What everyday items remind you of the TMNT?

Nintendophile · 05-01-2012, 11:36 PM

I thought of this as I was taking a shower this morning. I opened up a new bottle of soap, and it was bright lime green. I immediately thought "It's OOZE!"

So, what are some everyday items that remind you of the Ninja Turtles? (Besides pizza.

) It can even be a personal association, too. Maybe you ate Cap'n Crunch every Saturday morning while watching the Turtles, so now Cap'n Crunch reminds you of them. Share your stories!

(Side-note: The soap was "Axe Twist". Has a nice scent, plus the bonus of getting to pretend to slime yourself with ooze.

)

Ha! That is some slick looking shampoo. I bet you could make a killing on eBay if you bottled it up in reproduction TGRI canisters to sell to TMNT fans. I might have just given ThinkGeek their next product idea.

This is kind of lame and obvious, but whenever I see manhole covers I think of TMNT. Same goes for pre-9/11 pics of the NYC skyline.

I don't know if there's any common, everyday objects that remind me of TMNT, but I definitely think of the Turtles when listening to certain types of music, like old school hip hop, r&b & some early '90s pop. Like anything by Technotronic or Cathy Dennis, for example, since they were on the soundtracks.

The usual - manhole covers, turtles in general, any mention of "sewer" or any other Turtle terms (their weapons, pizza, etc.). Also: burchos.

Whenever I hear MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" or Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice, Baby" I think of the Ninja Turtles since both pop stars have done songs for the movies.

shezcrafti · 05-02-2012, 09:52 AM

Yo Vanilla, kick it one more time boyeeeeeee...

Uh, sorry about that.

Stingray69 · 05-02-2012, 10:05 AM

Anyone hear the version of ice ice baby he sang with korn?

*Zachatello00* · 05-02-2012, 10:22 AM

what reminds me of the tmnt in everyday objects? Broom handles, those candles that hook together on a string that look like nunchucks, big butcher knives, my wife's make up mirror (looks like a turtle com), Green SUV's...

Yeah. I think I had some kind of compilation CD from the late '90s/early '00s that had that song, plus Limp Bizkit, Faith No More & others. Those were my drunken college days, so I don't remember it too well.

More importantly, have you ever heard Roll 'Em Up from Vanilla Ice's regrettable comeback phase?

*Mr.Turtle* · 05-02-2012, 10:48 AM

The nunchuck candle, my brother cousin and I used to get in trouble all the time with those. My aunt had a fancy mirror in her living room with a bunch of them hanging from it. We used to grab them and use them as nunchucks and she would flip on us. Haha

Containers that you put your stuff in at the bank's drive up. They look like the containers that hold the ooze/mutagen.

*zkarlette* · 05-02-2012, 12:21 PM

The Naked juice smoothie called" green machine ". Looks like the ooze but it's actually pretty good.

Exactly ! I honestly don't know how else they could have come up with that name.

When I was just a little boy (I'm a big boy now) I was once sitting with some cousins in the back of my uncles van, which had orange carpet. I pulled out one of the carpet strands and anthoer one was attached to it with some glue or something and it looked just like little nunchucks.

Ha! I'm totally going to think that from now on. Drive-through banking just got cooler.

How much you want to bet that's an intentional nod to the TMNT?
