Thank you! I'm not the only weirdo slapping watermelons in the store!

Everyone's always like "You want a watermelon that's got a very light..."

No... There should be a slight resonance in your fingers, like you're patting a very overfilled water balloon. If you're not sure, lay your fingers flat and drum them on it. Hasn't failed me ever.

    I used to tap them until I learned that watermelons that were ripe when picked are yellow on their underside. Ones that were picked prematurely are green all over.
