Secrets About Home Alone That Make The Movie Even Better
Home Alone started the Talkboy
In Home Alone 2, Kevin uses the Talkboy to slow down his voice and make it sound like it was his father on the phone. He did this to fool The Plaza Hotel into giving him a suite without any parent with him.
When kids saw what the device did, they wanted one too but they didn’t exist at the time. From this, Tiger Electronics jumped at the prospect and began manufacturing the devices. Talkboys were a runaway success and started flying off the shelves.
