Derived from the trademark name of the Frisbie Pie Company, whose empty pie tins were frequently tossed by college students in the mid-20th century. Wham-O later purchased and modified the concept into a plastic flying disc, intentionally misspelling the brand name as 'Frisbee' to avoid trademark issues while retaining phonetic recognition.
