Can watermelon go bad

Answer 1

Bacteria makes food (of any sort) go bad, including watermelon. To slow bacteria growth, keep the watermelon in a sealed container i the refrigerator.

Answer 2

I learned from a Central American woman who was slapping the watermelons one by one. I asked her "What sound are you looking for"? and she shown me how to choose them.

The higher the pitch/tone, the better. She told me to avoid the lower pitch/tones, like the ones you hear when something is hollow.

I haven't taken the time to relate it to any characteristic of the inside, but I have been doing so for the last 20 watermelons, and I haven't gotten one tasteless, bad or wrong again.

Someone else wrote here: always buy watermelon that is a deep dark green, the better the green on the outside the brighter red on the inside. Yellow or light green or a soft rind is never a good sign. Once you cut into the watermelon you will easily tell if its bad or not. First the smell will be sweet but slightly sickly sweet. The taste will be ok at first but quickly turn on you, often an sharp or tingly sensation on your tongue is a sure sign its bad, and lastly the juice. Juice will not be the usual dark pink or even red and will be light possibly with abrownish pink color and will have dark red pulp. A ripe melon should never have pulp or atleast ever have pulp darker than the juice.
