Description
ITS AN ORANGE COLORED WAX WHISTLE THAT USUALLY CAME OUT AT HALLOWEEN TIME. IT TASTED LIKE BEEMANS GUM WHEN YOU CHEWED IT. IT WAS ABOUT 1/2 INCH THICK AND ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG AND LOOKING AT IT FROM THE TOP VIEW IT WAS ABOUT 2 1/4 INCHES WIDE AND TAPERED DOWN TO ABOUT 1 INCH AT THE OTHER END.

Wax whistles... Yummy!!!!! What I wouldn't give to have one right now.... Those things rocked. Every Halloween I would end up buying at least five, along with wax lips. I would give $5 for a good, fresh wax whistle now. Can still get the wax lips.
AWWWW the wonderful orange wax whistle. We would get at least 2 or 3 at Halloween time, plus the wax lips. Beeman's gum is exactly the flavor. I read somewhere that they were called "Wowee" Whistles? Wish they would make a comeback!!!
I used to get them every Halloween season. The ones I remember had different stickers on them. I only bought the haunted house ones.
so does anyone make a wax whistle?
I wish they still made these even though they never worked.
I remember these whistles too! Mine worked though. I used to drive my parents crazy with it. I wish they would make them again.
I have been searching for over forty years for another orange whistle. I thought they were pan pipes. You could break each note off and play them separately! I am glad to run into others who remember this, my favorite candy
My only other contenders for favorite childhood candy memory are those giant SweetTarts and Smartees. They were about four ounces of tongue scrapin goodness.
Loved the Wowe-e Wax Whistle.
You can purchse wax mustaches now.
I miss these also. Never had a problem with mine working.. as long as I didn't take a bite of a prominent area. :-)
Not only did our local general store have the whistles, they had lips, mustaches, fingernails, and fangs. Those were the days, early 60's through the 70's. The fingernails were my fav but I sure wish I had a wax whistle.
I've been looking for the Waxed Orange Whistles for years and cannot find any. I would give anything to find them once again. One for me and one for my granddaughter
I am chasing these whistles-I am going to see if Concord Confections is bringing them back - Love the web-you can find things! I NEED the wax harmonica-whatever you want to call it! I would buy a bunch!
wow I remember the good old days Waxed lips WHISTLES:) And Double ended lolly pops I also recall a pack of gum.. It was basicly white but had rows of pastel diamond shaped lines going dowm the pack
