Wow: Thousands of people visited Hello Kitty food truck in Plano

Crowds were so large for the Hello Kitty food truck's one-day-only stop in West Plano that people had to be corralled with orange traffic barricades.

Most waited about two hours for the chance to buy cookies, coffee mugs and T-shirts with the unmistakeable pink and white Hello Kitty character on them.

To say these items are adorable is an understatement.

Even the water bottles are adorned with a hot pink bow.
