Watermelon Day Countdown - Five Days to Go!

Only five days until Watermelon Day. Those who come will have the opportunity to participate in a watermelon eating contest. We want those who read the blog to have an advantage, so take a look at these tips:

1 - Develop a technique. The easiest way is also the messiest, with no utensils, but there are still possibilities for success using a fork or spoon.
2 - Swallow the seeds or chew them with your bite of watermelon. Spitting the seeds will cut into your eating time.
3 - Make sure your hair is pulled back out of your face, if applicable. You don't want to be distracted from the task at hand.
4 - Take lots of small bites you can swallow almost whole. Chewing is another factor that will hurt your eating time.
5 - Eat fast and furious. At most contests, the competition is cutthroat.
6 - Have fun and worry about the mess later.
