Ms. G bought watermelon yesterday at the MM Mkt.  This morning this is what it looked like.  I have never seen anything  of the likes.  It  just seemed to crack more like a small hole and it had foam all around.  Could it be to many chemicals in the growing process?    Anyhow not taking any chances with eating it.

Probably the result of heat and an air pocket. What's it like inside?

Fermentation? What did it look like inside when you cut it open?

I've seen it before and with cucumbers too. Not too sure why but threw it out.

Cucumbers do produce a white substance but the stuff in your pic and that I saw looks more like soapy dish water !

Here you go, seems they couldn't work it out in HK either !

Wife says it's to do with food colouring they inject to make it more red inside. Apparently gives you belly ache.

Did you put anything into that little hole ?

That melon is in the special, rare, state caused by the alignment of Ketu and Rahu; it is emitting an imitation of sea-foam to try and attract a micro-Aphrodite from the Aether.

 

If successful,  the Demon inserted in the melon by Ketu and Rahu will capture the micro-Aphrodite and redacted with her, and release billions of other tiny demons to wreak havoc on you,

 

Cover the melon with a red cloth and spit on it three times, then send me your credit-card details, and I'll take care of the rest.

 

cheers, o:37~

My vote:  insect 'house' for the eggs.  Try spittle bug on google.

Thank you one and all for comments and suggestions offered.  I must extend a special thank you  to

Orang37.  I followed your instructions as best as I could make them out.   The three times comment was slightly blurred,  something like this,   a red cloth and s*it on it three times,    Upon receiving your instructions, and knowing of the unlimited respect I have for your superior intelligence,  I immediately took the watermelon, in question, to the nearest confined space available.  In my haste I forgot about the red cloth, so once there opted to use the best substitute I could find. I hope and pray that toilet tissue is an acceptable alternative to Ketu and Rahu as that was all that was  available in the Hong Naam.  ....and here I must apologize to K & R ,  but I really tried as hard as I could, really, really tried hard, but try as best as I could,  I just couldn't muster up the 3rd S*it.  Do you think I can be forgiven???
