Watermelon, a summer favorite, is the most overrated fruit. Prove me wrong.
Just in terms of melon fruits, a ripe cantaloupe or honeydew is far superior.

Interesting you mention this...I'm just finishing off a bag of fantastic Bing Cherries...great time
of year.
In summer? Watermelon beats any fruits by a mile. Cantaloupe/honeydew is rich, good for salad.

Peaches, nectarines, all sorts of berries, pineapples, cherries all superior to watermelon.
It's bottom of the barrel fruit. It's like arguing that Three Musketeers or Butterfinger are tip tier candy bars.
Pineapples suck. You just lost the argument in my mind.

Tend to agree…but it garners points for being the best fruit to inject with Vodka…

Watermelon beats all fruits you mentioned in refreshing & texture, but lose to them in flavors.
But in summer and actually in many occasions refreshing is the reason why people eat fruits.
overrated? How so? Who rated it and what fruits are underrated?

Please don't tell me you're offended by my take on fruits. I mean, I get politics. I sort of get movies. But fruit? Really, Jim?
You’re wrong. Watermelon is by far the best melon. Sweet, crisp, and refreshing.

I'm going to have to say cantaloupe here.

Unpleasant texture, loaded with seeds, mostly water, and tastes like bad Kool-Aid.
I first discovered I didn't like it in kindergarten. I had a nasty teacher named Mrs. Waller (Mrs. Walnuthead to me at the time), whom I will never forgive for how she tormented one of my classmates who was fed Ritalin, and whom she sent daily to the principal, Mr. B, to be paddled. She was only exceeded by my fourth grade teacher, who ate whole sticks of straight butter for lunch and kept about a dozen shoes under her desk.
Seedless watermelons is a thing, dummy. And your tastebuds are off…that comes with advanced age

Like Sweet Corn, when it is good, it is really good.
But when it isn't good it sucks.
I love watermelon on a hot day, it's also super hydrating.
I will go with sugar snap peas over sweet corn.

I do snow peas, never done the sugar snap mutants.
I'm buried in green beans at the moment, and I love them.
Snap peas over good sweet corn? You’re weird

Very hard to pick out a sweet watermelon. I get a few a month during the summer months
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.
Gotta get it at a roadside stand or farmers market.

I'm good with a seedless melon.
I won't put in the effort required for the seeds. I do like green and cantaloupe better.
