This lead to one of them falling to the ground. Furious, the fallen member grabbed the closest thing to him (which happened to be a tomato from the buffet) and threw it at his friends. The teenagers repeated the fight a year later and it became an official festival in 1959. Most of the tomatoes are inedible and would normally go to waste.
