Did the word "snowglobe" not exist in 1994?

I have three theories (no research done):
- They said "ball," "glass ball," etc.. for the children who might not understand "snow globe".
- "Snow Globe" was trademark of some sort and the company wouldn't allow it.
- Hmm, what was my last theory. Oh, maybe that was the actual name of the globe that Charlie had "The Ball".

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.

Even though people have made jokes on this thread, the OP does get me wondering about the term snowglobe (my spellchecker doesn't even like the word) so I think it must be fairly new. Christmas globes were always those things people hang on their Christmas tree. But I don't know if the snowy scene miniatures ever had a specific name.
