Explanation:
The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war. They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.
King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.

Answer:
Koosh Balls
Explanation:
Invented by Matt Burton and Scott Stillinger in 1998, a Koosh Ball is a small toy composed of many rubber strands attached to a plastic-metallic core. Stillinger came up with the idea to develop the Koosh ball as he became frustrated when trying to teach his children how to play catch. He devised a toy ball that would be easy to catch, and soft enough so as not to hurt anyone. By 1988, shortly after it was launched, the Koosh ball had become immensely popular as a fun, safe and cheap toy for all ages. Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell shooting Koosh balls out to her audience members has become a staple of her show.
