    So that’s why so many people feel the need to open carry their guns to the grocery store. They just want to make sure they pick a good watermelon.

    Real way for anyone wondering:

    1. Yellow spot implies it had longer time ripening on ground, good.

    2. Webbing/veining on rind, good. Idk why, though.

    3. Seeded watermelons are generally sweeter than seedless varieties

    4. Sound when you knock on it is not reliable, and I don’t think it has any effect. In contrast to 1, all green with no yellow usually means less ripe. Shape doesn’t matter.
