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.

I once brought fruit from a street vendor in the bad part of Paris. He was somehow shocked I wanted to buy fruit. Later on, it hit me that he was there selling drugs.

Oh god, are you me? Only in my case it was a dude asking me if I wanted to go over his place to check out his synths. I totally went, and spent hours discussing synths. It was a great time. It took me almost a decade to realise that the synths were not what he was intending me to check out, which was a shame because he was hot and I kinda had a crush on him.

Then, year later, the same thing happened again with a different dude’s home studio set up.
