DUBLIN’S TOMATO BRIDGE

In Dublin, Ireland, someone has left a load of cherry tomatoes on the stone guardrails of a bridge on Drumcondra Road, which goes over a canal and railway line. Some of the tomatoes were still whole, while others had been sliced in half. It has now been nicknamed Cherry Tomato Bridge and people have been flocking to see it. Several posts about the tomatoes have gone viral on TikTok and X, calling it “Dublin’s hottest attraction” and encouraging people to make the pilgrimage to see it. Larger salad tomatoes have started showing up, as well as little packets of ketchup.
* To all of our Irish listeners out there: tomatoes are food. You use them in cooking for something called “flavor.”
* “Dublin’s hottest attraction”? That’s just sad.
* Get ready for the Great Irish Tomato Famine of ’25.
* Could be worse. Could be corned beef and cabbage.
* The Irish use tomatoes on their hamburgers. It’s a tradition on St. Hamburger Pattie’s Day.
