And tried all the tips. Seem to lack flavor and definitely not as sweet as I remember. Could just be a Florida thing. Not a fan of honeydew or cantaloupe.

Watermelon, a summer favorite, is the most overrated fruit. Prove me wrong. - MAS - 1:57am 7/21/26 (21) [View All]
- Interesting you mention this...I'm just finishing off a bag of fantastic Bing Cherries...great time - TyroneIrish - 4:17am 7/21/26
- In summer? Watermelon beats any fruits by a mile. Cantaloupe/honeydew is rich, good for salad. [NT] - Eli - 3:36am 7/21/26
  - Peaches, nectarines, all sorts of berries, pineapples, cherries all superior to watermelon. - MAS - 3:48am 7/21/26
    - Pineapples suck. You just lost the argument in my mind. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 5:28am 7/21/26
    - Tend to agree…but it garners points for being the best fruit to inject with Vodka… [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 4:59am 7/21/26
    - Watermelon beats all fruits you mentioned in refreshing & texture, but lose to them in flavors. - Eli - 4:14am 7/21/26
- overrated? How so? Who rated it and what fruits are underrated? [NT] - jimbasil - 2:57am 7/21/26

- You’re wrong. Watermelon is by far the best melon. Sweet, crisp, and refreshing. [NT] - Domer From Hell - 2:36am 7/21/26
  - I'm going to have to say cantaloupe here. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 2:51am 7/21/26
    - Cantaloupe is nasty [NT] - Domer From Hell - 3:54am 7/21/26
    - This is the correct answer. [NT] - MAS - 3:06am 7/21/26
  - Unpleasant texture, loaded with seeds, mostly water, and tastes like bad Kool-Aid. - MAS - 2:47am 7/21/26
    - Seedless watermelons is a thing, dummy. And your tastebuds are off…that comes with advanced age [NT] - Domer From Hell - 3:52am 7/21/26
- Like Sweet Corn, when it is good, it is really good. - iairishcheeks - 2:25am 7/21/26
  - I will go with sugar snap peas over sweet corn. [NT] - MAS - 3:07am 7/21/26
    - I do snow peas, never done the sugar snap mutants. - iairishcheeks - 4:18am 7/21/26
    - Snap peas over good sweet corn? You’re weird [NT] - Domer From Hell - 3:55am 7/21/26
