Pet Peeves #2 - Water Melon

I just cut open a watermelon I had in the fridge overnight. It's nice and red and juicy, but totally tasteless and not sweet at all! I'm about to throw a hissy fit! How do you grow a tasteless unsweet watermelon? There should be a law that requires every store to taste test every third watermelon. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Rant done.

@Virgo79 No clue really. It's just maddening to have your mouth all set for a good watermelon and get yuck.

@Ontheroad maybe let it set in the frig a couple days.
With all this genetic stuff it may not be as ripe as it looks.
