Of course you do (I know I do). It starts out clean, but when you get closer to the rind, things can get a little out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that messiness is part of the charm and joy of eating watermelon slices \u2014 and a little watermelon juice on your cheek isn\u2019t all that bad in the grand scheme of things \u2014 but if you want to clean up your act a little, go ahead and check out the video below. The secret: Just two small cuts to the rind. It\u2019s really that simple.<\/p>\n<p>The video is made by a very funny and entertaining man who calls himself the \u201cCrazy Russian Hacker.\u201d His objective: to shed some light on some of life\u2019s best hacks. Other videos by the Crazy Russian Hacker include \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oH2NahLjx-Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Open a Can Without a Can Opener<\/a>,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CXycnnBnAr8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the right way to fry an egg<\/a> and a collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r3guCM3UU8s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five life hacks<\/a> that opens with a tip about cutting perfect watermelon cubes.<\/p>\n<p>So, will I start cutting my watermelon slices differently based on this lesson? Maybe, maybe not (but probably not). Like I said, I don\u2019t mind a little watermelon juice. What about you?
