Important Stuff - Meat Whistles Though The Years

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Evolution of The Oscar Meyer Weiner Whistle.

In 1952, Carl Mayer dreamed up the Wienerwhistle as a promotional giveaway. Shaped like an Oscar Mayer Weiner, it could be played like a real musical instrument. At first, Wienerwhistles were handed out by company spokespeople during Wienermobile appearances. In 1958, the whistles were packaged with Oscar Mayer Wieners, and in 1964, they were a sell-out success at the New York World's Fair, dispensed in vending machines for two cents.

Meat Whistles!

Another Intellectual Post Brought To You By Troy Spiral

To the untrained eye, it may look like any ordinary, run-of-the-mill, hot dog-shaped whistle. But, it's not just any whistle...it's the Wienerwhistle Toy! The Wienerwhistle is a full-blown musical instrument that plays a special tune in four notes. The Wienerwhistle has four holes, that's about twice as many as most whistles!

There's one to blow into, one at the side, one at the far end, and one on the top. By covering some of the holes in a special way, you can play a bunch of different sounds like the Wiener Jingle!

Without all obvious skin flute references injected, I bet there aren't very many of these that survived.
