Seeded ones taste better,, and I was raised to believe that "You don't eat any watermelons before the 4th of July!"
I hope yours was tasty!

What the heck, slow day…..little kid asks mommy about a pregnant lady….mom wants to put off "the facts…" and says she must have swallowed watermelon seeds…..whew, crisis averted…until he sees another pregnant lady on the bus and loudly announces 'I know what you have been doing..'

I remember as a little kid we couldn't eat watermelon inside. Had to be out back with the dog. The dog also loved watermelon so it was ok.
I can finally eat watermelon inside. And yep, the dogs still love it.

I bought one of those seedless ones last month... cut into it and it had no taste... but the dogs loved it, they got a slide for about 4 days running.
Dad had an Army buddy who lived In Arkansas just south of the MO 'bootheel'. Dad and Mom made a trip down there almost every year at either 'watermelon time' or 'peach pickin time' and brought back a load of one or the other. Seems watermelons taste better when grown further south. Put one in the 'milk cooler' (big refrigerated tank that 10 gallon cans of milk were kept in waiting for collection) and it was so cold it made your teeth hurt but was so good, you didn't care.

yep...got mine here in mt grove.
I understand the seed thing, I agree. As kids we would collect bottles get the money for them at the Lil General and go buy a watermelon. Go to the church that had some out side tables and eat watermelon. Then we would spit the seeds at on another.
I guess I don't really understand some of the comments here. Just yesterday I ate about the sweetest and tastiest watermelon that I have ever eaten, and all without a single black seed. Having to stop and spit out the black seeds makes eating watermelon a pain, so the seedless is the only way to go, in my opinion.
Isn't spitting the seeds half the fun of eating a watermelon?
I remember, as a kid, squeezing the seeds between the thumb and index finger until they went shooting out.

Oklahoma, headed for the creek, cut through the watermelon patch and pick a BIG ripe one, float it in the creek to cool it off, then bust it open and ONLY eat the heart (no seeds). ONLY "OFF LIMITS" melon was that really BIG one with stakes around it, Grandpa wanted that one for seeds for next years planting !!
Yep! That was the real fun with watermelons; except perhaps 'acquiring' them from the farmers field.Isn't spitting the seeds half the fun of eating a watermelon?

Yes, to the salt.
I only have watermelon once or twice a year. Don't go out of my way for it but it is nice chilled on a hot summer day, spiked with vodka was the way we did it camping out at the Summer National Drags at Englishtown back in 70's-early 80's. Miss those summer trips with the gang. Salt, nope
We always ate watermelon with a spoon or fork and sorted out the seeds. Couldn't eat watermelon outside w/o being swarmed by either flies or mosquitoes and Mom was picky about kids stringing watermelon juice all over the table.
Was waiting for someone to bring up the vodka..........late 70s/early 80's we had parties in the middle of a field, keg in a trash can in one truck melons injected with Vodka in another truck. It also worked well injected into oranges.......
