I just keep thinking of Whammo from my youth. Didn’t they sell the Frisbee among other toys?

Yes. And as I recall from away back, they sold a plastic shotgun-like toy that fired ping-pong balls when you pumped it. My little brother had one.

What a great name for a self driving car:
The WHAMMO!

Here you go:
Wham-O
My Dad (an engineer) was good friends with "Spud" Melin. I don't know if Spud sent us early releases or not but they both died in 2002. We had Frisbees, Hula hoops, slip and slides, super balls, water wiggles, and sling shots but later on we had "wrist rockets" which were actually lethal - don't think they were Wham-o ... I do recall that their slingshot used surgical tubing and a leather "cup" for your load and were a lot like lawn darts - be careful who you play with! ;-)
