In 1952 NBC launched a network radio program featuring Howdy, and in 1954 Howdy Doody became an international television hit with a Cuban and a Canadian show, using duplicate puppets and local talent, including Robert Goulet as Canadian host, Timber Tom.

You're right that IF the metal calorimeter and the styrofoam calorimeter were both perfect and behaved in the way that we usually pretend calorimeters do (they don't absorb or lose heat) then they should produce identical results, for the enthalpy reason you provide.
Metal takes a lot of heat to melt, much more intense heats than to melt plastic or glass, which is why it used for cookware, etc. Basically metal can absorb the most heat because it can withstand the most heat, out of the three, while staying physically intact (as a solid in the same shape, etc.).
