Chile -

There is a festival that takes the regular ol' food fight to a whole new level! Thousands of people participated in the third annual "War of the Tomato" in Chile. More than 40 tons of tomatoes were brought in for folks to lob at each other. The purpose, we're told, is to allow people to de-stress.  In total, about 7,000 people participated in the tomato fight.
