I just bought a watermelon yesterday and we talked about the spot on it and what people say. I just hoped for the best and picked one. great video and now I know!!!!
awesome video! I'm a produce guy for a company for over 27years.... and I always do the straw show to allot of my customers at work! and you know what it works!!! great to see this on video!! keep up the great work my fellow produce guy!
Best watermelon is at the start of summer, depending where you live. The first rain before the summer ends signifies the end season for watermelon. Also if you flick the watermelon and it sounds crisp its sweet but when it sounds broad its full of water. We used to sell melons and coconut before.
The broom hay stran really works, i wouldn't have believed it, I have seen it turned vertical with my own eyes. It was something my grandmother showed me when I was a little boy. Do I do straw every every time I buy a 🍉, no. But it works!!
It's not just slapping it. You feel it for vibrations. That "springiness" is correlated to how much it vibrates. So if it vibrates as you slap it and it springs back at you, you know you got a good watermelon.
Great video Dan! I appreciate your warm enthusiasm for delicious watermelon :) YUM! Wish I lived in Alameda. I don't know if you read these comments. I live up in Sonoma County and I wonder whose produce stand you would pay homage to up here if you were in the area? I appreciate the tip if you've got a minute and you are "In The Know" ! Stay Awesome
Thank you Michael, Andy's is the only produce market that I can think of in your area that would carry them. These older varieties are not grown widespread anymore. Their size gets to 40+ lbs at times and the work involved is treacherous (for today's workers). It takes small specialty growers to produce these varieties. This is the reason that you do not see them in many stores anymore.
I'm not American, I'm from Brazil. I live in Brazil. All we listen here about America is that food is industrialized, that you don't have good food, etc., and it is nice to watch a video like that, that shows us that there is an America other than the movies and mediatic America. By the way, I was watching your video because I am a translator, and I was trying to figure how they call that watermelon with the peel that looks like a rattlesnake. In Brazil, it is called "Cascavel da Georgia" (Georigia's Rattlesnake), since it was brought to Brazil by American immigrants that came to Brazil after the end of Civil War. Congrats from Brazil!
kashif zaman hi. Food in Brazil varies from place to place, since Brazil is a huge country. I'm from São Paulo, which is a big city just like NY or LA, so you can find junk food as well as a great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, since we are located south from the tropics, so weather is balanced. We have sun the entire year with some colder weather in Winter, but not for a long time and it never goes below 50F°. If you go down to the South, closer to Argentina, you'll find more severe and longer Winter days. If you g all the way up o North, it gets warmer, just like in the Caribbean Islands, so, we can grow practically any kind of food throughout the country, 12 months of the year ;)
I remember these kinds of watermelons. Sweet, juicy, the seeds, they where so delicious. Nowadays I can only find boring, seedless, tasteless melons where I live. 😞
I gave up and just downloaded an app for that! Its still a bit tricky as it only detects if the watermelon is red or not, which is not always what determines the quality. It told me the other day that the watermelon was not ripe but when I cut it open it was sweet as anything!
Hey Dan..great video!!..love your crazy energy n enthusiasm!!..Question for you?..we live in the desert so we usually have to buy GMO watermelons from chain grocerie stores or Wal-Mart n most of the watermelons come from Mexico..sometimes they are sweet sometimes not..Dose your advice still apply to these types of melons?..can you give me your best tips and advice for picking the sweetest GMO watermelons? Thank you!! :-)
These watermelons are old varieties that the grocery stores do not handle. I am not sure if the same applies to GMO melons since the they have been altered.
So high sugar content in a wheat field will produce crop circles? And what about 3D crop circles, sugar with magnesium? Tap the melon, it should vibrate, there is a sound, high pitched, the melon vibrates. If the melon 🍉 is overripe it’ll thud, like tapping a pillow, this means the cell structure has deteriorated and water inside is no longer compartmentalized within the cell structure, the cell walls (the meat) are waterlogged.
first time seeing golden watermelon.... must be tasty.... my second favorite after he king...Mango we ask them(vendors) to get a cut(before buying) to confirm it whether its red or not😂😂
best way to tell it is fresh...is that..it must have greenish branch...and the watermelon look very oily...and fresh watermelon doesnt break so easily though...i pluck watermelon fresh from the farm...not from market..

The "magnetic field created by sugar" that effects straw!
Now I've heard it all!
Thanks for "getting" the sense of humor.
Dont mind the other comments, if you were selling those watermelons in my country, I'd definitely buy one everytime I see you.
I love your enthusiasm.
Thank you Rad Fern and I would look forward to seeing you!
"The sugar in this thing will knock your socks off" 😂

Just blew my fucking mind at the end....my god. I love that.
This looks delicious! Never had or seen a yellow color watermelon.

Heading over to Alameda Now!

I like how you say watermelon you make it sound so delicious
Thanks Dan very helpful

Finally. someone I truly believe has taught me how to pick a watermelon!! Gonna give it a try. Hope it works!!#
The broom hay stran really works, i wouldn't have believed it, I have seen it turned vertical with my own eyes. It was something my grandmother showed me when I was a little boy.
Do I do straw every every time I buy a 🍉, no.
But it works!!

