How much is too much

[ucfireman]

man selling watermelons in the parking lot, had a truck bed full.
$10 for a red about the size of a soccer ball.
$15 for an orange meat, I always called it yellow, about the size of a basket ball or so.
$20 for a red meat oblong old timey type. Not the great big one but 18-20 inches long.
Seems way too high.
How much y'all pay? Normally. Not when a craving hits.

We paid $5 at the Savannah farmers market. Red kinda round seedless, not the old style

Gave $10 for a yellow got home it was too green and not fit to eat! Haven’t bought one since

If he's gettin it, it aint too much!

$2-$5 right here in the Watermelon Capital of the World, or nothing if you know where the field is.

I figure 5-7 for the smaller ones and 10-12 for the bigger ones.
I figure he bought at the Farmers market and trying to make some money, nothing wrong with that, just too high for me.

If he's gettin it, it aint too much!

He didn't from me.

In my case, I wouldn't want them if they were FREE. It started when my brother and I got a watermelon from our garden and took it down and put it in the creek for a couple of days. Then we went back down there and cut it and I ate "way more" than any human should ever eat at one time. Unfortunately, later that day, I got overheated and I must have "up-chucked" watermelon for a couple of hours afterwards. I've never like watermelons since.

So for me, I wouldn't pay much of anything for a watermelon.

Well then, its too much!

Bout $5 for the small round ones sounds about right. Crimson sweets etc..

$0.00 I don't want to chewy stringy water.

6 bucks for a green striped basketball from Honduras at Krogers around here. Or for the same price you can get a 11oz. plastic cup of it diced up.

Watermelon is a summertime addiction I will spend my last dollar to sustain. That, grilled hotdogs, and baseball on the radio.

I`ve never bought a watermelon in my life....

What a man!

 

[Nicodemus]

What a man!

As I`ve said before, I was the champion in five states, could jump a 4 foot hogwire fence with a Charleston Gray under my arm. Nowadays though, in my old age, I just eat the watermelon in the field, climb the fence and go home.

10.99 for a round one at the farmer's market over the weekend. I passed. I don't eat'm but was going to get one for the grandkids. Yeah, I'm cheap....

I got some nanners, nectarine's and grapes for less..

 

[NCHillbilly]

They're about $5-$10 for a fairly good sized one here.

Nah, Nic lives close to watermelon country, I live in it.
