I always thought the inventer was named Frisbee. How else would they come up with such a name?
It was a pie company named Frisbee. He used to throw the pie plates and decided to make a plastic version.
Frisbee historian Malafronte believes truck drivers for the company were the first to toss Frisbie Pie tins on the loading docks during idle times. The tins bore the words "Frisbie's Pies" and had six small holes in the center, in a star pattern, that hummed when the tin flew.
