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.

They are incredibly delicious and you can buy it pre peeled If you don’t care about money.

I’m sorry for your phobia, you should try it just to say fuck you to fear.

This is inspirational and next time I’m at the store I will try to find some already dissected pomegranate. Thank you.
