What Is It?
In 1963 Barbie accessory kits were released called Barbie Baby-Sits and Barbie Slumber Party. The controversy was over a book that came with the set called "How To Lose Weight" with the "wise" advise...."Don't Eat". As if Barbie being 5'9 weighing 110 lbs (as per her included scale) has an 18 inch waist isn't bad enough for a role model to Kids.
What Happened?
Nothing really, it was just considered in poor taste and who knows how many eating disorders it may have caused.
Aftermath?
None, Barbie and Friends have made quite a few missteps along the way.
