Massive food fight in Spain

People in the town of Ibi take part in the annual battle of 'Enfarinats', where they hurl flour, eggs and firecrackers at each other. The battle takes place between two groups, a group of married men called 'Els Enfarinats' which take the control of the village for one day pronouncing a whole of ridiculous laws and fining the citizens that infringe them and a group called 'La Oposicio' which try to restore order. At the end of the day the money collected from the fines is donated to charitable causes in the village. The festival was first celebrated in 1981.
