The frisbee connection

Tweet

Did you know that on January 23, 1957 the Wham-O toy company rolled out their first batch of Frisbees. The story starts way back in 1871 when William Frisbie opened the Frisbie Pie Company. At the nearby university,the students, in their spare time, would throw empty pie pans, yelling " Frisbie!". In 1948 Walter Morrison and Warren Franscioni invented a plastic version of the disc called the Flying Saucer. After Morrison split from Franscioni he made a improved model in 1955 and sold it to the Wham-O toy company as the Pluto Platter. In the toy company changed the name to the Frisbee Disc, misspelling the named of the historic pie company. That is how we have the Frisbee today. What do you think of the Frisbee, and did you how it came to be before I wrote about it.
