I kinda got feed-up of Watermelon about a month ago...but I had some prettu good ones. Anyway, I picked-up a grocery store bought seedless melon here in VA a couple days ago (it was both cheap and convenient) and it was horrible. Never again! Anyway, I am going to pick-up a couple of melons down in Texas this weekend and I noticed an Internet watermelon slap test. OK, I've slapped melons...but does anyone truly know what a good watermelon sounds like?
"With an open palm, slap the watermelon. A high-pitched tone indicates green or under-ripe product. A dull sound or dead thud indicates an over-ripe melon. A deep-pitched tone indicates a melon that is ripe. Slap a number of melons one after the other and you will be able to hear the differences in tone."
