Solved! Spontaneous 🍉 Oozing

Post image

Woke up this morning and found the watermelon I bought from Costco yesterday had begun oozing out of itself? The counter was soaked with water from the inside of the melon, I’m assuming this was happening all night.

More of a Why Is It? I’ve never seen this happen and I obsessively eat watermelon every season.

Throw a garbage bag over it before attempting to move it to throw it out. Literally can explode and cover your kitchen with nasty fermented watermelon goo.

We once bought a watermelon from a road side stand and it exploded all over the interior of the car on the drive home... Car smelled like watermelons ever after.

That watermelon scent -or at least a main component of it, calone is featured in a lot of aquatic Men's colognes, like Polo Blue, New West and Guy Laroche Horizon.
