Watermelon purchased in Niagara Falls, New York. (Tops Friendly Markets)

So, do you think this is for real? Not so sure I believe the whole gimmicky serial number thing- but it’s a cute idea on a really beautiful vintage looking label.

I did trace my melon. I went to www.melontrace.com , as encouraged by my friendly little watermelon and I typed in my serial number. Sure enough, it told me everything that was on the label. My watermelon was grown at B&K Farms in Dorchester County, Maryland. That’s cool to know. I like buying fruit and vegetables and knowing where they came from.

However, is the website tracing thing for real? I mean, doesn’t my serial number sound just a little suspicious? 101 001 365 024. Like someone was trying to come up with a number and then just thought oh yah man, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day! I don’t know. How many other watermelons have my same serial number? I think we should go to Tops Friendly Markets on Niagara Falls Blvd. in Niagara Falls, NY and find out. Then again, maybe I’ll just stay home and read my Chuck Palahniuk on the glider.

And eat some Maryland watermelon.
