It was a hunting tool. Hunter would wait in a tree for an animal to walk by, and used a rock secured to a string or rope, attempt to hit the animal in the head, if he miss he just pulled on the rope instead of having to climb down and then back up.
Sweet Commercial! I've recently switched to Diet Mtn. Dew instead of regular Dew. Also, haven't used a yo-yo for years not since I left the 12th Street Yo-Yo Gang. (Oops! Did I say that out loud?)
Anyone who THINKS a yo-yo was invented to be used as a weapon is an IDIOT. Why don't you do a little research before making yourself look like an ass.
The yo-yo originated in Greece....it dates back to 250B.C. ....It is the second oldest toy known. (The oldest toy is the doll).
The yo-yo was NOT invented as a weapon. Donald Duncan, Sr. fabricated that story to add mystique to the product. A couple people may have attempted to use them as weapons, but failed miserably. FACT: Nobody knows when or where the yo-yo was invented. However, they have been depicted on Grecian urns as far back as 500 BC.
It's history does show earliest examples in China in the form of the Diabolo but it -was not- used as a weapon in the Philippines. That is a marketing ploy from when Donald Duncan bought Pedro Flores's yo-yo company back in the early 1900's.
@TheSpyTF2 Seriously? You really missed the point to all this? It's called "Not thinking it through." Most folks about 90% of people don't or didn't realize that yo-yo's were invented as a form of weapon. Also most folks don't realize that Diet Mountain Dew has all the great taste but zero calories compared to regular dew.
Technically, it was a toy from medieval China, but in the Philippines it became used as a weapon. In many martial arts, everyday objects like staffs, chains, farming implements, and ropes can be adapted as lethal weapons.
Imagine having to have a yo-yo permit... Or having politicians who are Pro-Yo-Yo Control. Or back in the fifth grade when yo-yos became popular and all the kids brought them to school. The world would have been a better place if yo-yos remained weapons. Thanks alot Duncan.
no acctually it is a real fact in the Philippines back then they were used as weapons and much different from todays yoyos they were made of wood, bigger and the rope was thicker so make sure your facts are clear and can be supported before you say it with so much confidence >:(
I swear this is the best Mountain Dew Commercial I've seen since the sock puppet one, and what makes this even more hilarious, there are multiple versions of this commercial ROLFLMAO!!!!
We're doing good if a DRINK maker films a commercial that laughs WITH the gun control debate and makes the anti gun woman look like an unreasonable bitch. I don't see the gun ban groups playing THIS video on their websites anytime soon. lol This is probably because Dew is mostly marketed to guys and we guys tend to get protective when it comes to our guns (or in this case yo yos).
PROTEGO! PROTEGO! PROTEGO!
