Barbie-inspired meal created by Burger King to mark release of new movie
A burger dressed with a bright pink sauce has been unveiled by Burger King in Brazil as part of a themed meal to herald the release of the new Barbie movie.
The cheeseburger, topped with pieces of bacon, comes with a pink vanilla-flavoured milkshake, a ring doughnut sprinkled with pink frostings, and an order of Ken’s fries.
The meal has received a mixed response from fast-food fans, with some on social media comparing the pink sauce in the burger to “chewed bubblegum”.

It comprises a bun filled with just amounts to a thick slab of cheese and has split opinion, with some calling it “heaven” while others have branded it “revolting”.
