Submitted by Peach Bo

If it involves making noise and pissing off parents, it’s guaranteed to be an epic win! Now that we’re older, they also make great party conversation starters, as demonstrated here:

» 23 Blasts From The Past

  1. RandomPyro says:

    YES!!!! I loved those. I remember at Kids camp the snack stand sold those. as soon as soon as the evening session was out, it was a rush to the snack stand and soon there was a chorus of high pitched random notes. it was awesome when one of the councilers bought one and could actually play a song on it.

    • Stick says:

      Nice, my camp store sold those giant pixie sticks. (The one’s as long as your arm.) But then they’d have us playing night games until 2 in the morning so the sugar high all worked out I guess.

  2. boaks says:

    haha, I just had a reward day for my elementary orchestra, and these were the favorite prizes of all the ones I gave out!

    • Rohvannyn says:

      Oh wow, I loved those, but only got to eat maybe one or two. I remember always looking for them at the store, and the store never selling them. And then there was rock candy and bulk bubble gum, but those are other entries.

    • Vi31 says:

      I teach orchestra too, boaks. I’ve also given these as treats.

    WAR DAMN EAGLE, baby!

    As an Auburn graduate and a fan of whistle pops, this video is lovely.

    Bodagetta bodagetta, rah, rah, rah,
    sis boom bah,
    weagle, weagle, war damn eagle,
    kick ‘em in the butt big blue!

    Roll Tide :)

  5. velcrodots says:

    We had these, but they were melody pops. Used to drive mum up the wall with them ;)

  6. magicgravy says:

    Yeah!
    War Eagle!
    That was an awesome and random reference to my home town. Pretty sweet!!!

    Go girl, keep practicing, maybe you’ll play at a game someday.

  7. dalek caan says:

    I loved these! They always reminded me of Toot Sweets from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

    • Anonymous says:

      As soon as I saw this I thought of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang too! Don’t have my parents any longer…but would love to see the expression on the faces of the cats – where can I buy these..or like all good things, have they been discontinued?

  8. BAW says:

    Inspired, probably, by the ‘Toot Sweets’ from Ian Fleming’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

  9. veentage says:

    these were indeed epic. i miss them =[

  10. D.R. says:

    Those were so much fun! Anybody try to play songs?

  11. Grace says:

    YES! War Eagle!!

  12. Bryonia says:

    ooooh… I had forgotten all about those. :)

  13. Demi says:

    I use to LOVE these things!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Andi says:

    Haha, I loved these but there was definitely a point my parents started refusing to buy them for us.

  15. Dadoodledoo says:

    I’m still young, and the whistle pops i annoyed people with are the first ones’ great grandchildren. The blue ones? I think.
