One of the oldest fads today is Frisbee. The Frisbee is a plastic disk the size of a plate at about 9"-11". It weighs between 2.5 to 5.6 ounces. It is usually thrown with a flick of the wrist. By throwing it this way it creates a clockwise spin and a forward motion. By changing the way you throw the Frisbee it can curve, hover, flip, or even be thrown in a straight line. The Frisbee is a staple of collage life. People go out to the park and play games like ultimate Frisbee, Frisbee golf, or just play catch. Throwing disks, like Frisbees, have been around for many years.
Throwing disks have been around since ancient Greece. Events such as the discus were played in the Olympics. Frisbee though, didn't catch on in the US till the 1950's. It's debatable who first invented the Frisbee though. First, a few Yale students began by tossing around pie pans from the Frisbie Baking Company of Bridgeport. The game started appearing on college campuses all over the east coast. However, Walter Frederick Morrison created and patented the first Frisbee. It was called the "Pluto Platter." In the year 1957 Walter Morrison then sold his patent to the Wham-O Manufacturing Company. In 1959 the Wham-O Co. altered the spelling and named it the Frisbee. The toy has changed very little in the past fifty years since its birth. People still love to play Frisbee today. .
The Frisbee fad never really died it just quieted down. Even now when you go to the park you can see people playing Frisbee. It isn't the same as it once was, but people still go out just for the fun of it. Families go out and have picnics to one of the favorite toys brought is the Frisbee. Today Frisbees are sold in most any toy store and are still used quite often. Games such as ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee golf are becoming very popular. The game ultimate Frisbee is played on a field the size of a football field. The goal of the game is to get your team to score a touchdown.
