I have bought a big slice of watermelon on the way home. It costs about $1. I know in other countries its much cheaper. Anyway I thought I won't be able to eat them all after all I just had my lunch. But anyway maybe because it's so hot that's why I was able to eat all of it. But we have small watermelon. It's not slice but whole piece bit only a small piece.

I eat watermelon all day as it has very less calories compared to other fruits which make you put on much weight. It is the best fruit to have the whole day if you are intent on loosing weight. Moreover, its sweet taste makes it a much better snack for people who have a sweet tooth. I can have a whole watermelon in one day and still crave for more. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water.....

that is true i think it contains very few calories so it is safe for people who are in a diet and i think it is also low in sugar. but contains a lot of good vitamins and yet it is satisfying to the mouth as well. it feels like drinkings a lot of water also when you eat a lot of watermelon.

Eating watermelon in a hot day is just the right thing to do... Do not worry eating too much of it because God really gave this kind of fruits to eat during hot days. If it is cold, hardly you can see watermelon around and you will not crave for it. Watermelon are there to quench your thirst during hot days naturally and it is good for your health as well... If you have noticed that if it is summer, there are many fruits that are juicy and in colder days there plenty of citrus fruits around... This is how we are supplied by God on foods....

yeah it is good with the hot weather. although it was raining a lot lately. but few hours back it was hot again actually. that is why after a walk under the sun, when i reached home i immediately ate the watermelon. so i would need to buy again tomorrow.

I remember well buying a big watermelon (the green with yellow patches type) from a child by the roadside in Bechuanalnd (now Botswana) in Africa.
It was boiling hot in the desert and yet the pink flesh was so cool and moist and juicy. Fantastic! Cost a ticky as I remember = 2.5c
Truly a miraculous vegetable!

Haha? I expect you're right in the US but this watermelon was wild and collected in the bush to sell by the road. Boy, did it taste good!

My friend and I just had watermelon for lunch today. It was lovely sweet and cold. It is one of my favorite fruits as well. In my country, you can watermelon only during summer season but outside my country, I can eat watermelon throughout the year.

i don't know if it is available here in the country throughout the year. although i loved watermelon even before i was not in a habit of buying it because of the price. but now i just want to buy it often despite the price.

Water is my favourate fruit in hot summer.Although we can eat it throughout the year,i think winter watermelon is not as good as the summer's.
In hot summer,we all like to eat cold and sweet watermelon,especially freeze one in refrigeratory.Maybe cold watermelon hurt our stomach if we eat lots of cold pieces.

May be you people have summer season now. So to have a good relief from the hot climate having those watermelon helps you a lot. It keeps your body with splendid of water which is needed by your body. During summer days my father used to buy big watermelons and we used to eat them on most of the days and I love having them.
Really it is very god to have those fruits on these hot days.

Hi,
I also like to eat watermelon very much. It's very juicy. In hot season it quenches your thirst. I like it's color combination green, dark pink and black seeds. I can eat unlimited watermelon pieces but eating too much watermelon is not good for our stomach or our digestion.

yeah there is combination of color from the skin to the meat of the fruit and to the seeds. contrasting color indeed. anyway, why does it cause indigestion. i don't feel that i had any problem with indigestion when i eat watermelon.

There is nothing like watermelon on a hot day. It feels so good when you eat it. It doesn't last long so it's good to eat it fast.

that is true. the one bought by my sister was sitting on the table for few days now. and when i picked it up, it is so soft already that it just got squashed when i picked it up. so it was just a waste of money. as i ate what i bought i was planning to open what she bought few days back.

that is great that you love watermelon also. i didn't think that a lot of people love the fruit as well just like as i do. and yes i have read that watermelons contain a lot of anti oxidant and so it is a very good to have it daily.

oh. how come you were able grow watermelons in your place. you must have a good amount of space to plant watermelons i know it would take too much space also. but we don't have that big amount of space to plants like that.

My daughter and I enjoy my watermelon but recently my 4 year old son has been consuming it like crazy. It is very healthy so I am very happy that he enjoys it so much. He is a very picky eater so feeding him is hard. A week ago I bought a big watermelon at walmart in Pennsylvania where I live. The cost was $3.90. Quite a bit more expensive in my country then in yours.

It's not summer season here so i couldn't find any watermelon. Watermelon here is very cheap. In fact, sometimes, I could get it for free because some of our clients have watermelon farms.
No matter how full you are, there's always room for a watermelon. Happy eating!

Oh I like eating watermelon too especially when it is kept in the fridge.
I think I could eat a whole one especially when it is so sweet and the weather is hot.Sometimes we do put alamang on it.
