Hello Kitty makes potato chips

I love me some good old potato chips. However, I've never considered making them at home. Why bother when you have them ready and packed for you in stores? But since, I saw this Hello Kitty Potato Chip Maker, I have a different stance on the matter. I want to bring this kitty home and get her to slice some potatoes. I wonder if this qualifies as animal cruelty! It comes in a cute shade of pink and is on auction here. So hurry up!
