When you think of slumber parties, you may think of gossip, movies, pampering and all of the junk food. However, that was not exactly the case when Mattel released their 1965 Slumber Party Barbie. The doll came with a pink satin pajama set, pink curlers and a scale set to only 110 lbs. Critics complained that the scale was too unrealistic given Barbie’s translated real-life height. But what was the icing on this cake was a book which was also included with the doll—a book titled: How To Lose Weight, with one simple direction: Don’t Eat! Don’t eat? Wow, some slumber party!
