1958, if no one plays this kind of American plastic ring anywhere in the world, it means that this place has not been "connected with the world". Hula hoop is a really popular toy in the world. It is made by two young toy manufacturers in san gabriel valley, California. Richard Nell and Arthur Merlin are co-owners of a manufacturing company called Huim O 'Brien. 1958 In March, at a toy fair in new york, an acquaintance told them that there was a big wooden circle that was popular everywhere in Australia, and children put it on their buttocks to play around. After returning to the company, Nell and Merlin began to make wooden rings. But after about 20, it stopped. They don't like wood and want to try plastic. By May, they had made something that met the requirements. They use colorful polyethylene pipes to make 3-foot-big circles, each of which costs 93 cents, and the gross profit 16%. This new toy of Huimo Company is named Hula Hoop.
