Hula Hoop-
One of the biggest fads of all time is the hula-hoop, invented in 1957, by an Australian.
The item attracted the attention of Wham-0, a fledgling California toy manufacturer. Richard P. Knerr and Arthur K. Melvin, of Wham-O, manufactured a plastic hoop in a variety of bright colors. The Hula Hoop was introduced in 1958 and made the two men very rich indeed. The fad died out in the sixties, but Hula Hoops are now very much with us again thanks to the fitness craze. What better way to grind off those unsightly bulges around the waist and hips.
The name "hula hoop" came from the Hawaiian dance its users seemed to imitate.
