Wait, that's not Alzheimers. Alzheimers is ... what is it again? Who are you and what are you doing with that chicken?

I thought they were renaming Alzhiemer's to Reagan's disease. Has anyone else heard this?

I really do not think they would do that. I would not support a decision like that. It is fine the way it is.

So, when are we going to get our aluminum soda cans and pots and pans replaced with african blackwood?

The water coming into your house may be more toxic than the aluminum fipples. Certainly McDs or any of the fast food places are much worse. The aluminum connection to alzheimers is almost completely refuted by new studies. However there is evidence that high fat diets are a factor. Enjoy your aluminum fipple. I am enjoying mine and planning to buy another or maybe 2 or ------

Well, I often wondered why they discontinued the McDonald's McLuminum sandwich.

It was a bummer. That was my fave, too. It always went down so well with a Uranium Shake and a Filet-o-Plutonium.

Well, they sorta got burned with the McHaggis. Trying to push it for Scotchtoberfest, and then finding out there is no Scotchtoberfest left a bad taste in their mouth. Not as bad as the McHaggis, mind you, but pretty bad.
I hear the McHaggis was about as close to the real thing as the McNuggest were to real chicken. They used organs that normally couldn't be put in real Haggis. I never felt that ears and tails and toes were real organs, but hey, my opinion is stupid and wrong.

I have been worrying about Aluminum and a Google search turned up
that it is a TOXIC metal. So why would we put it into our mouth?
Altheimers patients have high quanties of it in their systems.
We were told way back in the '80's that we should't cook with the stuff
even.
So why would whistle makers try to sell us aluminum mouthpieces?
Opinions?

Ive heard that sitting on a warm chair can get you pregnant! I did a gogle
search and it came up with nothing. So is it nothing that makes you pregnant

Here's an article on the aluminum urban legend:

A wag of a cousin refers to them as chicken McNodules-

Geeeeeeeezus
and great gosh almighty,
I am really worried now,
there seems to a distinct chicken fetish happening on this board,
mmmmmm finger lickin good.....who said that??

honestly guys you really have to get past the feathered fantasy,
the topic here is aluminium,
the last chicken thread got deleted, and just when it was getting kinda funny too (in a sad way).
ok aluminium.ummmm
so why did the chicken cross the road?
i reckon ppls resistance to all sorts of stuff including fats, smoking, alcahol and KFC and ALUMINIUM poisoning is gunna dictate if they are gunna get sick
all depends on the persons makeup,
personally i reckon i would take the chance on playing aluminium whistles,
and if stacy from alba whistles wants to send me one just to kill me off i will die a happy man,
seriously i like chickens
nothing agianst them really

regards
David

Thanks for all your comments...I got brave and tried playing it again tonight.
IT BURNS MY UPPER LIP LIKE FIRE!!!!!!!!!
I have washed it in soap 4 times; even dipped it in booze.
The minute I put it in my mouth I can feel tingling on the inside
of my upper lip and after I have played even a 1/2 hour only; it
feels all raw like the skin has been "burned" off.
I guess I MUST be alergic to aluminum.
I'm glad the rest of you aren't.

Good gosh. It sounds like you could be allergic to aluminum.
Oh, as far as the McNodules go, I always thought they resembled tumors or cyst more. Maybe glands.....
Could be gall bladders. McGallbladders. McTumors. McCyst. McGlands.
They were chewwy sorta too. Chicken McButtholes maybe? Hey, I hear nothing goes to waste in the chicken plants any more.

Gosh Lolly, why didn't you say "IT BURNS MY UPPER LIP LIKE FIRE" a bit earlier in the thread? Now I enjoy playing the whistle as much as the next guy or gal, but when playing one burns like fire, well then it's time probably to think things over.

Sorry though to hear about your reaction to aluminium.
