Frisbees

The first Frisbee was crafted from plastic by Walter Frederick Morrison and Warren Franscioni in San Luis Obispo, California in 1947. Their plastic disc was called the Flyin' Saucer and later renamed the Pluto Platter. After ten-years of hawking their new toy, a partnership was formed in 1958 with Wham-O, which renamed the Pluto Platter to Frisbee.
