One of the most well-known fads of all time was the art of “telephone booth stuffing.” In taking part in this event, several students would squeeze themselves into a telephone booth, one after another, until no one else could fit in.
Telephone booth stuffing began as a popular fad in the late 1950s. It all started in 1959 in Durban, South Africa, when a group of twenty-five students crammed into a phone booth and sent a picture to the Guinness Book of World Records

The fad died out within a year in the United States but was reincarnated in the form of “Volkswagen Stuffing” a few years later and, in Britain, “Mini stuffing”.
