I even found a rather aged one in an old purse that I somehow forgot to eat. I had to chuck that one, what with the lint and all, but I've been hankering after a new one ever since. Somehow they also remind me of ring pops -- probably the Jolly Rancher-esque flavor plus the multipurpose function. All you have to do is review Blow-Pops (or their stickless cousins, Gumdingers), and you'll have covered the trifecta of my non-chocolate youthful candy loves. Well those and the gum that came in the mini-orange juice cartons. I LOVED Whistle Pops! I even found a rather aged one in an old purse that I somehow forgot to eat.

My favorite is the watermelon. Has anybody seen the little life-saver shaped/sized candies that you can whistle through? I've seen them around an Asian market and those things are neat too, though not as tasty. Yay, those things are so much fun. My favorite is the watermelon.

But even though the Whistle Pops didn't give me the musical "oomph" I wanted, they sure did taste good! (However, I have to admit that I tended to choose the Charms Pops over the Whistle Pops, when available, for their size and therefore, my perceived "better deal for my quarter") My problem with Whistle Pops was that I wanted to make a whole lot more notes on them and got tired of the limited musical capabilities!

The whistle always lost, in my case. But it was fun while it lasted! Ah, the whistle vs. candy dilemma. The whistle always lost, in my case. But it was fun while it lasted!
