    Pretty much the only true ones are the ones about large webbing or orange/yellow field spots, because they indicate a watermelon that’s left to ripen for longer, but between natural variability and improved farming techniques, there’s no certainty.

      Funny part is when they roll the damn melons, maybe hoping to help them ripen more evenly(?), and you end up with no distinguishable spot and usually a shit melon. Luckily you don’t see many of those.
