LA TOMATINA IS A BIG FOOD FIGHT WITH TOMATOES THAT LASTS AN HOUR!

IT IS HELD AT THE ANNUAL FIESTA DE LA TOMATINAIN IN BUÑOL, SPAIN.

THE TOWN COUNCIL DISTRIBUTES MORE THAN 130 TONS OF RIPE TOMATOES TO

PARTICIPANTS

THE HISTORY:

IT STARTED ON THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF AUGUST, 1945

SOME YOUNG BOYS DECIDED TO HAVE A PLACE AMONG THE REUNITE OF A PARADE.

SOMEONE GOT UPSET WITH SOMEON ELSE AND THREW TOMATOES AT PEOPLE

LA TOMATINA WAS BANNED IN THE EARLY FIFTIES,

WHICH WAS NOT A PROBLEM FOR THE PARTICIPANTS WHO GOT ARRESTED
