Quote : | " The Koosh ball is a toy ball, unique in its possession of rubber filaments around a center core as opposed to a smooth, consistent surface.
The Koosh ball was developed in 1986 by Scott Stillinger to be easy for his daughter and son (5 and 8 years old respectively) to hold and throw. It was named after the sound it made when it landed. Stillinger started the OddzOn Products Inc. company with his brother-in-law, Mark Button (who had previously been a marketing manager for Mattel), in 1987 in order to sell it. The Koosh ball was one of 1988's hot Christmas toys, appealing considerably to all ages. The company later expanded their product line to include 50 other Koosh-related products, including keyrings, baseball sets, and yo-yos. The number of Koosh Balls sold is estimated to be in the millions.
The ball consists of approximately 2000 natural rubber filaments, and has been released in a variety of color combinations. A variation was the Koosh Kins line of Koosh balls with cartooney faces and hands. Koosh Kins was made into a comic book mini-series by Archie Comics where they kept their cartoon-like appearance.
Similar toys featuring lower-quality rubber filaments and much smaller sizes became a staple of arcade prizes and quarter machines.
The name "Koosh" also designates a game played using the Koosh ball and fabric rackets, the objective of which is to keep the ball airborne for as long as possible by passing it from person to person using the rackets.^
In the late 1990s, talk show host Rosie O'Donnell often threw Koosh balls into the audience and otherwise distributed them as gifts to audience members on The Rosie O'Donnell Show.^
