"Hands down the best marketing team": Cold Stone Creamery's Barbie ice cream details revealed as collab leaves the internet in a frenzy

Barbie's marketing has reached the creamy frozen annals of Cold Stone Creamery. The ice cream maker partnered up with the upcoming Barbie movie, to conjure up limited-edition pink cotton candy-flavored treats.

The "All That Glitters is Pink" ice cream and the appropriately named "Best Cake Ever" are only sold in the US. The ice cream and the ice cream cake are currently available to order nationwide until August 8.

Social media went haywire over the product. Under @MadamZeti's viral tweet about the product, people talked about how much they wanted the ice cream while praising the film's marketing team.

The "All That Glitters Is Pink" creation is a pink cotton candy ice cream decorated with Graham Cracker Pie Crust, Dance Party Sprinkles, and a Whipped topping, all served in a pink Babrie-themed cup. The "Best Cake Ever" contains "Layers of moist yellow cake" and pink cotton candy ice cream, alongside dance party sprinkles wrapped in a "fluffy White Frosting."

Vice President of Marketing at Kahala Brands, the parent company of Cold Stone Creamery, Sara Schmillen said:

Twitter goes wild over Barbie ice cream

The Twitter post regarding the arrival of the Barbie-themed ice cream on June 28, by @MadamZeti has amassed over 8.4 million views. The Twitter user even posted a review of the ice cream and called it "pretty good."

Underneath @MadamZeti's tweet, netizens commented their feelings about this new product. Everybody wanted a taste of it and was in haste to get it. Users praised the film's marketing team for a job well done. Some even credited the marketing for getting them to be excited about a movie they did not initially want to watch.
