Every year on the last Wednesday of August, thousands of people gather in Bunol, Spain to make each other run and juicy by throwing tons of tomatoes at each other. Apparently people will just rush up to you and tear off your shirt (if you are wearing any), ladies no exception. I know the guys are seating up to read now. The whole festival takes about one hour and all the slimy, wet and red people will then
go to the Bunol river for a wash. One last interesting after-effect of this annual tomato festival, it apparently keeps the street clean via the acid characteristics of the tomatoes.
My question is, do tomatoes actually burst when you throw them at someone??

I WONDER HOW MANY PPL COULD HAVE BEEN FED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TOMATOES THAT WENT TO WASTE. THERE’S ALOT OF UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD AND ALOT OF THEM CLOSE TO SPAIN.
No..and absolutely no .. a TOMATO will not burst when hit provided it extra ripe..but than again how many to get such a huge foam of tomato juice… its really a wonder though I heard about this lot many times.
