Whistle Pops (called Melody Pops in some countries) were a lollipop brand produced by Spangler Candy Company starting in the 1970s that were designed to make a whistling sound. They were produced with a hole in them, and when blown into, a whistling sound would emanate from the confectionery.

Reintroduction

After being discontinued for a few years, the company Chupa Chups reintroduced Whistle Pops, naming them Melody Pops, and markets them in the United States. Melody Pops are marketed with a tagline stating "play real music". The Melody Pop's handle contains a slide whistle-like plunger. Each lollipop's inner wrapper has sheet music printed on it. Each note is numbered, so the whistler can change the notes they play by sliding the plunger up and down to the different numbers engraved on the plunger.

In the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom (UK) some pharmacies stock Whistle Pops.
