Yo-yo

A yo-yo is a type of toy consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a string looped around the axle. It takes some skill to operate a yo-yo, and several cool tricks can be done with this toy.

Historical evidence shows that these things have been around for an extremely long time for a toy, even since the times of Ancient Greece, but they weren't popularized until 1928 when Pedro Flores, a Filipino immigrant to the United States, opened the Yo-yo Manufacturing Company in Santa Barbara, California. The word yo-yo is said to have originated from the Ilocano language word yóyo, which would make sense because a Phillipine popularized it. Yo-yos are known to be popular in Japan.
