The La Tomatina Festival, to put it mildly, is a tomato fight… a tomato fight that makes the beach scene from Saving Private Ryan look like a trip to Wally World. On the last Wednesday of August, over 30,000 tomato warriors take to the streets of Bunol and patiently wait in the town square. At the stroke of 11am a rocket screams into the air. Upon its explosion, the bloodbath begins. Everyone is given an open invitation to start pitching tomatoes at anyone and everyone. No need to worry about running out of ammo, either, since the town has supplied over 240,000 pounds of tomatoes for your chucking pleasure.
