Tim has a fair gripe. Adam should have known SIX YEARS AGO that he would eventually become a moderator and not made such a comment to Bob.

I also just looked at that. It seems like a waste of money and it really isn't cleaning them. It may be sanitizing them, however. It is blasting them with UV light. That will kill the germs that the light reaches but I'd be skeptical about whether the UV light can reach all the insides of the whistle where it is likely damp the longest and where the bacteria is most likely to grow.

Instead, I pour 2-3 ounces of Listerine in a small cup and drop the whistles into it for a couple hours. That definitely reaches the entire whistle, will kill anything that is there, and will dissolve or soften most of the residue that may have formed so that it can be rinsed away under the faucet. Cost... probably pennies per year.



CLEAN WHISTLES?? I DON'T NEED NO STINKN' CLEAN WHISTLES!! :p

P.S. I checked the website: $39.95 plus S/H. I could have bought one large size bottle of Listerine when I first started officiating for far less than that had still have half the bottle left. :p

As an added bonus, you can also drink the Coke for breakfast. It now has an added flavor that is quite tasty, and it is nutritious also.

It's true, it's true.....

<b><u>WARNING:</u></b> Make sure that you detach your lanyards before placing your whistles in the Coke. If not, the lanyards will also dissolve, and thus will ruin the taste of the Coke the next morning.

no doubt that i'll try that...

If that's your opinion, why to you keep coming back and posting? And what "freedom" are you talking about? This website is privately owned intellectual propoerty. There's no first amendment rights here. If you're suspended, it won't be for speaking the truth...it'll be for acting like a dope.

Freedom to do what? People who host websites can't have rules?
