The Hula Hoop
Surely you have seen a hula hoop. Many people think that the hula hoop was invented in the 1950s. However, the hula hoop is an ancient toy. No company and no single inventor can claim to have invented the first hula hoop. The ancient Greeks used hooping as a form of exercise. In the past, hoops were made from metal, wood, bamboo, grass, and even vines.
A modern company called Whamo created its own versions of the hula hoop. Bits of glitter and noise makers were added to the hoops. The company started manufacturing the toy out of a new plastic in 1958. Twenty million Wham-O hula hoops sold for less than $2.00 each in the first six months!
