More than 100 tons of tomatoes were launched by participants hailing from the world over to attend the festival of "la Tomatina." Advertisement The annual party -- celebrated on the last Wednesday in August -- started in the 1940s as a friendly battle among neighbors and has over time become an international spectacle with food flingers splattering each other and covering the town in tomato juice until calling a truce.
