Talk Boy And Talk Girl

We’re all aware of commercials and advertisements. We’ve seen plenty of them already through the years. Sometimes, when a company promotes their product, it ties it in with a popular brand, like a cartoon character, celebrity, or movie. In 1992, people were introduced to just about everyone’s favorite Christmas film, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Throughout the movie, Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister can be seen utilizing an interesting handheld record player for various situations. Although initially conceived as just a film prop, that item, the Talk Boy, eventually made it to the market. Because of its association with the popular movie, the Talk Boy – and its pink variant, the Talk Girl – slowly garnered a skyrocketing degree of recognition on the market, making it one of the most sought-after gadgets of the 1990s.
