Thousands of people descended1 on the Spanish town of Bunol on Wednesday to take part in the Tomatina festival. The annual food fight draws visitors from around the world.
They pelt2 each other with ripe fruit until they become soaked through with tomato juice and covered in pulp3, using more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes. Some of those involved in this messy festival got a stinging reminder4 that tomatoes are acidic, and could be seen rubbing their eyes after getting a soggy missile to the face. When the tomato supply runs out, the messy throng5 jumps into a nearby river en masse.
La Tomatina is rumoured6 to have started in the 1940s when a group of young friends began throwing their lunch at each other one day, near a vegetable stand on a town square. Before long, it turned into an annual tradition
