National Watermelon Day!

Hey Everyone,

It's National Watermelon Day!

As we jump into another long weekend, don't forget about this Summer fruit (if you're a fan of course).

FUN FACT: Watermelons are not just delicious and refreshing fruits, but they are also considered a botanical berry. Botanically speaking, watermelons belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash. Surprisingly, watermelons are classified as berries because they develop from a flower with seeds embedded in the fleshy fruit. So, the next time you enjoy a juicy watermelon, you can appreciate it not only as a tasty treat but also as a unique botanical berry!

Have a great long weekend - and consider picking up some Watermelon for an outdoor snack or....

I have been having watermelon everyday since June!

My secret for picking a sweet watermelon:

1. Look for a large yellow spot

2. Pick the lighter green one with webbing

3. Give it a good slap and the shockwave should bounce back to your hand

4. Pick the heavier one if sizes are all the same

And here I thought there was a chance to win a free watermelon. Or watermelon seeds with a free Sim card? Or maybe a sale on actual physical Sim cards? No one I know has a phone with an e-sim......they need actual Sim cards. 2/$10? I need to restock?!!🍉🤪🐈‍⬛
