8/23: Massive food fight (thanks Doc)

My spanish co-worker buddies to the rescue again. This is what happens when you combine 30,000 people and 132 metric tons of tomatoes.

Back in the 40s, there was an economic fight between the growers and the buyers so the growers decided they would rather have a big tomato fight instead of selling the tomatoes at such a low price. Reminds me of the boston tea party, but I'm not sure why...they both wasted food I guess.

There is only one rule, and it must be followed strictly. A tomato must be opened before it's thrown...we don't want anyone getting hurt

Surprisingly, it only takes a few hours to clean up.

more photos on the official website I like the germans with the goggles!
