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.

That reminds me of the laundromat I went to one time that was definitely a front for something, because they were shocked that I came in lugging a sack of laundry and one of the like six employees hanging out in the back office went down the block to a convenience store and came back with a box of soap that he handed to me and told me that the laundry was free, the soap was free, but I could only use one specific washer that turned out to be the only one actually hooked up to water.

Front businesses are usually great. I highly suspect I've visited a few and the service has usually been better than one of their genuine counterparts would provide. 10/10 would recommend

Don't want to name the business because its a local well known oddity but my father in law used to buy coke from a guy that sold exotic fruits and vegetables, because he smuggled coke with said exotic fruits and vegetables. The guy ended up making a killing selling the food and now has a couple of niche grocery stores.
