Barbie..
In 1965, Mattel came out
with Slumber Party Barbie.
Along with the Barbie doll, the package also came with pink fuzzy
bathroom slippers, a scale that read 110 pounds, and a book
entitled: “How to Lose Weight” whose contents read, in
entirety, “Don’t Eat” (it was much easier to get
a book deal in 1965). Apparently that upset some folks for A)
Saying the fact that you weigh 110 pounds means you still need to
lose weight, B) For a book telling girls not to eat, and C)
Expecting girls to know how to read
books.

• If Barbie were an actual women, she would be 5'9"
tall, have a 39" bust, an 18" waist, 33" hips and a
size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a "full figure" and likes her
weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5'9" tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would
have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She
likely would not menstruate.
