Watermelon Man
Some of you may have seen the "thing" on the Internet where people put lemon juice on watermelon and rave on about how much better it makes the watermelon. I have to have said here before that I have never liked watermelon, and how I've been low-key bullied about it all my life.
"You don't like watermelon? You weren't raised right."
"You don't like watermelon? You just haven't had a really good one."
"Eat this watermelon. Just a little bite. I promise it'll change your mind."
Today at the grocery I bought a small bowl of pre-cut watermelon pieces and a bag of lemons and limes. There's no recipe or order of operation: you squeeze the lemon on the watermelon and you're done.
It tastes like watermelon with lemon juice on it.
What's the deal? I don't get it. And I can't even feed the leftover watermelon* to Tap, because, if you go by Internet posts, he is the only dog in the world who doesn't like it. Maybe he's commiserating.
*If reading posts had drinking games, and this one's word was " watermelon," you'd be hammered by now.

But if you don't like watermelon, I see it as just meaning there's MORE for me!!
