Kissing booth

A kissing booth is an attraction, usually at a carnival, where the person running the booth kisses other people, often to raise funds for charity. There are newspaper articles dating back to at least the early 1900s advertising upcoming kissing booths and their "osculatory favors". A 1918 article from The Garden Island newspaper states, "All the horors [sic] of war disappears for the man with a roll of bills at the Red Cross kissing booth -- that is 'till his wife sees him."
