There are many techniques to how to pick out a good watermelon, out of the same batch of melons, there can be very very sweet to very very plain tasting ones... its up to you and your techniques to pick a winner.

Many people "listen" and "feel" but those techniques are really not concrete enough to be taught to everyone. Rather, it depends more on experience.

I personally never found them to be that accurate. The following is what I found to be a much easier, simplier and more accurate way to get a good melon.

1. Weight: the heavier the better. This means that there are lots of juice in this melon which generally means a good ripe one.

2. Don't get the greenist ones. Look for that patch of yellow on it. Those melons with the yellow patch tend to be sweeter.

Try it out and have fun picking a good one!
