Picking a good watermelon isn't always easy, but here are some tips! Look for a "yellow belly" and green "spider webbing." My aunt's trick is the "two-finger test": if two fingers fit between the big green stripes, it's a good one.
I went to the store armed with these tips. A lady asked if I knew how to pick a good watermelon. Excited, I said, 'Buckle up, lady, I've got tips!' She quickly grabbed a melon and said, 'Never mind, I'll just take this one.' Maybe she saw the excitement in my eyes and thought, 'I've asked the wrong person!'
Even though I didn't get to share my tips, it was fun learning them. Try these tricks next time you're at the store'you might just find the sweetest one yet!
