The man who unleashed the Hula Hoop and the Frisbee on the world has died. Richard Knerr, co-founder of the Wham-O toy company, died on Monday at the age of 82. His wife, Dorothy, told the Los Angeles Times that he had suffered a stroke and died in hospital.Knerr founded Wham-O with his childhood friend Arthur "Spud" Melin in 1948. The pair made sporting goods such as catapults, boomerangs and crossbows, before branching out into less harmful territory with products such as the Superball, the Slip 'n' Slide water slide, and Silly String....
Wham-O made some of the coolest stuff...ever.
Hula Hoop and Frisbee...two of the best toys. Ever.
