A watermelon containing several small white seeds and one black seed with diplomatic immunity.[1]
Classification
For purposes of the produce aisle, the little white seeds are officially “those don’t count.” This definition remains in force until one gets stuck in your teeth.
The exception
Occasionally a full-size seed is discovered near the center. The label treats this as an isolated incident. The seed has issued no statement.
Field identification
A seedless melon can be identified by its sticker. The sticker can be identified by how confidently it disagrees with the slice in front of you.
