We go back to Watermelon Guy at WAW for this excerpt….

Imagine biting into an apple and discovering the inside is blue. Or cutting into an orange and seeing a nice shade of green. It might freak you out a little bit, right? Maybe make you think twice about eating it?

That’s what the Yellow Flesh watermelon is like. The normally pinkish-red flesh we’re used to seeing in watermelon is, well, yellow. But it shouldn’t freak you out because it’s supposed to be that way. And you should definitely eat it because it’s delicious.

The Yellow Flesh – also known as the Yellow Crimson, and the almost identical twin of the red-fleshed Crimson Sweet – is described by some as having a sweeter, almost honey-like taste than regular watermelons. I’ve never had a yellow flesh watermelon, but based on that description, I’m now dying to try one.

What’s funny is, from the outside, the Yellow Flesh looks just like any other watermelon. It might actually make for a nice little prank, substituting your mother or cousin’s traditional watermelon with one of these varieties and then enjoying the show while they cut into it for the first time…end excerpt.

We were able to attend the State Famers Day held on July 11,2009 in Montgomery, Al.  Here are some watermelon related pictures from the event more picture can be found here.

Free Watermelon, not the Watermelon Express, but the right idea!

It was fun and we met alot of other great people, click this link for more of the day’s festivities.

The Watermelon Express is our way of spreading smiles and meeting the good people of Montgomery.

It will be a tour of Montgomery where the Express will literally be giving away free ice cold watermelon and other treats  to whoever wants it most. As the tour’s outreach spreads and certain businesses realize the true  value of connecting with people and creating goodwill within the community we are confident that they will be interested in participating with us.

Why Watermelon?

Weather is hot, watermelon is ice cold.

Its real tasty and  sweet to eat.

For the rest of us think about the prospects:

Ask your significant other which melon would be riper for consumption on a hot sweaty summer afternoon?

Wally Amos is best known for his world famous line of “Famous Amos” cookies, but he’s also an outspoken lover of watermelon. He’s often seen wearing watermelon printed clothes and he’s approached the National Watermelon Promotion Board about helping to get the word out about the joys of watermelon. (He may even appear as a guest blogger here on What About Watermelon in the future!)

In addition to being a successful entrepreneur (and a full-time resident of Hawaii), Wally has found time to write 13 books. Many of them are inspirational self-help books, including one titled “Watermelon Magic: Seeds of Wisdom, Slices of Life.” The book uses watermelon as a metaphor for life.

According to the book’s page on Amazon.com, “Watermelons symbolize the slurpy happiness of life for Wally Amos. From his life experiences, Wally sees many parallels between humans and watermelons. Just as the vine connects watermelons and the umbilical cord connects mother and child, we are all connected by spirit.”
