Hula Hoops
People around the world played with hoops, twirling, rolling and throwing them. In Egypt around 3000 years ago, hoops made out of grape vines were propelled around the ground with sticks. In ancient Greece their use was recommended for losing weight.
In the 14th century, "hooping" was popular in England and medics blamed
it for heart attacks and back dislocations.
The word "hula" was added in the early 18th century as sailors who visited
Hawaii noticed the similarity between hula dancing and hooping.
Today the hula hoop is known as the biggest and most profitable fad of the 1950s.
After the hoop was released in 1958, Wham-O sold over
100 million in two years. This was referenced in the 1994 movie. One famous
hooper is Lori Lynn Lomeli.
