The signature pink sauce, which was previously featured in the SpongeBob-inspired BK combo, will now be incorporated into the Barbie-inspired Burger King combo as well. The combo includes the Pink Burger, Ken's Potato, and Barbie's Shake. The Pink Burger is served on bread with cheddar cheese, diced bacon, beef, and smoked-flavored pink sauce.

Furthermore, the milkshake contains vanilla ice cream and strawberry Nesquik. A pink doughnut is then placed on top of the shake and all the items come packed in a Barbie themed-bag.
