The Barbie doll has been around forever it seems- and while she’s evolved over the years and updated her fashion with all of the latest trends- she’s become a Doctor, an Astronaut, a Lawyer, a Vet… owns a hot pink porsche and of course- the dream house- no one really stopped to think how Barbie paid for all her wonderful clothes and toys! That is, until now. The Cool Shoppin’ Barbie now comes with a must-have accessory- the purse, containing her very own credit card, complete with the MasterCard logo.
What’s Barbie going to buy with her credit card? Anything her little heart desires of course, since Mattel and MasterCard probably haven’t figured out how to mail Barbie a statement demanding payment each month! In order to give Barbie a place to shop, you can of course purchase the Barbie Boutique- complete with a cash register that opens and plays a “Credit Approved!” recording.
Remember the classic Monopoly game from Parker Brothers? Counting out bills and getting all nervous when you only had the small bills left and you still had to make it around past your opponents hotel properties before you’d make any money! Well, those days are just about over. Monopoly is issuing all new versions of the famous board game, and this time- there will be none of the multi-colored play money. Instead, players each receive a plastic Visa card, and the game includes a “credit card reader” to help you get your paycheck direct deposited and to make payments when you land on someone else’s property or want to purchase your own.
