Welcome
Yoshi
| The yo-yo
has been
around for
a long time.
On their
web site,
the makers
of Duncan
Yo-Yo have
written
tongue in
cheek, "The
yo-yo is
the world's
second oldest
toy, so
the inventor's
name has
been lost
to history.
It is thought
that he
was the
younger
son of the
guy who
invented
the wheel."
According
to Duncan,
there are
pictures
of yo-yos
on the walls
of ancient
Egyptian
temples.
The modern
yo-yo
movement
was started
by a bell
hop in
a Santa
Monica
hotel.
Pedro
Flores
brought
the toy
with him
from the
Philippines
and started
a yo-yo
company
when he
realized
how many
people
wanted
him to
make them
one.
Yo-yo
means
"come-come"
in the
native
Filipino
language
of Tagalog.
Donald
F. Duncan,
who started
Good Humor
Ice Cream,
bought
the company
from Flores
and made
Duncan
Yo-Yo
one of
the most
popular
toys in
America.
Duncan
invented
the looped
slip-string,
which
allowed
the yo-yo
to spin
without
returning
to the
finger. |
