Cramming People Into A Thing: A Photo History
Phone Booth Cramming was a late-1950s fad with a simple premise: cram a phone booth full of people and take a picture before the people on the bottom suffocate. As you can imagine, this pastime was most popular among college students, and led to international rivalries.
Yes, kids, this is the kind of thing we thought was fun back before we had video games... and when we still had phone booths. But this practice of people-packing goes to places weirder than phone booths, as you'll see in the historic and bizarre images.
