Bed Pushers
This trend came to be during the mid-20th century. People would push and pull beds filled with teens for several miles. This was usually done as a race, contest, or charity event. The distance ranged anywhere from a few miles to a few hundred miles. The best part was you could take a nap as soon as you were finished!
Atomic Parties
The people do love to party, no matter how depressing the occasion. Back in the 1950s, Las Vegas and other Nevada cities became the hot spot for "bomb viewing parties." It became a big affair, including a black-tie dress code and even mushroom cloud cakes. Then, the group would gather to watch the explosion.
