Burger King releases a Barbie-themed cheeseburger – but it’s bad news for UK customers

Barbie fever is in full swing – and now, Burger King has released a Pink Burger in honour of the upcoming film.

The limited-edition cheeseburger features a smoky pink sauce, crispy diced bacon and arrives alongside Ken’s Potatoes as well as a Barbie doughnut milkshake when ordered as a meal.

Fans went wild for the new burger after its launch was announced on social media, with one excited Twitter user writing: ‘Hold up. I need to acquire the Barbie burger bundle.’

However, it’s bad news for UK customers because the meal is only available in Brazil, via delivery or eat-in. It’s unclear how much it will cost.

The Ken’s Potatoes are similar to normal fries, but are served in a themed packet, while the pink milkshake is vanilla and strawberry flavoured. The drink is completed with a pink and white striped doughnut, according to the New York Post.

Fast-food fans were quick to comment about the new dish, with one writing: ‘Brazilians win again. Be right back, getting the Barbie Burger.’

Another said: ‘I will be moving to Brazil to buy all of them,’ while a third added: ‘Sorry can’t hang out this weekend. It’s imperative I get the Barbie meal from Burger King and suffer the consequences of my actions.’

However, not everyone was impressed with the burger. One person said on Twitter: ‘Burger King in Brazil just released a new ‘Pink Barbie Burger’ and it is… not great looking. They say the pink sauce is just a ‘pink smoky sauce’, but it still just looks so unappealing to me.’

In photographs of the Pink Burger, it appears to be a typical cheeseburger – but on a closer inspection, customers will be able to see a layer of pink sauce on top of the cheese.

It comes after Burger King sent foodies wild when unveiling another one of it’s latest offerings – a cheeseburger with no meat and 20 slices of cheese.

The American fast-food chain released the unusual bap, which it’s calling ‘the real cheeseburger’, in Thailand.

The dish, which costs 109 Thai baht (or £2.50), is comprised of a bun filled with as many as 20 slices of American cheese.

The diner announced the burger’s release on their official Burger King Thailand Facebook earlier this week, with a post which read: ‘This is no joke. This is for real.’

Many fans of the diner were left divided over the burger on social media, but some have been rushing to get their hands on the unusual offering to try it.

Announcing the news on Sunday, the American fast-food chain posted: ‘Not for fun, this is for real! Real cheeseburger from Burger King! Carrying up to 20 slices of American cheese!!!’

It went on to explain the price had been reduce from 380 baht (around £5) to 109 baht (around £2.50).

The post went on to joke the others cheeseburgers would be ‘screaming’ over the latest release, before encouraging Thai customers to head to their local branch to pick up the offering.

According to CNN, a shift manager was overheard saying its Bangkok store had to stop taking delivery orders so they could save enough Real Cheeseburgers to serve to in-store diners.

Many foodies took to social media to express their shock over the burger - with some left divided over whether they'd like to try it

However many foodies were conflicted over the offering, with one commenting: ‘Burger King Thailand new cheeseburger. Mate, that’s a cheese sandwich.’ 

Another wrote: ‘I would eat the Thai burger king cheeseburger. A fourth wrote: ‘Dear God, no. Just no.’ 

Another commented: ‘I heard about this! I don’t think I could handle one though haha.’ One added: ‘I can’t imagine…’ 

It’s yet to be seen whether Burger King will be releasing the unusual burger in diners across the rest of the world.
