The infamous Hello Kitty has officially made her way into the produce scene. These fabulous feline melons are available from a gourmet specialty shop called Belluna. These limited edition cantaloupes are sure to please Hello Kitty fans everywhere. Is there any industry that cat can't jump into?
Only 300 of these pop culture cantaloupes are being produced, so melon loving pop culture junkies should hurry up and grab one. The only downside to these adorable kitty stamped melons is that they're rather expensive. It's hard to justify dropping more than a few bucks on a cantaloupe.
While the inside of the melon is not currently pink, the team at Belluna is working on that in an effort to glam up this Hello Kitty produce product.
Hello Kitty is printed on clothes, accessories and now even produce. If this seemingly sweet feline is plotting to take over the world, she's off to a great start.
