    I didn’t know watermelon could do this. Who… Who buys watermelon and forgets it??? How does watermelon last longer than 4 days… At best?

    It’s watermelon! You buy it because you want to eat it now.

      Literally anything placed in fridge will do this if left uncovered. Fridges, freezers, air conditioners, etc., they all remove moisture.

      I didn’t know watermelon could do this.

      If done in a controlled environment, it’s apparently very tasty! I recently stumbled upon a tutorial somebody made recently about how to make watermelon jerky with a dehydrator. Apparently the flavor gets significantly sweeter. He was making it for hiking/survival purposes, so removing all the water weight lets you pack a lot of lightweight nutrients, too.

      The fridge has nothing else in it. I’m guessing it’s staged or the person literally forgot they had a fridge.
