The ad features a brand new pink Barbie donut, an Original donut with light-blue Barbie-themed frosting, and a new Cotton Candy Chiller drink.
Yet the tie-in treats are available at Krispy Kreme locations in the Philippines, not the United States.
"@krispykreme will we be getting these in the US? Because I need it please!!!," the user pleaded yesterday.
Krispy Kreme immediately gave fans hope.

"Stay tuned! You never know what could appear on our menu...," the chain coyly teased.
The chain has yet to officially confirm that the snacks will come to the US.
Krispy Kreme does have some time to get them out before the movie hits theaters.
Barbie is set to be released nationwide on July 21.

The spicy version of the breakfast favorite was only available at select locations, but that changed on June 12.
"The Spicy Chicken Biscuit is a breakfast portion of Chick-fil-A's signature boneless chicken breast, seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers, hand-breaded, pressure cooked in 100 [percent] refined peanut oil and served on a buttermilk biscuit baked fresh in the restaurant," Chick-fil-A said in a release.

The drink mixes Chick-fil-A's Ice Dream ice cream with peaches, whipped cream, and a cherry.
Chick-fil-A also dropped a peach-flavored version of its Sunjoy drink the same day.
The Sunjoy is a combination of ice tea and lemonade.
McDonald's is making moves, too.
