MYRNA BROWN, HOST: The world’s biggest food fight happened last week in Spain. One hundred twenty tons of overripe tomatoes dumped into the streets for 20,000 revelers who by the end were ankle-deep in pulp, white shirts turned pink, and arms all sore from hurling fruit.

The tomatoes are grown just for this festival and not fit to eat. The only rule? Squash before you sling.

This man loves the whole thing:

MAN: Fantastic time. Yeah…The town’s really beautiful. Everyone does such a great job and such great fun.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Yeah, but who does the laundry?

BROWN: The good news is the streets are cleaner than before because the acid in the tomatoes is an effective cleaning agent on pavement.

REICHARD: So I guess you could say they really ketchupped on the cleaning.

BROWN: I’m not gonna try it!
