"The Frisbie Baking Company (1871–1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of sport." - Wikipedia.com

Back to the Future III
Every wonder where common house hold items got their start? Lucky and I watched "Back to the Future III" this weekend. There is a scene where MJF picks up and throws a "Frisbie Baking Pan" into the air. Which inspired me to check if that was actually how the frisbie came about. Turns out it's true.
