Wham-O Review & Giveaway

My boys have always been a fan of the Wham-O Slip 'N Slide and now they love their new lawn game. The Wham-O Frisbee Horseshoes game is a twist to the classic horseshoe game with frisbee throw action.

My boys gave it a try and watch out when the oldest throws like a frisbee. His direction is a little off, so he liked doing it the regular classic horseshoe way, plus he likes to get close.  I told him it would take practice and he would get better. I had to try the frisbee throw and was surprised at how close I actually made it to the stake.
Wham-O Frisbee Horseshoe Game is a great way to get outdoors this summer and play. 2 stakes 4 Horseshoe Frisbees are included together. The frisbee shoes are a good weight to throw, not heavy, but just right for little ones.

We would like to thank Wham-O for being a part of the Hotter than Summer Event. One reader will win their very own Wham-O Frisbee Horseshoe game!!! Super thanks to our sponsor!

I follow with GFC and I like this fact about the superball:
In the early 1960s, Norman Stingley, a chemical engineer, accidentally created a plastic product that bounced uncontrollably. He offered the product to Melin and Knerr and the SUPERBALL® bouncy ball was created, followed by the Super Gold Ball, Super Baseball and Super Dice. In one celebrated incident, a giant SUPERBALL, produced as a promotional item, was accidentally dropped out of a 23rd floor hotel window in Australia. It shot back up 15 floors, then down again into a parked convertible car. The car was totaled but the ball survived the "test" in perfect condition.
I had a superball when I was little and boy did it bounce! I even lost one because it bounced so much and I was never able to find it.

building inspector named Fred Morrison puttered with and refined a plastic flying disc that he sold to WHAM-O® in 1955. Introduced to the consumer market in 1957 as the Pluto Platter™ (the name inspired by the country's obsession with Unidentified Flying Objects), it was modified in 1958, renamed the FRISBEE® disc, and has become an American icon.

One of the most exotic WHAM-O product ideas came as a result of Melin's safari to Africa in the early 1960s. He discovered a species of fish that laid eggs in mud during Africa's dry season. When the rains came, the eggs hatched and fish emerged. Ah-ha, thought Melin. Sell chunks of mud, add water, and voila, instant aquarium. Millions of dollars of orders for INSTANT FISH were taken. Unfortunately, the fish brought back to America wouldn't mate, so no fish eggs, no mud and the end of a great idea

Many of WHAM-O's products have been aimed, literally, at kids. The AIR BLASTER toy introduced in 1965 could blow out candle at 20 feet with a "ball" of air. While the HUF'N PUF blowgun shot soft rubber darts, a gentler version of the real thing, which Melin and Knerr discovered during a toy-scouting journey to Africa. The array of flying birds, planes, bubble makers, darts and guns created by WHAM-O in the 50s and 60s is amazing.

During the the 1960's Wham-O sold some 20 million Superball Bouncy Balls. Other competitors tried to make them but countless customers were never satisfied with the copies.

In 1961, Wham-O introduced the original Slip ’N Slide, which quickly became a permanent warm weather favorite among kids around the world.
