"We brought our Costco watermelon home and set it on the kitchen counter when it started foaming. Barbara googled it and it said to remove it from the house immediately, it’s likely to explode due to fermenting. We put it in a plastic garbage bag and carefully lowered it into our garbage can outside. Just noticed this morning that the watermelon exploded and blew a hole in the bottom of the garbage can. Maggots everywhere." #Food #warning #watermelon #gardening #homesteading

Amazing!

Are there several hours between foam and explosion?

I looked it up and there are a lot of factors. Sometimes it just cracks open. This is my first time hearing about it.

I'm glad it didn't explode in your car on the way home.

I was sharing another's post. It didn't happen to me.--thanks for caring.
