Hello
Kitty, having been branded onto just about every other imaginable consumer
product on this planet, and it is now being used to market beer in Asia.
Consumers in China and Taiwan can now pick
from six fruit-flavored brews, including peach, lemon-lime, passion fruit, and
banana, sporting the cartoon cat on the can. According to beer maker, Taiwan
Tsing Company, the beverage is about half the alcohol content of a Budweiser,
they're not very potent. As Kotaku's publication quoted, "They're so ridiculously smooth and tasty that one
can barely tell they're drinking beer. It's almost like drinking fruit juice,
even if the cans do say 'beer." But to consumers, it is misleading as another alcopop masked as a fruit drink.
