Although the historical facts are debated, one source claims America’s love affair with the Frisbee began in the late 1800s as college students used metal pie pans from the Frisbee Baking Company to play their own form of catch while taking a break from their studies. As the story goes, instead of yelling “FORE!” as in golf, their warning cry was, naturally, “FRISBEE!” Not long after WWII, a monetized disc made of plastic known as the Flying Saucer (on the heels of the Roswell craze) was sold at county fairs. Later dubbed the Pluto Platter, the toy company Wham-O (think: “hula-hoop”) purchased the legal rights, and thus the iconic trade name Frisbee was forever etched in American pop culture. The International Frisbee Association was soon formed in 1967, and by 1968-69 the first Frisbee Golf Tournament was held in (where else?) Southern California.
