Surely you have seen a hula hoop. many people think that the hula hoop was invented in the 1950s. however, the hula hoop
is an ancient toy. no company and no single inventor can claim to have invented the first hula hoop. the ancient greeks used
hooping as a form of exercise. in the past, hoops were made from metal, wood, bamboo, grass, and even vines.
a modern company called whamo created its own versions of the hula hoop. bits of glitter and noise makers were added to
the hoops. the company started manufacturing the toy out of a new plastic in 1958. twenty million wham-o hula hoops sold
for less than $2.00 each in the first six months!
which sentence would be the best concluding statement for this paragraph?
but, the doll is considered the oldest toy in history
it is not the only toy with a long and interesting history.
even though most people have no idea why it is still so popular
wham-o became the most successful manufacturer of hula hoops, and it is
still a popular toy today.
