Around 15,000 participants, including many tourists, engaged in Spain’s annual “Tomatina” street battle in the town of Buñol. Trucks filled with 120 tons of overripe tomatoes emptied their loads onto the town’s main street, where participants proceeded to throw tomatoes at each other.
The result was a street, houses, and participants covered in red pulp. Tickets for the festival started at €12 (approximately NZ$22). After the hour-long tomato fight, the town quickly hosed down the area, and participants showered off the tomato residue.
The Tomatina Festival, which takes place on the last Wednesday of August, originated in 1945 when local children engaged in a food fight. It gained national and international attention in the 1980s, attracting participants from around the world. To protect themselves from tomato splatters, participants often wear swimming goggles, T-shirts, and shorts.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
