  • The Tomatina legend is most likely a myth, and Wall Street was the first to write about it in 1995 (most likely based on conjecture).

    Its beginning was a religious one, to honor San Luis Bertran, Bunol's patron saint.

    In the procession of 1944 or 1945, a tussle ensued en-route and tomatoes were hurled and with its repetition every year, it became a ritual.

  • "Colorado-Texas Tomato War" was started in 1982 in the United States, Twin Lakes, Colorado, where residents from Texas and Colorado are pitted against each other in a food fight every September.

    Since June 2004, every year the Columbian town of Sutamarchán has hosted a tomato fight event.

    Costa Rica and Chile too have annual La Tomatina - inspired events every year.

    Tomatina not the only food-hurling festival

  • Though there are a number of Tomatina resembling festivals such as Songkran in Thailand, Boryeong Mud Festival in Korea, Garma Festival in Australia; the one that most resembles Tomatina is the Carnival of Ivrea in Italy where people throw oranges at each other.

    Tomato was being sold at Rs.90 per kg and its apparent misuse had irked the government.

    Moreover, the organisers had not paid the entertainment tax nor taken prior permissions for the event.

    Inspired by the La Tomatina' tomato fight in Spain, the event was to show solidarity with the Dutch farmers.

    Moscow decided to boycott agricultural products from west in retaliation to the EU and US sanctions due to its role in the Ukraine crisis.
