It was created when some kids used to get pies from the 'Frisbee bakery'. They loved them so much they would flatten the tins and throw them about, hence the name Frisbee. So they have always been called Frisbees, it just caught on.

∙ 12y agoThe first Frisbees were aluminum pie pans made by the Frisbee pie company of Connecticut. They did not have a name. Teenagers would toss the pie pans around for fun. Eventually, a toy manufacture saw the teenagers tossing the pie pans around, and came up with plastic circular discs that could be tossed around, and he named them the Frisbee after the original pie pans that the teenagers tossed around.
