Whatever you do, don’t eat a lot of watermelon after having had beef jerky. I recall that had unpleasant results for an acquaintance. Something about the water content of the watermelon causing the jerky to expand. :eek:

the fuzz on the outside combined with the color makes me feel like I am eating people

You say that like eating people is a bad thing

That’s great! Can you come over to my house in July and August and pit mine for me?

I was waiting for that! Good one!

So that leads us to ask: Why was the amorous melon unhappy?
His girlfriend just told him she canteloupe. Watermelon-cholly fruit he was after that.

I actually started to write a song along these lines when I was a teenager:
“Casaba sure Walter Mellon canteloupe the way my honeydew…”
But, you know, where do you go from there?
The best popsicle I EVER had was a fresh watermelon-juice popsicle!

You don’t find it filling because you’re not eating enough of it.

How many watermelons does one have to eat to be full? My guess is six, but I don’t think anyone will ever get that far because that much watermelon would probably render you unable to leave the bathroom for the next several days.

Ah, you must have missed the part where I said
[QUOTE=3acresandatruck]
About one watermelon a day will take care of me.

Or maybe I just wasn’t clear that what I meant was that when I eat a watermelon per day, that’s all I eat all day long. That would be one of those big spherical watermelons, a little bigger than a basketball. Other posters have hinted at the possibility of certain digestive difficulties when doing something like this, but for me, the only noticeable effect is the same as when I drink a lot of water.
I read this thread while eating fruit salad. I made it with a whole Sugar Baby watermelon, a canteloupe, a pineapple, a pound of green grapes and a pound of strawberries. And DAMN was it good. Good thing, because holy crap did I make a lot of it.

Watermelon juice is proof the Gods love us and want us to be happy. When I first began to travel Asia was my first exposure to it. Available, made fresh before your eyes, on every street corner.
Just cut into chunkage, toss into blender…

I tried making watermelon juice in a juicer one time. It extracted a good amount of pulp-free juice, but the container that usually catches the pulp was full of a thick, deep red liquid the consistency of applesauce. I wasn’t sure what to do with this stuff, so I tried sending it through the juicer again, which accomplished nothing. I tried drinking it, but the texture was off-putting, almost gelatinous and slimy. I concluded watermelon was one of the fruits that did not improve by running it through a juicer. Oh, and it was a pain to clean the machine after my little experiment.
I pit myself because there was watermelon at the grocery store this morning but I didn’t buy any because I thought it was ‘too early’. It’s been just like summer here the last few days. Watermelon would have been the final touch to a perfect Saturday. 
I shall console myself with a popsicle now.
I don’t pit watermelon; I heartily endorse watermelon. But, yeah… it’s a lot of water, and not much else. I can see where once you pee, you’re going to be hungry again.
My husband has acquired for me, on his way home, a watermelon. 
It’s all good now.
Blech. You all crazy.
Where’s that damn puke smiley again?

Nest time, throw the watermelon in the blender with a nice dark rum. That will be a breakfast experience to remember.
[/QUOTE]
And that day - breakfast will be all you remember.
Yeah, Fear Itself, I had a similar experience.
Think blender, not juicer. As you say the juicer extracts too much and the result is off putting.
You’ll be delighted with the results should you try a blender though, I promise!
