MILWAUKEE, WI - November 10, 2005 - Chris Stromberg believes he has
found the next fad toy that will sweep the nation. He is the
Milwaukee-based manufacturer and promoter of Toobee, the Amazing
Flying Can, hailed as the "Hottest item since the Frisbee(R)."
Stromberg said about this new creation, "It's a toy that turns heads
and creates good, clean fun wherever it goes."
Toobee was invented in Berkeley, California by Dale Klahn and Gary
Upham, both of whom hold advanced degrees in aeronautical and nuclear
engineering.
At first glance, the Toobee appears to be nothing more than the top
third of a beer or soda can. By design, Toobee is a cylindrical wing
or annular airfoil. The Toobee pilot simply grips the can like a
football and throws it, rounded edge forward, like an NFL long bomb.
When thrown properly, Toobee will sail, soar, swoop and curve floating
on air for distances almost the length of the football field.
Stromberg says, "Because there is very little drag on the thin
aluminum, it keeps spinning at a high rate during flight. As momentum
dies down, torque from gravity causes Toobee to swoop off in the
direction of spin." The world record throw to date is
an astounding 283 feet.
The patented high-tech aluminum airfoil is only .005 inches thick and
weighs less than a marshmallow (3 grams). Its extreme lightness and
specially rolled edges, make Toobee a toy that can be flown
safely indoors or out. It can be tossed for distance, accuracy, fun
or competition. Major league baseball pitchers experimenting with
Toobee soon learned to throw "curveballs" and controlled pitches,
almost as if it were a baseball.
Toobee contests and competitions are becoming more popular and there
is talk of a global Toobee olympics. There is also a Toobee Air Force,
with its own Official Toobee Air Force Flight Training Manual and the
motto, "Success comes with CANS."
At present time, Toobee is available via the Internet and mail order
and retail for .95. In keeping with Toobee's efforts to make a
difference in society, 20% of all profits go to select children's
charities worldwide.
