The orange, one of the tastiest, fruitiest, juiciest fruit
you can ever find. I know this part seems like a commercial J
But don’t worry I’m not the girl who is selling oranges to you dear readers.
And I’m not talking about what’s my favorite fruit.

oranges to each other as a sign of
forgiveness on the Annual Forgiveness Day, which is celebrated exactly seven

Meanwhile in Ivera, Italy approximately 35 000 people come
out on the streets dressed up in medieval costumes wasting millions and
millions of this innocent fruit to smack each others heads with it.
The idea is instead of cutting heads and stabbing with real
spears like in the Middle ages, people reenact a Middle Age battle, “killing
the enemies using oranges”.
And they do that till they start to drown in the orange
rivers and oceans on the streets.
This year on 27th February, they set the worlds
record for the Largest Orange Fight.
This is how it looks like:
