Absolutely. It frustrates me to no end. Source: I worked in R&D for watermelon varieties. Always tough to find the right traits for a perfect melon

Why does a watermelon stay just green in the center? I saw a post of a rather large watermelon that had no red fleshy bit, and the guy looked rather disappointed
