Question

Some people believe that the hula hoop was first invented in the 1950s, but this is not the case. The hula hoop has actually been around for thousands of years. It was originally made of woven grasses, sticks, or vines. Back then, it wasn't known as the hula hoop. The "hula" part of the name comes from the traditional hula dance of Hawaii. The dance consists of a circular motion of the hips. A similar movement is used for hula hooping. The hula hoop can be used for exercise or for play. By moving one's hips in a circular motion, one can spin the hula hoop around the body for long periods of time. Currently, the world record for the longest duration of hula hooping is 74 hours and 54 minutes. Hula hooping became especially popular in the 1950s. Toy companies began advertising hula hoops and giving them away for free. One of the first producers of the hula hoop in the US was Carlon Products Corporation. At one point, the company was producing as many as 50,000 hula hoops a day!
