One of my favorite summer toys and great for the beach too. Frisbies! Such an odd unique name so where did it come from?
It actually has a Connecticut tie in. Back in 1871, a guy William Frisbie opened a Frisbie Pie Company in right here in Bridgeport. Students from local colleges would toss the empty pie tins back and forth outside while yelling “FRISBIE!!!” after his last name.
Then as the years went on it stuck. Then in 1958, the Wham-O company (who are also behind brining the hula-hoop to the masses) started manufacturing it as a product and selling Frisbee discs to people. The rest is history.

Restaurants and small businesses have been through a lot the past few years. From being shut down during covid to renovating or outfitting their locations in new ways to adapt. It’s been hard to keep employees too.
But for this one McDonald’s franchise owner in Ohio he was able to keep all of his staff and still PAY them while he shut down the place for a few months to renovate.
The craziest part of it all and why it was so important for him to do this for his employees was that he started as a part-time worker at the McDonalds 60 years ago! Then over the decades worked his way up until he ultimately owned the place as he does now.
He realizes a lot of his employees live paycheck to paycheck, and wanted to keep that income going for them.
It might make sense that iced is the answer. And while it does tastes refreshing in the summer, when it comes to cooling you off it’s kind of just a quick fix. Think of it like this… drinking 1 cold beverage into your hot body is like dumping a glass of ice into a hot bath.
Drinking a hot coffee will increase your core temperature, which then cues the body’s natural response to increase perspiration. As the sweat evaporates from your skin it actually “acts as a coolant.” Which will in theory cool you off more than the iced coffee.
