That's an extremely relevant question Scoots, why do people throw tomatoes? Well I think it has to do with the fact that a tomato is just a big paradox. It is often wondered whether or not tomatoes are a fruit or a vegetable, so when someone is hit by a tomato, their brain instantaneously shuts down to judge whether they were hit by a delicious fruit or a yucky vegetable. As the victim begins to froth at the mouth at such an unanswerable dilemma, the role of the tomato is complete; total mutually assured destruction.
