Frisbee
The flying disc known as the Frisbee origi
nated as pie tins used by the Frisbie Pie Co.
of Bridgeport, Conn. The tins were tossed
for sport by college students who yelled
"Frisbie” to warn passersby of errant metal
plates. In 1948, former World War II pilots
Walter Frederick Morrison and his partner
Warren Franscioni of California created
a plastic version of the Frisbie that was
more aerodynamic than metal pie plates.
Capitalizing on the UFO craze, Morrison
dubbed the plastic disc “The Flyin' Saucer,”
and later “Pluto Platter." Wham-O bought
rights to the toy and in 1958 trademarked
the name Frisbee.
Play-Doh
The substance known as Play-Doh began
as wallpaper cleaner. Joe McVicker of Kutol
Chemicals in Cincinnati discovered the non
toxic product and in 1955 recommended it to
his sister-in-law, a nursery school teacher who
had complained how difficult it was for her
young pupils to shape modeling clay. McVicker
and his brother, Noah, formed Rainbow Crafts
Co. the following pear and began manufactur
ing 1.5-pound cans of the reusable, off-white
modeling compound. Since then, more than
2 billions cans of Play-Doh have been sold in a
rainbow of colors.
