Special Notes: An article on page 22 of the May 13, 1957 issue of Sports Illustrated states: "The Keebler Biscuit Co. of Philadelphia has been making a prototype of the Frisbee for years, possibly without
knowing that it was doing so. Long ago picnickers and beachgoers learned that the lid from a large tin can of Keebler crackers could be made to skim and hover exactly as Frisbees do, and so a game called Keebler Can was invented."
