Do you remember ......
Richard Knerr and Arthur "Spud" Melin trademarked the name and
received the patent for the hula hoop we all know ...
but they didn't invent them.
The ancient Greeks used them for exercise and, in the 1800's,
British sailors called them hula hoops after seeing the Hawaiian dancers.
However, the Wham-O company definitely cornered the market.
