It’s Barbie’s world and you’re not escaping it.

Pink, in all its rosy hues, has seeped into seemingly every aspect of our lifestyle — from shoes, clothing, candles and furniture to burgers, pasta and even Barbie sushi. Just this week, a restaurant in Los Angeles debuted a vegan “Barbie roll,” created using pink soy paper.

According to Circana, the week the movie hit theaters, Barbie products accounted for six of the top 10 doll items sold. In the cookware market, the report said dollar sales of pink products grew 27% in the second quarter versus the same period a year ago, and surged 652% compared to the second quarter of 2019. In footwear, unit sales of pink sneakers for adults grew 15% in the second quarter versus a year ago.
