Wow, watermelons really changed over the centuries

So watermelons got the banana treatment?

only 17th century kids will remember...

I don't know why but the 17th century watermelon is creeping me out

Idk you but in my country watermelons look like in the 17th century painting

Modern watermelons are so much more efficient. Just look at all the empty spaces in the 17th century version.

If you cut open a watermelon that is not completely ripe, it still looks like that.

They got better. What's wrong with that?

So kids, next time someone says the refuse to eats GMOs (and yes cross breeding is genetic modification - except without the careful lab testing) you can remind them that they could be eating sad pale watermelons <steps off soap box>

That's just an unripened watermelon.
