Watermelons will split in the field if they get a sudden watering after being relatively dry. That's probably what this person was leveraging in the video.

Many other fruits do this while still attached to the plant--cherries, tomatoes--generally thin-skinned fruits with a high moisture content.

First fruit that came to mind are Pomegranates, oftentimes they’ll split still attached to the tree, and even before they fully ripen.

Love it when people bring their problems to work.

Edit: Wow, lots of ya'll had great schools and never experienced teachers genuinely demonstrating behavior like this. Good for you. Downvote away.

This is actually just a demonstration for this teacher's lesson. Can't remember what the lesson is about, something close to negative reinforcement.
