So instead of trying to blow a watermelon up, I'm gonna celebrate National Watermelon Day by drinking a few Watermelon Beers with the country fella down the hallway and hooking you up with some serious watermelon knowledge.

One request while you celebrate National Watermelon Day, do not put salt on it. Seriously a sweet, delicious fruit (or veggie) and you put salt on it?
