Did the word "snowglobe" not exist in 1994?

If only there was a type of "search engine" or something one could use to help research the answer.

Do you think he wants some cheese?

They were always called snow globes.

I have three theories (no research done):

1. They said "ball," "glass ball," etc.. for the children who might not understand "snow globe".

2. "Snow Globe" was trademark of some sort and the company wouldn't allow it.

3. Hmm, what was my last theory. Oh, maybe that was the actual name of the globe that Charlie had "The Ball".

"Do you even remember what you came here to find?"

I was wondering the same thing. I've never heard a snowglobe not called a snowglobe before.

I just watched the 1985 movie One Magic Christmas. There is a prominently featured snowglobe which is not once referred to as such. It is only called a "glass ball."

I was surprised that they did not call it a snow globe.

It's that man again!!

I admit I always thought the line where Scott says to Charlie about the snow globe, "We used to make things like this at work. But no one bought them." Apparently in the world of this movie, Snow globes aren't a hot selling item around Christmas. I still love the movie though.

I'm not sure how old you are, but if you weren't born until after 1994 you wouldn't know that; before that time, it wasn't known, yet, that the world was, in fact, round - and therefore, the word "globe" hadn't been invented.

It wasn't until around early 1995, when a Dr. Edwin Globe coined the word.
