Fruit Fight Fiesta: Tons of Tomatoes Splatter Spanish 'Tomatina' Festival

Tens of thousands of revelers pelted each other with tons of ripe tomatoes in a good-natured battle that filled the streets of a Spanish town with rivers of red pulp. Bunol's town hall estimated more than 40,000 people, some from as far away as Japan and Australia, took up arms Wednesday with 100 tons of tomatoes in the yearly food fight known as the "Tomatina," now in its 64th year. The hour-long battle is so popular that traffic into the town backed up nearly two miles Wednesday morning.
