The whistle itself is identical to the one in the picture but the packaging is different than the one in the picture in that has writing on it that is supposed to be there that says it was made for Kraft Foods, etc and someone wrote neatly in a Sharpie on the side of the packaging writing that is not supposed to be there of the name “Abigail” but it is still new, sealed with it never having been opened, a great deal if you just wanted a new, sealed whistle for yourself and so just ...wanted to open it and throw the packaging away…or if it is a gift for someone you know named Abigail.
Whistle is pealess. It’s a four-note whistle (so a whistle that’s capable of making 4 different notes) and you always blow in the hole on the far end that’s the closest to the sticker and you never cover or blow through the hole that’s in the form of a notch on the side of the whistle and to say “Os-car May-er” you first cover both of the other 2 holes then blow, then just cover the far hole (on the opposite side of where you blow through) then blow, then cover no holes then blow, then cover just the top hole then blow. This tune is what was heard in the 1960s Oscar Mayer advertising and playing this tune is guaranteed to bring smiles all around even to those that have never heard it before.
The second picture is of the manual that shows how to play the tune (manual not included) and the other side of the manual is blank except for saying “Recommended for ages 36 months and older.”
Even if you haven’t seen the Wienermobile in real life so you can’t say “I saw it!” you still can get the Wienermobile whistles (sometimes called Wienerwhistles) that Hotdoggers (recent college grads hired to drive the Wienermobile for a year) hand out here, and then you can “Just whistle!” but with no guarantee that the Wienermobile will then pull up.
The newest mine could be is from the 1990s, so they are the vintage style, which is the best style because the non-vintage ones have writing on both sides of the whistle (in the form of raised plastic), with technical information like when they were made and where and for whom, which makes them less like a model of the actual Wienermobile since it does not have writing on the sides there and so slightly takes away from the wonder with the unneeded technical information and one of the silly things about it is all of that technical information is already on the bags of the non-vintage ones. The non-vintage ones are also a slightly darker color of red which does not look quite as good as the color just seems a bit off. The stickers on the vintage ones and non-vintage ones are also slightly different but each looks about just as good as the other. The non-vintage ones also have a notch in the packaging and while that does make them easier to open it overall is not as good of a packaging as then they are not sealed and it’s not like the vintage ones’ packaging is all that hard to open as most people have easy access to a pair of scissors. For the Wienermobile whistles that come with a manual (which I also sell) and for the glow in the dark Wienermobile whistles (which I also sell) the vintage style for those whistles is the only type in existence.

While this whistle is designed more as a party whistle it could also be used as a survival whistle and can be used if you want to build your own survival kit.
The sound from a whistle can be heard over a longer distance than yelling and a whistle takes less energy to use than yelling. A whistle is a signal device that works day or night and works in all types of weather. The international whistle signals are: Three bursts with a pause means "I need help", two bursts and a pause means "come to me", and one burst and a pause means "where are you?". You can also use a whistle to signal with Morse code, the most famous code is SOS (which means “I need help”) which is also an international code and it consists of: dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot ( . . . - - - . . . ) and for a whistle translates to three about three second long bursts, then three about six second long bursts, and then three about three second long bursts, then a pause.
A pea is a little ball inside the whistle about the size of a pea and a whistle with a pea makes an annoying rattling sound when on your person but has a more shrill sound when blown.
