Not being fair with fruit

Today I have finally realized that I haven't been exactly fair with a highly popular fruit. I had long thought the apple was a complete waste. I have been known to openly challenge people eating them. Today I have realized that the apple is not really all that bad. I realized the a few weeks back that the REAL impostor is the watermelon. I mean, come on, who is it kidding. Compared with its melonic siblings the watermelon ALWAYS leave you wishing for better. Like, oh here I am eating a watermelon, sure wish it were honeydew. Watermelon you are on notice!

Given that you were WRONG about apples, I am not hesitant to say you are WRONG about watermelon. Fresh, crisp, sweet, hydrating... and PINK. Watermelon has it all. Honeydew, on the other hand, is usually unripe...ugh. It's a huge gamble getting a good-tatsing honeydew, and totally TOTALLY not worth it.

Gotta say it, Watermelon rocks. Don't know where your coming from with that one. Apples are OK, They're not all that. Watermelon, however, is the king of melons!

Finding a tasty watermelon is hard...especially a seedless one. I think produce farmers/suppliers/grocers have ruined watermelon like they did the Red Delicious apple.

On the other hand, a bad watermelon can be saved. Cut it up in chunks and freeze them...then make smoothies and add honey or any other sweetener to taste...yummy!

They're also fun to blow up - probably the coolest fruit to destroy.

I completely agree with Jason here. Maybe it is the MAN that has been secretly destroying fruit for me. This is war MAN. This is WAR! What's next the delicious apricot? Now THAT'S a fruit.

Damn the Man.

You need to move to a place where fruit actually grows... like Michigan.

What did i wander into? How about the peach?

Don't be afraid Peach-phile, you have nothing to worry about. The peach is so beyond any melon it's just ridiculous. Bow melon! Huzzah! Huzzah! The Peach owns you!

Quit your hatin', man! You are so thoroughly wrong with your assessment of the watermelon! Any fruit that you can cause to absorb an entire bottle of Dark Rum (or vodka if you want a less-alcohol-tasting-alcohol) and serve as an aperitif disguised as fruit rocks! Those other melons can be used as bowls but can't hold their liquor!
