During this summer in Milan, Italy a huge pillow fight broke out and was captured on video. It made the rounds of youtube and facebook and others. Now it's showing up in television advertisements. While watching, the pilot told me about a tomato fight that takes place in Spain every year. Naturally, I had to find out more. Here's what I found: In the Spanish town of Bunol in the Valencia region of Spain, there is an annual tomato fight where 240,000 pounds of tomatoes are thrown at festival goers. This festival is held on the last Wednesday of August and called La Tomatina. Here's a video from youtube that shows the fight from 2006 and shares the colorful history.

It is a great party, everyone must go at least once.
Before the battle, The end of "the Tomatina" is when a huge pole is erected. It is covered with soap and has a leg of ham on the end. The most daring try to climb as high as possible to get their hands on the prize, to the general delight of onlookers.
