There’s nothing better and more comforting than sitting down with a cold watermelon in the middle of summer.

Conversely, there’s nothing worse than sitting down with an unsweetened, tasteless garbage ball of a watermelon.

Saving this to increase my odds!

Honestly, I actually prefer the bigger, firmer, less sweet watermelons over the smaller, softer, sweeter ones. I don't like how the small sweet ones sometimes have a slightly mealy texture, and prefer a lot of cold watermelon texture with a bit of the sweet melon flavor over a smaller amount of melon with a flavor that can be a bit more intense than I'd like it.

Tasteless watermelon is a crime against humanity.
