It’s A Fruity Fiasco: Why Is Your Watermelon Exploding?
Hold onto your taste buds and buckle up for a wild ride into the world of exploding watermelons! Move over fireworks, there’s a new show in town, and it’s as juicy as it is explosive.
TODAY.com recently reported a phenomenon that sounds like something out of a B-movie plot: exploding watermelons are taking unsuspecting kitchens by storm. That’s right, folks – fruit is fighting back!
Imagine innocently strolling through your local Walmart, plucking a seemingly innocent watermelon from the shelves. You’re thinking BBQs, picnics, and refreshing summer treats.
Little do you know, that watermelon has plans of its own! According to TODAY.com brave survivor Emily Durbin and her husband were faced with a watermelon that turned into a frothy fiesta overnight.
The foamy, bubbly substance she encountered could easily have been mistaken for an avant-garde dessert experiment gone horribly wrong. And if that wasn’t enough, the yellow juice decided to join the party too, opting for a chunky and thick consistency that would make even the most adventurous eaters raise an eyebrow.
But what’s a good explosion without a stench that could rival a college dorm room after a particularly spicy taco night? Emily Durbin’s description of the odor as “absolutely FOUL” and reminiscent of vomit has us wondering if the watermelons have been watching too many horror movies in their downtime.
Food safety experts, dressed in their finest hazmat suits and equipped with magnifying glasses, are on the case! Their mission? Uncover the root cause of this fruity rebellion.
Is it a secret underground network of watermelons plotting against humanity? Are they sending a message about their discontent with being sliced and diced? Or have they simply been binge-watching too much “Breaking Bad” and trying their hand at chemistry?
While the experts work tirelessly to crack the case, we’re left with a new item to add to our list of modern anxieties: “exploding watermelons”! So next time you’re ogling the produce aisle, remember to approach with caution.
That watermelon might just be plotting its grand debut as the star of the next fruit-based action movie. Until then, keep your kitchen safe, your taste buds curious, and your fridge explosion-free!
7 Things You Need to be the Hostess with the Mostest
Ice Bucket
Now, everyone wants a cold drink but if you’re like me and in an apartment or simply like things more aesthetically pleasing then this is for you. A cute ice bucket to hold ice and all your favorite drinks. It also limits the number of times people are in and out of your refrigerator.
Condiment Server
Here is one you can use a few ways. Of course, with burgers and hot dogs, the toppings can be easily separated. But, I LOVE doing taco bars and this bad boy makes it so much easier to separate things for such a cute build-your-own taco bar.
Mini Chalkboard Signs
For the hostess that has plenty of food options laid out, these signs are cute for labels. I love a label and I love for things to look cute. So, these chalkboard signs are cool ways to label your food, drinks, etc. so that everything is easily noticed by your guests.
Glass Beverage Dispenser
For those that make great drinks from scratch or simply don’t want to use the jug that it originally came in, here are some trendy glass dispensers. Now, I am certainly going to make a mixed alcoholic drink for the adults to enjoy so these are great to hold them and easily dispense them to those 21 and up.
Food Warmer
Here are affordable food warmers/servers to keep food you either cooked or bought nice and hot for your guests. This way no one’s food will get cold and everyone can have a pretty hot meal to enjoy while they’re having fun at your place.
Cheese Board Set
Now, charcuterie is really a big deal to some people. I am one of them! If I am going to take my time to make this cute display of cheeses and snacks, it has to be on an even cuter board. So, this set is for the person that thinks just like me.
Utensil Caddy
I do indeed have one of these, call me extra I don’t care! But, the little catchphrase is just adorable but I really just got this for the look. You can always just set the plates, cups, and utensils on your table but why not be a little extra and get a holder just for them? I see no issue with it!
