The Hula Hoop
A. In 1950s America, Californian toy company Wham-O perfected a plastic version of the
toy which attracted global interest. In as little as four months, 25 million of the hoops
were sold. Within two years, over 100 million had been sold, starting a trend which
swept throughout the country. In the USA alone, 50,000 were produced in a single day.
Many people in countless corners of the world developed a passion for the trend, from
infants to grandparents and from factory workers to CEOs.
B. Many popular songs were written about the hula hoop during the 1960s. Nevertheless,
the toy’s popularity began to fade over the next few decades. However, the hula hoop
never completely vanished from the public arena and most toys stores continued to
stock the toy. Recently it staged a spectacular revival, rallying a new generation of fans.
Even the wife of the President of the USA was spotted ‘hooping’ on the White House
Lawn. Nowadays, the circular toy has been incorporated in a range of fitness schemes.
