Reviving A Classic: Your Chance to Relive the Magic
Why We Brought Back the Wowee Chewing Gum Whistle
"Bring back the wax whistle”- that simple statement inspired us to revive this beloved confection. The Wowee Wax Whistle is more than just a treat; it’s a memory, a tradition, and a piece of candy history. After months of research, countless trials, and a deep dive into the original recipe, we’ve recreated the WoWee Wax Whistle as close as possible to what you remember from fifty years ago.
Original Size and Shape
Experience the nostalgia of the Wowee Wax Whistle - now brought back in its original size and shape. Just like you remember, each whistle is carefully crafted to match the look, feel, and sound of the classic treat.
The label is made from authentic cardboard, and the whistle’s iconic eight chambers are ready to play your favorite tunes before you enjoy the wintergreen freshness. We’ve worked tirelessly to recreate the recipe and design so that every detail feels just right down to the satisfying chew and the way the wax turns white after you’ve enjoyed it.
A Piece of Candy History
The Wowee Wax Whistle traces its roots back to the early 20th century, originally created by John W. Glenn of Glenn Confections in Buffalo, NY.
Over the years, it became a staple of Halloween celebrations and corner stores, cherished for its playful design and wintergreen taste. Though production stopped for decades, the magic of the Wowee Wax Whistle never faded from memory. Today, we honor that legacy by bringing back a candy classic that’s ready to be enjoyed by all ages.

What Our Facebook Groups Are Saying
Our Facebook groups are buzzing with excitement as fans share their memories and anticipation for the return of the Wowee Wax Whistle.
I remember getting those every Halloween at the Deering Market in Traverse City, Mi. They’re definitely just a northern thing though, because we moved to Arkansas in November of ‘76 and I never saw them again.

I want to buy orange wax whistles, red wax lips and wax teeth. They were good sellers, someone need to bring them back, kids deserve to enjoy these.
