The real inventors

[edit]

Many oldtime Bridgeport residents some of them former employees of the old Frisbie Pie Company say that they were playing "Fresbie" long before the Yale and other college students even thought about it.

The drivers and other employees of the company "invented" the game tossing the pie tins around to kill time. The tins carried a deposit of 5 cents stamped into the metal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.22.103 (talkcontribs) 00:44, 17 January 2007‎

Plagiarism

[edit]

Lovely article, it's a shame it's a product of unabashed plagiarism. The text, verbatim, is from From: Frisbee, A Practitioner's Manual and Definitive Treatise, copyright 1975, ISBN 0-911104-53-4 Taco (talk) 00:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, according to: http://www.wfdf.org/index.php?action=print&sport_id=3&page=history/frisbee.htm you are 100% right that that history paragraph is plagiarized. There is a markup for that, so I'll apply it. CSZero (talk) 22:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trademark infringement?

[edit]

How can changing the spelling of a single word change its copyright status? I suspect this should probably be "trademark" infringement. 74.92.38.137 (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Abundance of non-cited and incorrect info

[edit]

Gmlew77t (talk) This whole article needs a re-write. The only reference is defunct and if you follow the reference manually it contains much different info. Also, much of the article seems to relate to the Frisbee by Wham-O and not the Frisbie Pie Co. (And yes, the name was Frisbie Pie Co. according to an era photograph http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/A-Frisbee-spin-on-legendary-Bridgeport-pie-tins-370680.php#photo-104274 Gmlew77t (talk) 23:48, 10 May 2014 (UTC) of the bakery building.) I personally don't have the time or "wiki" knowledge to edit this or I would. Gmlew77t (talk) 23:45, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement on the name

[edit]

"People[who?] still disagree on whether the name of the company was the "Frisbie Pie Company" or the "Frisbie Baking Company".[citation needed]"

There's plenty of evidence that the company name was the Frisbie Baking Company. [1] [2] [3] Actually, all these references call it the Frisbie Pie Company. I'll remove the section from the article.

Can someone remove this section?

The original name of the company according to the United States Trademark is The Frisbie Pie Co. [1] [2] P37307 (talk) 12:31, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page cleanup

[edit]

I attempted to do a page cleanup, add infobox, etc. I have nothing to do with this company. I went down the pie rabbit hole. First curious about Walmart's 50-cent pies, which I learned was made by Table Talk Pies, and that intrigue lead to The Frisbie Pie Co. I guess there are worse rabbit holes to go down but now I want pie. I hope I improved the page. Cheers! P37307 (talk) 12:37, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
