Word origin
The flying disc, commonly known as a frisbee, has a fascinating history. The frisbee was originally a pie tin used by the Frisbie Pie Company in the late 19th century. College students in the 1940s and 1950s discovered that the pie tins could be thrown and caught for entertainment. In the 1950s, the Wham-O toy company began producing plastic flying discs, which became popular for recreational use and sports. Today, the flying disc is a widely recognized and beloved object for outdoor activities and competitions.
