Just found your channel. Years ago I followed "Home Made Everything." Unfortunately the guy got cancer & passed away. Finally, I have an intelligent replacement! I loved your approach to this problem. Also, your deer video was great. Now I have to go binge-watch all your videos!
I am a 60 year old mechanical engineer and have been a pretty good watermelon picker for many years. I have things I look for to indicate sweetness but have always thought that the "thump" is the only indicator if the flesh was firm and not over ripe or cracked inside. Cracks should deaden the sound. I have a fairly good ear when it comes to music and I look for a melon that "rings" or resonates really well when thumped. I loved your video demonstrating that with data. Awesome video! :)
You have to take into consideration where the melons are from, how they are kept in the store etc whole bin could be good or bad depending on season and grow location etc
Yea, I thought about that. Lots of smaller, organic watermelons don't have field spots at all for example. I purposefully chose all of the same type to limit the number of variables in the experiment.
Lol literally the technique i do😂 plus its more guaranteed with mini watermelon. I stop buying huge watermelon because my family can't finish it in one go. Also, if its bad then money wasted. Mini watermelon are just perfect. 1 mini gives 4 servings❤

Thanks for your kind message. So glad you are here and following along! Hope you have a great day :)
THANK YOU! Finally someone using scientific methods to tell which methods are effective for selecting a good watermelon.
As a drummer, I appreciate that picking the watermelon that sounds most like a drum is a verifiable technique!
So fun! Appreciate you guys. I hope you are doing well!

Yellow lay spot and brown dry stem w/ round melon is best way.
You are such an engineer! I love the way you guys over analyze because without you, nothing. Sine Qua Non!
Great video!
Brooo this video was fantastic!!!!

Your baby is ADORABLE
It’s gambling to choose sweet watermelon 99% wrong
Excellent! Well done!
Hey thanks! Glad you liked the video :)
This is good content. 👍🏻
Thanks so much, glad you liked it! :)
I wonder if these factors vary among watermelon varieties
Yea, I thought about that. Lots of smaller, organic watermelons don't have field spots at all for example. I purposefully chose all of the same type to limit the number of variables in the experiment.
What picking technique do you swear by?
Cut & taste it period ;
hhh yeah end of the point 😂 🙏@@samlau2852
