Description
The Wowee Whistle was an orange wax "harmonica", with Halloween--themed label. Seems they're no longer made (although there's a hint that Concord Confections, maker of Wack-O-Wax wax lips may be) -- they should be made if they're not! Nicholas Cage plays one in the film "Valley Girl", as a sort of joke on "playing the blues" -- maybe eventually that'll help revive the Wowee Whistle....

EVERY YEAR AT HALLOWEEN I BEGIN LOOKING FOR THE ORANGE WAX WHISTLES. I REMEMBER PEELING OFF THE HALLOWEEN LABEL AND ATTEMPTING TO PLAY THE WHISTLE, BUT AS SOON AS I TASTED THE FLAVOR, I WOULD BEGIN TO CHEW IT!! PLEASE, SOMEONE, BRING THEM BACK!!! THANK YOU!!!

I remember these and also another type of orange whistle at halloween.....Alot of the old halloween stuff that was great....Has been lost forever. Whish they would bring those back!
I'd buy a whole box just to get one again. We used to eat them, even though that was a dumb thing to do. Don't any of you youngun's out there eat these things. Chewin' would be OK, though. :)
Boy,Charlie Brown would have gone nuts if he got one of these in his Halloween bag. Concord Confections Inc. of Canada, does or was making these again, but no luck yet for me finding them. A real treat at Halloween.
Does any one know if these Whistles are still made.I grew up in the 1960's and theywere 5 cents each . :=)
I'd buy a few cases of the ones with the haunted house on them (or at least an assortment that included the haunted house!
I'm lucky--bought two of these on e-bay (50s version, made by Glenn Confectioners) for less than $25 for the pair. They were in great shape, and are the pride of my collection!
