In the world of TikTok milkshake videos, people are trading the Grimace shake for the Barbie shake. In anticipation of the Barbie movie coming out later this month, Cold Stone Creamery has released some Barbie-centric treats that have become part of the latest TikTok trend.
The ice cream chain partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures and Mattel to launch the Pink Cotton Candy ice cream flavor, which is used in the All That Glitters Is Pink Creation and the Best Cake Ever. And we can only assume that TikTokers are using the new cotton candy flavor to craft this viral Barbie shake.
Most of the trending videos follow the same template: someone takes a sip of the Barbie shake, does a twirl, and gets overtaken by a Barbiecore aesthetic. Perhaps there's a wig, a pink dress, or even heels.
It's sort of like the opposite of the Grimace shake trend, where people pretend that the shake is making them violently ill and sending them into convulsions. Instead of causing you to spit up a purple milkshake, the Barbie shake makes you fabulous.
What do you think the next TikTok trend will be? A new shake or something Barbie?
