I am a genius
I have figured out why they call a hula hoop a hula hoop.
Alright so I am drivin down the road last night with my friend and listenin to Metallica. Can't remember what song though. He starts gettin "crunk". I got to thinkin about the hula for some reason which led to the hula hoop. When you do the hula you move your waste back and forth and all that good stuff. When you got a hula hoop it is like you are doin the hula inside it. That is why they call it a hula hoop. Am I a genius or what?
ummmm....alrighty

good for you!!
That too
Thought ppl already knew that?? But oh well here's the story...
You may think that the Hula Hoop was a fad born in the 1950s, but in fact people were doing much the same thing with circular hoops made from grape vines and stiff grasses all over the ancient world. More than three thousand years ago, children in Egypt played with large hoops of dried grapevines. The toy was propelled along the ground with a stick or swung around at the waist.
During the fourteenth century, a "hooping" craze swept England, and was as popular among adults as kids. The records of doctors at the time attribute numerous dislocated backs and heart attacks to "hooping." The word hula became associated with the toy in the early 1800s when British sailors visited the Hawaiian Islands and noted the similarity between "hooping" and hula dancing. In 1957, an Australian company began making wood rings for sale in retail stores.
The item attracted the attention of Wham-0, a fledgling California toy manufacturer. Richard P. Knerr and Arthur K. Melin, of Wham-O, manufactured a plastic hoop in a variety of bright colors. Knerr and Melin promoted it for months in 1958 on Southern California playgrounds where they would do demonstrations and give away hoops to get the children to learn and play. Their perseverence turned HULA HOOP into the greatest fad the country has ever seen. Twenty-five million were sold in four months!
The Hula Hoop was introduced in 1958 and made the two men very rich indeed.
The fad died out in the sixties, but Hula Hoops are now very much with us again thanks to the fitness craze. What better way to grind off those unsightly bulges around the waist and hips.
