Wham-o is the famous Californian company that introduced the frisbee in 1957 and the hula hoop in 1958. This was a revolutionary game as it provided us with a active childhood.

The hula hoop goes around your waist, you hold it around you and then with your hands you swing it around your one side of your waist and then move your hips around in circles to keep the hula hoop from falling to the ground. It takes a lot of practice!

No, Art Linkletter was not the financial backer of the hula hoop. The hula hoop was popularized in the late 1950s by the Wham-O toy company, co-founded by Arthur "Spud" Melin and Richard Knerr. While Linkletter was a well-known television personality and had a significant influence on popular culture, he did not play a financial role in the creation or promotion of the hula hoop.
