, in both senses of the word, is the Surfboard Ice Maker<\/strong>, which lets you make frozen popsicle-style treats by filling it with juice and popping it in the freezer to form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n

Kitty\u2019s suntan will have faded by July 18<\/strong>, when the second round of Hello Kitty Happy Meals arrive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Along with a trip to the beach, hitting up the local summer festival is a highlight of summer in Japan, so Kitty-chan puts on her summer kimono for the Yukata Hello Kitty Bag Clips<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The gentle ringing of wind chimes<\/a> has long been thought to have a psychologically cooling effect during summers in Japan, so that\u2019s the form Kitty-chan takes on for the Wind Chime Hello Kitty Spoon and Fork<\/strong> set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But once again, the best of the bunch appears to be the one that helps you make something to eat, the Lantern Hello Kitty Onigiri Maker Shaker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being shaped like the hanging paper lanterns that light up festival venues means that this Hello Kitty is also shaped like an onigiri (rice ball<\/strong>). Scoop cooked rice inside, give it a series of good vertical shakes, and you get a nicely formed rice ball.<\/p>\n

\u25bc It\u2019s an especially useful item if you or your friends\/family are among the people who don\u2019t like eating onigiri that someone formed with their bare hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