That's great job sir...
Where can I get the yellow watermelons ?? They're so good !!
It's not just slapping it. You feel it for vibrations. That "springiness" is correlated to how much it vibrates. So if it vibrates as you slap it and it springs back at you, you know you got a good watermelon.
1:42 Would you just look at that? Whenever I see a good watermelon I say, "Just look at it!"
People are gonna start bringing knives cutting watermelon in the store listening to this guy
So refreshing, sweeettt
fantastic voice, Nice presentation. thanks for the tips
When other people think yellow watermelons are exotic but here in the Philippines you can see them almost everywhere😏
This dude needs to be in the radio business
He use to be actually

What types of fertilizers do you use on these watermelons?
Michael Norton
Michael Norton thank you Michael! I always loved Andy's. Is it still there?
Looks delicious. My grandma's melon would split open like that as soon as she put the knife in. Great video sir!
Finally, a seller who really values *high sugar*. Yes, it tastes good because it is good! Yum, I want one of those yellow ones!
Great job sir
Americans and sugar, better love story than Titanic
Terrific

Amauri Alves da Silva I m learning Brazilian Portuguese language and I would love to visit brazil sometime
Watermelons used to be bitter tasting, but with years of selective breeding, it becomes sweet.
Originated in South Africa, grows along the Nile... from North Africa..
I remember these kinds of watermelons. Sweet, juicy, the seeds, they where so delicious. Nowadays I can only find boring, seedless, tasteless melons where I live. 😞
Thanks. Greetings from Holland
His accent is dope
I gave up and just downloaded an app for that! Its still a bit tricky as it only detects if the watermelon is red or not, which is not always what determines the quality. It told me the other day that the watermelon was not ripe but when I cut it open it was sweet as anything!
Great video. Where can I get some seeds? What is that yellow fruit in between the watermelon bins? Also, do you have a video about it?
Mona W l
Back in my home town, yellow watermelon is super common....
Lost it at the magnetic field, this guy can't be serious
Dan what kind of knife were you using for those crisp watermelons
Meat Milk I want to know the same thing lol
Hey Dan..great video!!..love your crazy energy n enthusiasm!!..Question for you?..we live in the desert so we usually have to buy GMO watermelons from chain grocerie stores or Wal-Mart n most of the watermelons come from Mexico..sometimes they are sweet sometimes not..Dose your advice still apply to these types of melons?..can you give me your best tips and advice for picking the sweetest GMO watermelons?

These watermelons are old varieties that the grocery stores do not handle. I am not sure if the same applies to GMO melons since the they have been altered.
So what's that thing you have in your hand to check the watermelon?
with so little friction involved i wonder how much air movement would be needed to move the straw.
Fred Flintstone about the same amount of breath it takes to bitch on the internet rather than move on
The man has a voice for Radio.
Thank you Captain! Check out our podcast: anchor.fm/produce-pair
what was that stick thing so I can try using it at the grocery stores
A simple piece of straw
I love watermelon so so much 😍
Gracias amiga cuidate mucho besos y abrazos desde México y el caribe mexicano 😆😘😊

Love water melons.
Never seen the paler water melon though in UK
Jackie Negus you in the UK that's why
yellow color watermelon first i saw this nice
thank you :)
This guy looks like the guy on Saw 5, the one who works for the herald
I bet all of them shown were very sweet, sometimes whole batch is good no matter size or signs sometimes they are awful.
Thanks
black Diamond watermelons are the best. I use to grow 90 pounders in Oklahoma.
Love 'em!
Dan I am on my way to your store for this watermelon
nice voice:) like from a radio:)
lol why this in my recommendations and why am I watching this in the middle of the night
Very good
WOW that sounds
So high sugar content in a wheat field will produce crop circles? And what about 3D crop circles, sugar with magnesium?

If the melon 🍉 is overripe it’ll thud, like tapping a pillow, this means the cell structure has deteriorated and water inside is no longer compartmentalized within the cell structure, the cell walls (the meat) are waterlogged.
if it springs back that means it's spongy inside
Black diamond watermelons are the best.
nah that tap tap is the way
great way to pick water melon. Next time I will go to super market with a knife and split all water melon in half to find the sweet one
he should join as WWF host, good voice and has wrestler body.
Nope it is the sound when you know how tasty it is
that guy is good at making advertisement
Where did you get that knife? Also does it have a name or model? Thanks
Nice tip 😃😃
to choose a watermellon we must know its split when we cut a little with knife..

dan the gmo man
S H what
Glad I live close by 😝
first time seeing golden watermelon.... must be tasty.... my second favorite after he king...Mango
we ask them(vendors) to get a cut(before buying) to confirm it whether its red or not😂😂
Look very good.
Satisfying
"Sugar gives a magnetic field" AHAHAHAHAHAHHA
this guy is telling you exactly what you shouldn't do
great job boss
what the material of the stick at the end?
best way to tell it is fresh...is that..it must have greenish branch...and the watermelon look very oily...and fresh watermelon doesnt break so easily though...i pluck watermelon fresh from the farm...not from market..
3:29...That's how crop circles are made??? You take that back
Well, okay, but they tell me at the Intergalactic Produce Company that they use watermelon energy in the process.
Dan's Fresh Produce You know too much than you should. You'll be on our monitor list {{{{}}}} :D
Note: Crop circles r normally form in wheat fields. It is implied that someone must have brought a watermelon there : ) Lol
