I don't get the appeal of watermelon, amirite?

You're probably not eating ripe watermelon if you say it tastes "kinda bad". It should be lightly sweet. The texture isn't really changeable, so can't really do much about it.

Watermelon has a huge texture range. It can be crisp or rubbery

They can add a smell or flavor to certain foods that can be masked by others, intermittently

It is rich in vitamins and helps to keep children hydrated who tend to drink less water.

If you like Feta cheese try it with 🍉. You might change your mind.

Like most things nowadays, majority of watermelons (like tomatoes) are garbage. The right one, the right ripeness, is divine. How can you say no to wet n' crispy at the same time?

went to spain once and the watermelons there were easily 10 times tastier than the one home in sweden

I actually agree. My sister LOVES watermelon. We always had it growing up during the summers. I just never really cared for it. I'd eat some here and there, but after my first few bites I was pretty much like "alright I'm done here, that's enough." I tried, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's great. Hydrating, easy to digest. I eat it a few times a week because I have chronic gastritis.

How old are you? The trend of "Seedless watermelons" taking over most of the market during past 2 decades has resulted in watermelons that are less appetizing than the average seeded ones many of us grew up with. So while seedless watermelons resemble the fruit that many of us enjoyed decades ago, they're not as good (like many other fruits out there now).

Watermelon is way better homegrown than from a store, just like tomatoes.

Not a fan of melons except the ones my wife has... waiting on the kitchen counter. I think she bought honeydew.

Have to agree. Tastes like dessert cucumber and I'm not here for it.

by Alisa75 11 months ago

OP, I agree with you. To me, watermelon is just that; it tastes like water. It's water if it had texture and I just find it so vile.

Are you eating the rind? Which totally tastes like cucumber. That's all I can think .

by Anonymous 11 months ago

I'm with you. Actively bad texture, generally meh flavor. They look so cool, though, 10/10 visual design. Particularly cut into those signatures wedges. The flavor can be good, as evidenced by watermelon flavored candy. But idk if that's just synthetic watermelon, or if watermelon flavor just needs to be highly concentrated to be worth mentioning.
