Do you go ape over seedless Watermelon each summer?

[Doppel]

The amount of this stuff I go through is probably certifiable. I am now getting them a $4/piece, and one I got from Walmart yesterday is a true goliath.

Seedless watermelon is one of mankind's best inventions. I know they've been around for many years, but I don't recall them as a kid and I cannot tell when they really started becoming commonplace.

Apparently here is what Mark Twain thought about watermelons:

It is the chief of this world's luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented.

And this was the old ones--with seeds, which were not even super-sweet candy like the ones we have today.

I'm not a big melon fan. I enjoy it if I'm served melon, but seldom buy it on my own.

I love watermelon, but IMO, the "old fashioned" seeded ones tend to be sweeter and have more flavor. (but the damned seeds are a PITA.)

 

[nageov3t]

I'll enjoy it at a party or something, but I can't eat a watermelon fast enough before it goes bad to justify buying even half of one.

I agree, but they becoming more and more difficult to find...

 

[NetWareHead]

I don't mind the seeded ones. Many fond memories as a kid having watermelon seed spitting contests...

 

[Twista]

i dont like watermelon

 

[dullard]

I've never found a seedless one worth eating - no flavor. I only buy seeded ones now.

Watermelon is good, but Peaches are the great fruit of summer.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I love watermelon, it's one of the tastes of summer.

The seeds are the best part. What are you supposed to spit at your brother? The rind?

I love them. I get one cut it up put it in a bowel so the kids can get it whenever they want. Also we make what the kids call teh "waggy special" its just cut up watermelon mixed with red seedless grapes. both kept in the fridge so they are cold. it makes a great snack on a hot summer day.

Watermelon is great with or, without seeds. I really hate the pricing games the stores play though. Selling by the pound? Really? Selling by the each? One watermelon (seedless) about 6 lbs for $4 bucks? How much of that does the grower get? 50 cents?

I usually buy melons from the farmers market or hwy stands.

There's a scene in Joe Dirt where he makes out with a random girl and she spits out something afterwards. Then he says you can keep the Skoal as he walks away and she smiles. Definitely triggered my gag reflex a bit.

Agreed. The difference in flavor between the two is pretty large.

You wanna talk melons? Good, ripe cantelope is the food of the gods. Oh, and don't forget to put salt on your cantelope/watermellon. Totally transforms them, the sodium is needed to get the real sweetness and flavor.

I LOVES me some good peaches...freestones, not clings.

Waggy, when I enjoy melons, I make sure to put them in my bowel too...:whiste:

These seedless watermelons, like 99% of fruit found in a supermarket these days, have little to flavor. It's as close as you can get to eating water.

The US has been fucked for fruits and veggies for 15 - 20 years now.

i prefer canteloupe, mangos, honeydew and pineapple over watermelon

Melons are incredibly easy to grow and produce way more than you could eat. Stick a couple in the ground with plenty of fertilizer.

I know what you're thinking...

How the hell am I supposed to shove those in my ass? and I agree. The shape is completely wrong for sodomy.
