The origin of the idiom "packed like sardines" can be traced back to the practice of canning sardines, where these small fish are tightly packed in cans to maximize storage space. The expression is used metaphorically to convey the idea of being crowded or tightly squeezed together in a confined space, much like the sardines in a can. It emphasizes a lack of personal space and discomfort due to the overcrowded conditions.
