What kind of test did you run?
Further, he summarily claims all of his pea whistles froze up. That's just fishy. Anyway, I can't speak for the others because I don't own them, but I'm highly skeptical he got the peas to freeze in the Acme 660 and the Storm.
Doesn't seem fishy to me, seems like predictable outcome
whistles were shaken not blown. The pea whistles have a pea, and are deep with small openings ... shaking won't get all the water out, once in the box gravity makes the water and the pea settle on the bottom, and they freeze
I don't see the bias or the myth
I don't have that acme whistle but I've gotten a pea stuck more than one pea whistle ... that is stuck temporarily for about one breath and one touch .. in over 10 years it happened maybe about 10 times over 10000 tries (0.1%)
so yes, the peas could get stuck temporarily, its not just theoretical. Its also plausible the peas could freeze temporarily ...
hmmm... so worst case scenario, your whistle is frozen like an ice cube, how long does it take to melt an ice cube with your hands? with your body? while floating next to some ice in an immersion suit?
peas, don't worry about it, thank you
