Lookit ... innovation is the way of the world in which we live nowadays.
I now know that slices are so last generation (as balls were the generation before it). Instead, it's all about the watermelon sticks now (and, after trying it this way last night, I will say it's not as messy ... although you do eat more and more of them to get full, which is obvious by the mini-rinds you leave on the plate).
And it doesn't stop there. I also understand that the Japanese are binding the melons (better than binding the feet I guess) to make them square so that they fit better in the frig (or fridge, depending on how you were raised to abbreviate a reference to that appliance) AND that the rednecks are deep frying it at your local county fair.
Watermelon-eatin' in the way of my forefathers, you will (potentially) be missed (can't say for sure until I make the rounds at the fair ...).
