My friend Alicia recently told me she didn't understand why people like watermelon so much. "It's 94% water," she said. "I just don't get what all the fuss is about for that 6% of natural sugar." I nearly plotzed when she said this. As anyone who is not absolutely crazy knows, watermelon is the awesomest and most delicious fruit on the planet. Here are 18 reasons why watermelon is awesome. If you disagree or prefer another melon, please feel free to chime in.
