I was never into the Hello Kitty craze, and I am still not. But for those who are, did you know about the Hello Kitty jumbo jets? And why didn't you tell me?
Created by Taiwan-based EVA Airways, these passenger planes were all Hello Kitty, all the time. This included Hello Kitty detailing on the exterior, Hello Kitty-inspired food, and even Hello Kitty personal body care products. Sadly, the Hello Kitty jumbo jets were taken out of use just recently, but their memory will live with us forever.
