There are some strange and lovely traditions all around the world, from scrambled egg festivals to monkey feasts.

Here are some of the strangest cultural practices from throughout the world that are still practiced today:

Festival of scrambled eggs in Bosnia

Whereas in the UK we might celebrate the start of Spring by picking some daffodils or doing a spring clean, in Zenica, Bosnia they mark the start of the season with an unusual tribute to scrambled eggs known in Bosnia as Čimburijada.

They begin the day with a big breakfast of eggs fried in a big pan in a municipal park near the river. The remainder of the day is spent partying, grilling, and jumping in the river.

La Tomatina, Spain

The first event is La Tomatina, the world's largest tomato fight. That's unclear how it happened, although there are several ideas. One of the most prevalent legends is that individuals who were not invited to the gigantes y cabezudos procession in 1945 staged a riot in the main square using tomatoes from a local vegetable stall as weapons.

Regardless, this yearly celebration takes place in Buol, Spain on the final Wednesday of August as part of a week of festivities in Buol, and consists of people physically tossing tomatoes at each other for fun.

Smashing coconuts on people’s skulls in India

In the southern portions of India, breaking coconuts on people's heads is a long-standing tradition. Their intense superstition has turned this into an obsession, and despite warnings, they have continued to engage in this practice that dates back to the colonial era.

Inside the temple, Hindu devotees will gather, and the Priest will crack a coconut on each of their heads, one by one, as a gesture to the gods that they are requesting good health and success. The subjects will normally go away unfazed by the situation.

Throwing cinnamon at 25-year old’s in Denmark

If you reach 25 and are single in Denmark, you will not only have to face Valentine's Day alone, but you will also have to endure your friends and relatives smothering you with cinnamon.

If a man or woman turns 25 and is still unmarried, he or she must follow this long-standing Danish practice. They are first sprayed with water and then smeared in cinnamon from head to toe. It's not a kind of punishment, but rather an occasion to have fun with friends and family, and it's a centuries-old practice.

The monkey buffet festival in Thailand

Something wonderful, though a little weird, happens on the final Sunday of November at the Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in Lopburi, Thailand.

There is a sumptuous feast and a large party, but it is not for humans. The feast is conducted in honor of Lopburi's tens of thousands of macaques, who are said to provide good fortune to the area and its inhabitants, and are thus the special guests at this gathering.

The event has dancers dressed as monkeys performing at the opening ceremony, as well as fruit and vegetable towers for the monkeys to climb, leap, and eat.

Polterabend in Germany

Polterabend, or "wedding shower," is a unique German ceremony that takes place the day before a bride and groom are to marry. It's a large celebration when friends and family assemble in front of the home and smash objects on the floor like dishes, flowerpots, tiles, and anything else that makes a lot of noise, with the exception of glass and mirrors, of course.

Following the dish breaking, the bride and groom work together to clean up the area in anticipation for the future.

Shoving faces in cake in Mexico

'La Mordida,' a Mexican birthday ritual, is maybe one of the greatest on this list. When the birthday girl or boy goes to take the first piece of cake, they will have their wrists tied behind their backs and their face pressed straight into it while the rest of the party guests yell "Mordida! Mordida!" (Spanish for "take a bite"). It's very crucial to mention that Mexican cakes are quite creamy.

Battle of the oranges in Italy

Every year in Ivrea, Italy, in the three days leading up to Mardis Gras, something peculiar happens. The locals split themselves into nine distinct squads and dress up in war gear before hurling oranges at each other over the course of a few days in an attempt to kill the other teams.

The origins of this game are unknown, but it has grown to be Italy's largest food battle, but not nearly as enormous as La Tomatina.

Finger cutting of the Dani tribe

After the death of a loved one, everyone grieves differently, but the women of the Dani tribe in Indonesia have a particularly distinct and harsh manner of dealing with bereavement.

When a lady loses a loved one, the top joint of her finger is severed. String will be firmly wrapped around the finger until it becomes numb, and then the top of the finger will be cut off by a family member, usually a sibling or father. To halt the bleeding and avoid infection, the incision is subsequently burned.

The procedure is carried out to represent the anguish experienced after the loss of a loved one and to keep the spirit of the departed person at bay.

Baby tossing in India

You might want to take a seat for this one. In India, newborn newborns are thrown from the sides of temples as part of a ceremonial. It is customary to return with your infant to the 50-foot-high Sri Santeswar temple in India and throw them from the top onto a cloth held by both Muslims and Hindus below.

These are some of the oddest customs, yet while they may appear silly to some, they are a way of life for others, and locals think that their activities are justified.
