What's weird is that I don't think our grandsons like it. The oldest doesn't much like fruit or stuff with a weird texture. I think Watermelon fits in with that. And the younger one has gotten to where he's copying his older brother even though he's always loved fruit. I'm not sure about our youngest, the cousin of the other two. He's at a point where when we see him, he copies the other two, but maybe he'll eat it when he's at home. Because for whatever reason, what the boys will eat varies by location and who they are with. They'll eat stuff at our place that they don't eat at home, and vice versa.

The red seedless is what my Wife loves. Not the personal size, basketball size.
Has to be USA, preferably grown in Yuma, Az. Mexico are a huge disappointment, watery with no taste.
I finally found them today. Not Az grown but Texas. But they have the look. Round (female, oval are male) with the yellow area with good "scratch marks" (many bees pollinated the blossom).
That's the trick. No sniffing, no thumping. Trust me, I've tossed many a melon because it didn't pass Wifey's QC taste test.
And have the G'kids try it sprinkled with Tajin. That's how the "cool people" eat it!
