We have got to come up with a better way to judge watermelons.

Or at least a way to hold these growers accountable. I’m on my third in a row that I had to basically toss.
Last year the tiny butthole method never failed me but something has changed this year. It’s not working and I have no recourse.

Isn't it a little early for good watermelons? I can't remember the last time I had a sweet one outside of July/August.

The thump method has never failed me.

In the good old days, when the centers of watermelons were very sweet, good cooks would turn the thicker (than now) rind into watermelon pickles which are still an excellent find in some of the restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg.

Two finger rule on the white stripes. If the stripes are wider than two fingers you're Gucci. Less, it's a pass.

What I was told . . .
Take a single pine straw and lay it across (perpendicular to) the watermelon's main axis. If the pine straw rotates and aligns with the watermelons main axis, it's a ripe watermelon.
Have no test data to validate the method.

Is this some kind of Vatican thing or something?

Have you tried returning it to the store?

I judge them by the content of their character like MLK intended.
