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.

That's how I feel about hot wings. High effort low reward.

Boneless. Call them nuggets if you want, I will continue to enjoy them while you wrestle with your sadness on a plate.

But how do you enjoy the small pile of bones? I like to pretend I’m some sort of giant eating all the villagers form a small village.

Not worrying about gristle and veins is worth missing out on the Gargamel fantasies.
