Hula Hoop Turns 50 (AP)
From The Associated Press through msn.com:
SAN FRANCISCO - It's hard to believe in an age of action-packed video games and other whiz-bang gadgets, but the Hula Hoop once was the hippest toy around.
The hoopla began 50 years ago Thursday (June 19) when entrepreneurs Richard Knerr and Arthur "Spud" Melin sought a trademark for a plastic cylinder based on a similar toy that had enjoyed modest success in Australia's school yards.
