A young couple toss a Frisbee to each other on a flat sandy beach after the tide has gone out at Naples along the Gulf of Mexico on the southwest coast of Florida, USA. The aerodynamic plastic discs were brand-named Frisbee by the American Wham-O toy company that began their manufacture in 1957. Within 20 years, more than 100 million Frisbees had been sold and now have fans worldwide. The name of this popular toy traces its roots to the 1870s when teenagers in Connecticut began tossing around empty pie tins from the Frisbie Pie Company and yelling "Frisbie!" when they let the metal plates fly.
