For me it was about 5 years ago, I'm over 30, realizing that my parents and extended family lied to me about watermelon seeds growing in your stomach.
It was just so ingrained in me as a child that it took more than 20 years for me to question it.
Watermelon is so much easier to eat now.
I learned recently that your can cut the two vertices that form the base of triangle watermelon slices (so that the slice becomes a top-heavy pentagon) so that they don't collide with people's cheeks when they eat them. You can do it on quater-wedges before you make them into individual slices.
It's seems so obvious but none of the adults around me did it growing up, lol.
Maaaaaaaan. Gonna have to try that lol.
