Did a bunch of research on these this morning and I'm defying conventional wisdom a bit by saying these were separate things, but I think I have the evidence to back that up at this point.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that they ALL were separate. It seems like some reported them as coming "together" while others said they got theirs separately. Does "together" mean they came in the same package? Perhaps. But I have not seen enough 1st hand reports to verify either situation. It is very possible that some places received two separate packages while others received one with the whistle. Seeing as how they are so rare (and old now), it will be tough to find out. I am very surprised that I've never seen a letter included with one? These things ALWAYS had a letter from Nintendo or a 3rd party marketing department that addressed the game or the package itself. I've NEVER seen one yet and I spent awhile looking. Maybe its out there though?
