Why Doesn't Hello Kitty Have A Mouth?

According to sanrio.com (the company who makes Hello Kitty products):

Why doesn't Hello Kitty have a mouth?

Hello Kitty speaks from her heart. She’s Sanrio's ambassador to the world and isn't bound to any particular language.

But according to the host of the late-night QVC show I watched recently, there's an additional reason as well! The host said that Hello Kitty is more relatable to people when she isn't showing a set emotion. Without a mouth, she can appear to be feeling however the person playing with her is feeling.

I can see that. Imagine an emotion and look at Hello Kitty - she could be feeling that way, too.

Clever. :)

  1. What a ghastly sales-speak answer. They'd have been better off just not putting that question up.

    Does language have to do with having a mouth? Cats have mouths! But they have no language!

    And what does speaking from her heart have to do with having no mouth? Is her no-mouth problem compounded by some kind of cardiostomatic disfigurement?
