There is a Christmas movie trivia contest going on here at work and I need help with one of the questions.

In the movie "The Santa Clause" what did Neil want from Santa that he never got?

Neil is the Judge Reinhold character.

Anybody know?

A whistle I think?Can anyone confirm? That is totally not ringing a bell (although I've only seen the movie once).

I think you're right. I googled weiner whistle and santa clause and got some hits.

Evidently it's an Oscar Meyer Weiner Whistle.

Good work, gents.

It looked like a promotional toy from Oscar Meyer....like the wienermobile.

Man, that only took about 5 minutes! In fact, the first response (correct I might add, but maybe not specific enough for this contest) took less than a minute.

I love FOFC.

See, this is what I hate about trivia questions. He did get it: Tim Allen (as Santa) gave it to him near the end of the movie. They never tell you what else he wanted that Santa still hasn't given him.

The correct question would be: In the movie "The Santa Clause" what did Neil want from Santa that he never got as a child?

Of course, I'm a picky engineer, so most people just won't care http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Just think. Until he starred alongside Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, that was the one scene he was most famous for.

I dare say it still is. Although he and fred savage dancing in their underwear may come in a close 2nd.
