In summer? Watermelon beats any fruits by a mile. Cantaloupe/honeydew is rich, good for salad.NTEli ·
Peaches, nectarines, all sorts of berries, pineapples, cherries all superior to watermelon.MAS ·
Pineapples suck. You just lost the argument in my mind.NTiairishcheeks ·

Unpleasant texture, loaded with seeds, mostly water, and tastes like bad Kool-Aid.MAS ·

Seedless are great. Pick by weight.NTNedoftheHill ·

Snap peas over good sweet corn? You’re weirdNTDomer From Hell ·
Very hard to pick out a sweet watermelon. I get a few a month during the summer monthsTampaIrish ·
Gotta get it at a roadside stand or farmers market.NTiairishcheeks ·
