You're absolutely right. Cut thousands of watermelon for a grocery store and tested all the theories about how to pick a perfect one, none of them hold true. Also loved watching people tap on them like they're watermelon whisperers lol

The watermelon smacking doesn’t get you any information on taste, true. But it does give you an idea of how crisp it is, which affects texture. The crisp watermelons are bouncy when you smack them, and the spongy ones absorb the smack.
