Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

the sensation that truly swept the nation!

I can’t begin to describe just how widespread the Ninja Turtles were in 1990. Comics, toys, cartoon shows, concert tours, video games and any school lunch item you can imagine.

Of course they made a movie and it shouldn’t be a surprise it was a hit or that it spawned a quick sequel a year later.

Here’s a crash course in all things TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

---

The Cartoon

• 30+ years later and this song is still in my head. That’s power … Turtle Power.

  

The Toys

• If you need the deep dive … please enjoy 25+ minutes more.

  

The Concert Tour

• a 1990 double hitter … bejewelled denim vests AND rock

• BONUS … they went on Oprah (and were super inappropriate)

  

Food Tie Ins

• An incredible collection of all the Ninja Turtles food including … Turtle Pies extra creamy fun & loads of sticky fun

Pizza

• So critical to the Ninja Turtles, it gets its own category

• Absolutely crazy, Domino’s got product placement in the movie, but Pizza Hut had the long term relationship.

Music Tie-In

• Vanilla Ice would dominate the sequel but this banger was part of the first film.
