How to pick a ripe and sweet watermelon

one: give it a knock and listen for a hollow sound
two: feel for little bumps on the watermelon, this means it will be sweet!
three: look for a yellow spot, this is where the melons rested and are likely to be ripe! I would always avoid the yellow spot because I thought they were ugly, but it’s actually exactly what you should be looking for!
