You Know You Are Old When

When our kids were small, we'd just go out in the yard and slobber down some watermelon slices and let them spit the seeds all over the lawn. Many a stray watermelon plant would sprout. :p
We planted watermelon this year and they have huge black seeds in them. FYI, I can spit a seed about 18 ft, almost twice as far as my 13-year-old son. LOL

You ever try pinching the seeds between your thumb and forefinger to shoot them? Makes a nice snap feeling and goes flying across the patio to hit your brother in-law.

That would be a heck of shot, all my brother in laws are about 7,000 miles away. :ROFLMAO:

Back in the early 90s I was between jobs and worked p/t at a supermarket in the produce dept. They taught us a trick to slicing a seeded watermelon so the seeds don't show. Didn't know that before I worked there, I'd always search for a cut one that didn't show any seeds thinking I got one without any. 🙃

So, can you tell us how to cut (asking for a friend)?

Snap, crackle and pop, have an entirely different meaning than the breakfast cereal. :)

It's been 30 years or so, but as I recall, you make the first cut crosswise (not end-to-end), you'll see white-ish veins. Quarter/halve it along one of those veins, and very few seeds will show.
