You're doing it to me again - no watermelons like those of my youth! The seedless ones are tasteless and the available seeded varieties are hybrids not worthy of notice, IMHO.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY -- U.S. Army Sgt. Anthony Ward, dressed in the Santa suit, and 1st Lt. Philip Vrska, in the Christmas package, bring some holiday cheer to a 5K “Jingle” race sponsored on Camp Ramadi, Iraq, Dec. 20, 2008. Ward and Vrska are assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1. While the festive pair didn’t place in the field of 64, they did complete the entire run in costume.

They aren't as good any more, but they grow what they think people will buy. Well as if we haven't mucked up watermelons enough, look what the Japanese have done to them. This is for real, article at link.
At least I've posted the obligatory photo.
