The+Frisbee

The frisbee   Many people play sports which involve the frisbee. There is Ultimate Frisbee, Disk Golf, and just plain throwing the the frisbee around for fun. But do you ever wonder how the frisbee came about and what it was evolved from?

The Frisbee was evolved back in the 1870's by a baker. The baker, William Russel Frisbie, decided to create a light tin pan to sell his homemade pies in. The baker cleverly scripted the name Frisbie on the bottom of the pan. The pans were reusable, so when someone bought a pie from his bakery, they would see his name on the bottom of the pan, when reusing it.

Years later, around 1940, many kids started to use the frisbee as something to throw around and play with. It became a very popualar activity for kids and adults. It became so popular that a company decided to create a sacuer like disk just like William Russel Frisbie's pie pan. The name of this disk was Wham-o, but later got changed to Firsbee. It was not changed to William Russel Frisbie's last namebecuse of legal issues. So the disk was named a Frisbee and that is how we now know it today.
