Oreo Fun Barbie

Although Mattel didn’t mean for Oreo Fun Barbie to be controversial, that’s exactly what she was. This particular Barbie was created due to a tie up with highly famous cookie company, but suffered major slack being that the term ‘Oreo’ has been used as a derogatory term for African Americans who “act white” especially since one of Oreo’s taglines is “black on the outside and white on the inside.” This is just another major example of a Barbie creation gone wrong… very, very wrong.
