Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Published on May 2, 2024 Close Photo: Mattel / Olipop Barbie, that eternal icon who has held down over 250 jobs and owns at least two dozen houses, turns 65 this year. To commemorate this major milestone, the toymakers at Mattel have planned several limited-edition releases, like a line of dolls based on “Global Storytellers” including actor Viola Davis, singer Shania Twain, and film director Lila Avilés. Mattel is also collaborating with over 40 different brands to celebrate Barbie, including Heinz UK, Stacy’s Pita Chips, and prebiotic soda company Olipop. On May 1, Olipop officially released its newest flavor, Olipop x Barbie Peaches & Cream. Although Wednesday marked its debut on Olipop’s online store, the Peaches & Cream soda has already been available in some supermarket and other retail chains — and it’s so popular, Olipop says it’s even outselling eggs at the Sprouts chain.
