How A Pie Tin Became An American Classic
May 11, 2009admin No Comments »A simple pie tin created in the late 1800′s by a baker named William Russel Frisbie became a favorite play toy for Yale students more than a half century later. These Yalies tossed these reusable saucer shaped tins for fun through the air and catching them. Later Walter Frederick Morrison, a UFO aficionado, developed the toy flying saucer and sold it to the Wham-O company. The Frisbee as American as apple pie, was born in 1957. Today children and adults can be seen tossing these discs to each other in parks, beaches, and still on college campuses.
