Just in terms of melon fruits, a ripe cantaloupe or honeydew is far superior.

    - Tend to agree…but it garners points for being the best fruit to inject with Vodka…NT TakethetrainKnute 12:59am · 7/21/26

- You’re wrong. Watermelon is by far the best melon. Sweet, crisp, and refreshing.NT Domer From Hell 10:36pm · 7/20/26
  - I'm going to have to say cantaloupe here.NT BaronVonZemo 10:51pm · 7/20/26
    - Cantaloupe is nastyNT Domer From Hell 11:54pm · 7/20/26
    - This is the correct answer.NT MAS 11:06pm · 7/20/26
  - Unpleasant texture, loaded with seeds, mostly water, and tastes like bad Kool-Aid. MAS 10:47pm · 7/20/26
    - Seedless watermelons is a thing, dummy. And your tastebuds are off…that comes with advanced ageNT Domer From Hell 11:52pm · 7/20/26
      - Seedless are great. Pick by weight.NT NedoftheHill 9:35am · 7/21/26
- Like Sweet Corn, when it is good, it is really good. iairishcheeks 10:25pm · 7/20/26
  - I will go with sugar snap peas over sweet corn.NT MAS 11:07pm · 7/20/26
    - I do snow peas, never done the sugar snap mutants. iairishcheeks 12:18am · 7/21/26
    - Snap peas over good sweet corn? You’re weirdNT Domer From Hell 11:55pm · 7/20/26
- Very hard to pick out a sweet watermelon. I get a few a month during the summer months TampaIrish 10:10pm · 7/20/26
  - Gotta get it at a roadside stand or farmers market.NT iairishcheeks 10:22pm · 7/20/26
