Recipe Introduction

The first Barbie came in a black and white swim suit with the full name "Barbie Roberts" on the box. She was introduced in 1959 at a New York toy fair and got mixed reviews. No one guessed she would be the most successful toy ever produced. Mattel sells over 1.5 million dolls every week - that's two dolls per second. Over the last 40 years, 90% of all American girls have owned a Barbie. Nobody knows how many have gone on diets trying to match this unrealistic image that is only a toy.
