Deception
My mother-in-law brought me and my husband a bunch of fruits, including a seedless watermelon. I just got around to chopping up the watermelon after going through the peaches, plums, and strawberries. I've never had a "seedless" watermelon before. I was deceived. IT HAS SEEDS!
Have you been deceived by anything like this before? |
When the tag states "Fresh, Ripe Peaches!" ...they are always hard as rocks! ....same goes for plums and nectarines!
"Ripe," my patootie! |
Yes! We had to leave the peaches out for days before they softened.
|
Peaches will ripen in a brown paper bag, or wrapped in newspaper and placed in a cool, dark place....but don't leave them too long, cuz they will get wrinkly.
This works for pears and avocados, too. You can also ripen an avocado by burying it in flour for a day or so. |
I didn't know any of that. I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.
|
Didn't know about the flour trick!
|
If it was those white, little seeds, it's considered "seedless." Only because those seeds are edible, but the black ones are not. The black seeds can be used to grow more watermelon, while the white ones (if I understand this correctly) cannot because they are immature. |
It was a black seed. I chomped down into the watermelon and was blocked by the black seed of deception.

The masked Pisces recognized the work of that arch fiend, captain melonhead.... That malicious malfator of melons...

Of course, I said, "Ugh, this is supposed to be SEEDLESS!" with as much sarcasm as I could. xDD |
Holy sybolizem, batman!!!
|
In my experiences "seedless" means "May contain up to 5 black seeds"
|
Doesn't five seeds negate the term seedless? Oo
|
Well I've never had a fully seedless seedless watermelon.

Mmmm watermelon [drool] |
This thread feels so dramatic, and I love it for that. I want a movie about this situation.
My momma tricked me into eating green apples. I don't think she meant to. I only eat red ones. She gave me sliced skinless apple as always, and after I'd started eating them, she said, "Let me know if you like that. It's a green apple." I didn't do the "*chokes and spits out everything*" bit, but I was like, WHOA, MAN. They taste the same as red to me! She said they're sour, which I've heard before—part of the reason I avoided them, but I taste no difference. Picky as I am, guys. Green apples are picky person approved. [sup] |
My mom once cooked up what smelled like the most delicious fried chicken....put it on the table for dinner...
As I bit into the crunchy breading, I noticed a different flavor and texture than chicken... It did not taste right...and, though I didn't like it, I ate it. My mom silently watched me eat.... Then I told her that she had better NEVER serve me RABBIT ever again!! My mom just laughed... I paid much greater attention to the preparation of the meals after that! |
