Watermelon: that delicious summer fruit that makes those sweltering days barely tolerable. When I was growing up, we would have family reunions where lunch was plate after plate of watermelon followed by homemade ice cream.
And of course, every year we would pass the salt shaker around as we ate. That little sprinkle of salt on the watermelon kicked the taste up into overdrive. It wasn’t controversial to me; that’s just how one eats watermelon.
But in the times since, I’ve actually met people who think that salt ruins a watermelon. They look at me with disbelief as I season my fruit. “What the hell are you doing?” they ask as I try to pass them the shaker. I ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and continue ravenously eating my juicy, salty mess of fruit.
To me, they’re the weird ones for refusing to even try it. And the ones that have tried it and prefer their bland, iceberg-lettuce-esque melon are even more perplexing.
Whether you smack it with a hammer, cut it cleanly, or play watermelon ball until someone breaks it, there is only one way to actually eat it.
Salt that fucker up.

I kind of still am.
It's like that, it's pretty good!
Also shake on the chili, lime, and chamoy as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah if you haven’t tried salted chocolate you lead a sad life
Now I agree with you on steak, because all sauce does is cover up what should be a great flavor with a mediocre one.
But salt actually enhances the taste of a melon! It activates your salty taste buds and brings a fuller flavor profile.
Yeah, nothin better than a medium rare watermelon...
??
Give it a shot next time, you don’t have to salt the whole piece
Just a little forkful to see if you like it
BAM!
Apparently grilled watermelon is a thing

Just in case you thought I was weird for putting salt on it
I am basically saying those that salt their watermelon are the reason society is collapsing.
"Ride or Die" confirmed Dominic Toretto, as they took off to find the Dragon Balls in hopes of reviving their friend Sonic
In fairness, if your watermelon isn't also pink in the middle, you may have a problem.
It's too much fruit for me to eat by myself.
That sounds weird. The juiciness is, like, half the point to me.
Yeah, it was weird, yo, but still good. Dehydrated fruit is like bizaaro snack.
Same, honestly.
I LOVE watermelon (big surprise)
I'm ok with it salted, but I don't need it. Generally I will just tuck in as watermelon is just straight up delicious.
Grapefruit is also good with salt
Lies, deceit, deception
I only speak the truth, good sir!
All these citrus fruit ranging from sweet to sour, and you have this one with nothing redeeming like the others
Like this here
or with a spoon and marshmallows
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Disagree about unseasoned grapefruit, but yeah it becomes good with salt.
Which path would the other one tell me is the real one?
