Following WWII, bubbles boomed as toy manufacturers used plastic to make bubble toys and detergents replaced traditional soap solutions. Commonwealth Plastics Corp. marketed the Bub-l-whistle, a bubble pipe and whistle in one. Users were instructed to "give the clown a drink of soapy water...he will blow bubbles as you whistle."
