However, It was around the corner at Yale University, a major consumer of Frisbie's Pies, that the aerodynamic qualities of the pie tin was discovered and the past time of Frisbie-ing was born! Two Yale Students who observed this phenomenom, Richard Knerr and Arthur Melin, co-founded Wham-o and in 1957 produced the first Frisbee (respelt to avoid trademark issues). Over 300 Million Frisbees have been sold worldwide. The Frisbee (or Disc, if not Wham-o) has inspired an array of 'disc sports' including Ultimate and Disc Golf, being played across the world at the highest level of competition.
