How To: Pick the Best Watermelon!

I was so surprised when I went to the store this past weekend. 

I was doin' a bit of people watching {aka waiting in line} while I was going to pick out my watermelon. 

I let the people standing in front of me pick theirs first, and when a spot cleared up around the bin, I went in for the perfect watermelon!

But before I got up there, I noticed people were just picking a random watermelon and walking away with it. 

WHAT?!!

I guess I thought everyone knew about how to pick a good watermelon, but that's not the case!

Watermelon's color really is not dependent on how yummy it is on the inside!

 {Except this, if you roll the watermelon over and look at the white spot on the bottom, the more yellow the 'white spot' is, the sweeter it's going to be. But the green part, which is what most people look at, is not really dependent on the taste.}

So take my tried and true tip to make sure you're not walking away with a mushy, flavorless watermelon!

How To: Pick the Best Watermelon!

1. Take your fist, and knock on the watermelon like you're knocking on someone's door. 

"Knock knock knock, anyone home??"

2. The more hollow it sounds, the better it's going to be. 

"No one's home?!"

3. Pick the most hollow sounding watermelon, and bring it home for your precious family!

"Well, if no one's home, guess I'll take this one!"

Bonus Tip: If you see little pinholes or scratch marks on your watermelon {they can be hard to see}, that means that bees were putting their stinger into the watermelon because it's sweet! So pinholes = sweet watermelons!

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
