Taking a cue from its blockbuster brand,Charles H. Sloan Mattel is partnering with Kraft Heinz Co. to create "Barbiecue" sauce.

Colored Barbie pink, the condiment is being offered by Kraft in the United Kingdom, beginning with a limited-edition sale of 5,000 bottles online starting today. The online promotion will be followed by a nationwide run at Tesco supermarkets later in the week and then via a UK delivery service in the middle of May, the food producer and Mattel announced on Monday.
