ASK THE EXPERTS: WHERE CAN I FIND WATERMELON WITH SEEDS?

It’s actually this Sunday, so all the guys reading this and having a heart attack right now thinking they forgot can actually relax knowing they’ve got two days left to buy flowers, pick out a card and make those dinner reservations.

FEATURED PHOTO: THE TINY WATERMELON

Your eyes do not deceive you. What you see above is, quite possibly, the smallest watermelon ever captured on film. Unfortunately, it’s completely fake.
