A man in Costco recently told me to also check the opposite end of where the vine was attached. The ones with the smaller "dot" are sweeter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-the-perfect-watermelon#post-920752 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:45:42 +0000 doodlepoodle 920752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say the same thing as @fussygal: . Dark green rind with a yellow spot, also hold a few that are about the same size, the heaviest will be the juiciest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-the-perfect-watermelon#post-920748 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:43:35 +0000 fussygal 920748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from a big watermelon town and you should always look for one with a big yellow spot on one side. That means it was able to ripen properly in the sun (not that it's going bad!)! The thump test you might hear about doesn't do much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-the-perfect-watermelon#post-920691 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:24:04 +0000 sandy 920691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love watermelon but I hate it when I buy one and it doesn't taste good. I may resort to only buying those tiny ones (I think they're called pure heart or something) bc they almost always taste good and if it's not that good it's only a small watermelon. </p> <p>Please share you tips with me :) </p>
