Wham-O Toy History - Search Videos

The #hulahoop is an ancient toy dating back to 500-1000 BC in #egypt and #greece , where children used sticks or their hips to roll hoops. The #modern , massive craze began in 1959 when a company named Wham-O marketed a plastic version and sold 25 million in 4 months. This is a skill I had as a kid but now that I’m an adult, I look like a total goober. Anyone else lose their touch?? 😂 #history

Hard to read it normally, you had to read it old school style laying on the floor like you read Newspaper funnies. | Buck Edward
