The results are provocative, but get a larger sample including couch potatoes, and get a better placebo of watermelon juice any without L-citrulline.

Add Skittles and watch the fun start...!

[BipolarBob]

Okay I have the Arizona Watermelon Juice drink so what part do the Skittles® and Robitussin® play?

[HangnJudge]

Must... Hold... Back...

The Racist Imagery this brings up is...
intriguing

Something about a Flexible Moral Center

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Yeah,,, some Skittles and some Rob, and you’ll feel no pain, until you fall down, anyway!
“suggesting the natural source is the optimal delivery medium.”
That’s what they say about Pot too.

Ok? Where dies fried chicken and Colt 45 malt liquor fit into the regimen?

[edpc]

Yes, but can it help you read cursive?

Don't have to tell me twice.

Watermelon is arguably my all time favorite of food of any variety!

Bflr

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I just put one in the fridge. I wonder if it would be good if I dunked watermelon chunks into vodka. Hmmm...

[KC_Lion]

I’d bet it would! :)

Get a better placebo of watermelon juice without any L-citrulline.

See comment# 1. Typing and eyesight are my real challenges, not syntax.

Hat tip yefragetuwrabrumuy!

Good for the NBA players who have games every night.

I'm probably completely over analyzing, but couldn't said imagery think to take pride in being a head of the curve on the benefits of watermelon, turning the stereotype in to a positive?

I'm not part of the "imagery group", but I liked watermelon before it became a possible therapeutic...

...get a larger sample including couch potatoes,...

Also, do the study as a double-blind, crossover study. If the results indicate a real effect, then do a dose-response study.

[Errant]

Thank goodness I started eating them at a young age.

Screw this watermelon junk science noise. Pickle Juice is king.

[momtothree]

“Pickle juice is king”.

Hmmm... did you use to play football? I have heard pickle juice from several coaches as a sure bet for cramping during a game. I also have used Tonic Water. It doesn’t taste great but will stop a muscle cramp.

[Uncle Chip]

So then if watermelon juice is so good for you then why did the media and scheme team and prosecution and Sanfore police go to such lengths to hide it under the guise of “Ice Tea”.

So, Liberace was on to something, after all!
