We have a little less than a month before Greta Gerwig's Barbie hits the theater and with all the little Easter eggs found in the film's posters and trailer, we just don't know how much longer we can hold out.
The latest detail taking the internet by storm comes from a movie poster featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, as Barbie and Ken of course, in the doll's iconic pink convertible.
Fans noticed immediately that Robbie is holding the steering wheel just as Barbie would.

You know, because Barbie can't bend her fingers.
The masses flocked to Twitter to express their delight in the tiny yet significant detail.

Fans have pointed out many hidden gems in the months leading up to the movie's theatrical release, for example many nods to the classic Wizard of Oz...

\u201chigh, so I made a presentation table of the comparisons between wizard of oz and the new #barbie trailer. #ad\u201d— Devin Berry (@Devin Berry) 1680667217
... and a possible iconic cameo by Barbara Handler—a.k.a. Barbie.
Yes, that one!
\u201cThe Ruth in this scene where Barbie is speaking with an older woman must be referring to Ruth Handler, Barbie\u2019s creator (who, in real life, passed away in 2002). Is she played by Ruth\u2019s real life daughter Barbara Handler Segal (who served as the inspiration for Barbie)?\u201d— Courtney Howard (@Courtney Howard) 1685030701
And featuring a voiceover quote by "Ruth," possibly the doll's late creator, Ruth Handler, Barbara Handler's mother.
🤯
\u201cnoticed this in the captions of the Barbie trailer. \n\nThis character shares the same first name as Ruth Handler, the inventor of Barbie. \n\n#Barbie #BarbieMovie #BarbieTheMovie\u201d— liam (wga strike enthusiast) (@liam (wga strike enthusiast)) 1685036332
