Hello Kitty Cocaine

Posted on May 5, 2008 by John

Speaking of Hello Kitty, I heard while listening to NPR‘s radio show “Wait, wait, Don’t Tell Me” this past Sunday, that earlier this April, Guatemalan anti-narcotics police seized 1.2 tons of cocaine wrapped in “Hello Kitty” on its way to Mexico. Maybe the drug smugglers were big fans of Hello Kitty or thought that this would fool custom agents?
