Watermelon Facts

In the 'I'm thinking about all the food I'm going to eat this weekend vein' I was wondering about watermelons. So I went to wikipedia and there really is a lot more to know about this other than the fact that it's my favorite flavor of Jolly Rancher.

1. Botanists classify it as a berry or pepo. Why they call that, I don't know because I’m not a botanist.
2. Depending on the melon it can be a source of beta carotene, lycopene, and Vitamin C. I know what two of those three things are and I’m not telling you which ones. I don't know if it's part of the hcg diet
3. The largest watermelon weighed 262 lbs. at least of the Carolina Cross variety.
