Origin of the Frisbee. Inventor Fred Morrison claims he first had the idea for a flying disc toy while tossing a cake pan around on a beach in 1937. The toy was also originally named the Flyin' Cake Pan, then the Pluto Platter before Morrison settled on the world-renowned name Frisbee. There is an alusion to how it came about in the film
Back to the Future II or was it
III ? anyway it was when Marty McFly picks up a 'pan' and throws it like a frisbee to try and stop a thief. Source:
