📢 SERIES: Iconic patented toys and games of our time!
🥏 Frisbee owned by Mattel, Inc.
📰 On January 23, 1957, machines at the Wham-O toy company roll out the first batch of their aerodynamic plastic discs or flying saucers – now known to millions of fans all over the world as Frisbees. Today, at least 60 manufacturers produce the flying discs – generally made out of plastic and measuring roughly 20 – 25 cm in diameter with a curved lip. The official Frisbee™ is owned by Mattel, Inc., who bought the toy from Wham-O in 1994. Frisbees are now used in a variety of flying saucer sports around the world, including Ultimate Frisbee.
