Food Fight!

In the small, sunny village of Bunol, Spain, a rowdy crowd of 20,000 men, wearing just their shoes and shorts, launched the world's biggest yearly tomato fight: La Tomatina. At noon on August 26, more than 150,000 ripe red fruits began flying through the air, spraying seeds, juice and pulp. By the time the party was over, the streets were ankle deep in fresh tomato sauce. Spaghetti, anyone?
