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.

What temperature preserves watermelon?
The answer to this question depends upon which fruit you are talking about and whether you are the harvester, shipper, grocery store or consumer. Let's guess you are the consumer. . . .
- Buy only enough fruit to last for a few days
- All cut fruit should be kept refrigerated since they would be considered potentially hazardous.
- Whole fruits like apples, pears and oranges can generally be stored unrefrigerated for a couple days, but refrigerate them if you want them to last longer. I like pears softer, so I let them ripen a couple days at room temperature, then refrigerate.
- Bananas are generally not refrigerated. If my bunch ripens too fast, I peel and freeze them for smoothies.
- Softer and smaller fruits, like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes are usually kept refrigerated. Even refrigerated, they can mold in a couple days - but sometimes that is because they are old by the time they get to your store.
- Stone fruits, like peaches, plums and nectarines, will not ripen under refrigeration. I allow mine to ripen at room temperature, then refrigerate to keep them for a few more days.

Yes. If you eat enough watermelon your feces can turn red, just like with eating beets. Also, if you eat it fast, your body may not digest all of the pulp and you might see some in your stool.

If you are worried that what you are seeing is blood stop eating the watermelon for a few days. If you still see red, then you should contact your doctor. And do not listen to people who say that watermelon is pure water, that is not true at all. It can affect the color of your stool.
