minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 years agoI was thinking that it’s about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it’s a made-up fruit and I’m allowed some creative licence. Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.
