Arnold Schwarzenegger: to some he was governor, to many he was the Terminator, and to us he was Howard - 90s suburban workaholic dad chasing down the elusive Turbo Man action figure for his son on Christmas Eve.
This week, Eric, Sam (travel vlogger and veteran TTTH guest from the McDonald’s Happy Meal Toy episode!) and I take you back to 1996 when Jingle All the Way first hit theaters and Tickle-Me-Elmo was the real-life Christmas toy craze. So spike your eggnog and get cozy as Team Turbo Man saves the day with a much-deserved gift of 90s holiday season nostalgia (accessories sold separately, batteries not included).
